SIX SENSES LAAMU

The only resort currently located in the Laamu Atoll, Six Senses is the epitome of eco-friendly luxury.

The rustic ‘Robinson Crusoe’ style villa’s, all crafted from local and sustainable materials have been designed to blend with the natural beauty of the island. With a selection of water, lagoon, ocean and beach villas on offer, one of the hardest decisions will be deciding on which one to stay in!

Another island that runs on ‘Island Time’, the extra hour of daylight in the afternoon allows you to make the most out of the day before the sun goes down. Sunset is best spent at Chill Bar, lounging in on of the hammocks over the house reef, signature cocktail in hand.

With a real focus on healthy living, there are plenty of dining options available. One not to miss is dinner at the islands signature restaurant, LEAF. Set amongst the trees, overlooking the tranquil lagoon, the philosophy here is farm to fork with the fresh ingredients coming from the island’s organic garden, or from one of the close by neighbouring islands. Oh, and did I mention the free ice-cream? Currently count is 48 different flavours!

For the surfers, there are several breaks not far from the resort. If you are a beginner, there is a gentle beach break that you can paddle to from in front of the surf shack. For the more advanced, Yin Yangs, one of the most powerful waves in this part of the Maldives, is only a quick boat ride across the channel. When firing, it’s one of the most powerful and perfect right-handers in the Maldives!

There is also plenty here to keep the little ones entertained, including a Junior Marine Biology program for kids from 6-16yrs.

From deserted sandbank picnics, cooking classes, stargazing and movies under the stars, to snorkelling and diving in the surrounding pristine waters, it really is an island lover’s paradise!

INSIDE INFO

The beach at Six Senses is a green sea turtle nesting ground. If visiting between May & August, you can sign up for turtle hatching. Accompany the island’s marine biologist and the Turtle Team to witness & make sure these little guys make their way safely to the ocean.
