Six Senses Laamu, Maldives
You know that when there’s a house reef on offer then you’re heading somewhere rather special. At the sensational Six Senses Laamu – which is the one and only resort on the dreamy Laamu Atoll in the Maldives – the underwater vista is almost unparalleled, whether you’re deep-diving or snorkelling. On the surface, you might find yourself cruising at dawn or dusk on a traditional dhoni sailing boat, island-hopping to deserted beaches, surfing, sunbathing. Then there’s the resort itself…

Six Senses Laamu, Maldives
We adore Chill Bar, situated over the crystal clear water like many of the soothing thatched villas on offer. It’s wonderful to enjoy a cocktail here after the spectacular lightshow that fades sunlight into the starriest of night skies. Chances are, before then, you’ll have savoured a beach barbecue of grilled lobster, or dinner at The Altitude Wine Cellar cooked with fresh ingredients from the resort’s own organic gardens. Six Senses Laamu is all about that elusive sweet spot somewhere between relaxation, stimulation and sustainability.
At A Glance…
- Six Senses Laamu is the only resort in the Laamu Atoll, just a short seaplane and speedboat transfer from Male International Airport and you are in true barefoot luxury heaven, deep in the Indian Ocean!
- There are 97 villas spread around the island, constructed using sustainable and local materials; choose to stay over water or on the beach. The Sunset Laamu Water Villa is one of our favourites – a private hideaway facing the sunset that you can enjoy from the comfortable seating area on the treetop deck.
- Sustainability is at the heart of Six Senses’ decisions and actions and at Laamu this really is the case. In the heart of the island you will find LEAF Garden, where organic produce is grown for the chefs to use.
