Hotel information
The only resort on the virtually uncharted Laamu atoll, deep in the Indian Ocean.
This barefoot luxury resort benefits immensely from this superb location and status as a Six Senses property, utilising their aptitude for innovation, sustainability and quality.
With its crystal clear waters and platinum sand beaches, this is the Maldives as nature intended it to be and this offering from Six Senses has also been designed to be ecologically in tune with its idyllic surroundings. Its villas are eco-friendly yet luxurious, sitting on the beach or over the turquoise water of the lagoon and its 5 unique restaurants offer the best organic, fresh food, grown and caught locally. There is even a complimentary ice cream parlour for guests to enjoy.
For dining with a difference try Cooking Hut with live stations and pizza oven that also offers cooking classes with splendid views over the lagoon, where guests can enjoy learning about various cuisines from Asia and Europe. And for a wine cellar with a difference, Altitude is a 6.4-metre tower of spun glass enjoying 400 different labels and a tasting table and Deli that offers an extensive variety of charcuterie, cheeses, freshly baked bread, as well as pickles and chutneys to match. If you want to ensure that every moment of your culinary adventure is paired with the perfect beverage then the ‘Saints and Sinners’ drinks package is available to pre-book before you arrive in paradise.
For guests who have overindulged there is a state-of-the-art gym and as you would expect a plethora of water sports along with a superb Six Senses Spa which sits on the beach and houses five secluded treatment rooms plus two single and two double treatments nests within the island's natural vegetation and is the perfect place for pampering and unwinding. Or why not spend an evening relaxing in front of a classic movie at the open air Cinema Paradiso? No matter how you want to spend your time, your personal Guest Experience Maker will be on hand to tailor make your dream activities and excursions.
