Six Senses Laamu

Another amazing holiday in our paradise on earth. We were lucky with the weather out of season with only a few short showers. The food, especially the breakfasts, is outstanding and the spa is exceptional. The best treatments I have ever experienced were by the very kind and talented Binitha, an expert in Ayurvedic massage treatments. All staff members are unfailingly helpful and friendly, from the brilliant serving staff at mealtimes to the dive and surf teams giving excellent tuition. Special mention has to go to our phenomenal GEM Shah who went to great lengths to ensure we enjoyed our holiday to the fullest. His tailored recommendations were spot on, even down to tasty breakfast items we might not have spotted! Thank you, we will be back and hope to see Shah again.

Choosing to stay at Six Senses Laamu for my Maldives trip was absolutely worth it! Upon arrival, the butler handed me a small jute bag to store my shoes, allowing me to start the entire barefoot experience. I could truly feel the soft sand and cool seawater—such a delightful sensation. The hotel's decor and aesthetics perfectly matched my taste, brimming with Southeast Asian rustic wooden style. Made almost entirely of wood, it exudes a strong natural ambiance. The glass elements in the rooms are striking: fully transparent glass bathtubs, sinks, numerous glass floors, and even glass details in the bathroom. When the sun shines in, the whole room glistens, making it ideal for taking stunning photos. Additionally, each room has a stargazing loft; lying there with a glass of red wine and watching the stars at night was incredibly romantic. The accommodation experience was flawless. I stayed in a water villa, which was spacious and fully equipped. I could enjoy the breathtaking sea view right from my bed, and stepping out the door led me directly into the sea. The private terrace featured a net bed and sun loungers—lounging there, feeling the sea breeze and soaking up the sun, was pure bliss. The sound insulation in the room was also excellent, ensuring a sound sleep every night. The snorkeling resources here are outstanding, truly living up to its A-level snorkeling rating. There are 1.5 kilometers of house reefs, seagrass areas, and other coral reef snorkeling spots nearby, teeming with rich marine life. Every day, there is a free one-hour snorkeling tour led by marine biologists, offering a rare chance to observe various marine creatures up close. The hotel's food was also amazing. With multiple restaurants serving Mediterranean, Japanese, and Southeast Asian cuisines, the ingredients were fresh and the dishes exquisitely prepared. Many ingredients at the signature organic restaurant come from the hotel's own garden, making the food extremely healthy. The breakfast had a wide variety of options to kick-start an energetic day, while dinner by the sea, accompanied by the sea breeze and beautiful scenery, created a wonderful atmosphere. Moreover, there were over 40 flavors of ice cream available for free—such a satisfying treat! From decor and aesthetics, accommodation experience, to snorkeling resources and food, every aspect of Six Senses Laamu exceeded my expectations. I will definitely come back if I get the chance!

Six Senses Laamu has beautiful scenery. Overwater villas stand on the clear lagoon. At sunset, the sky turns orange and pink. There are many sea creatures in the nearby coral reefs. The service here is great, and the GEM is very thoughtful. They will know your needs in advance, prepare welcome gifts for you, and help you arrange suitable activities to make your stay comfortable. The experience here is unique. You can go snorkeling with tropical fish in the morning, enjoy delicious food on the beach in the evening, or walk along the coast and feel the breeze. Every moment feels like a wonderful memory.

Our 6 senses did not stop to be pleased and impressed during this short stay at the resort. The rooms, the service, OMG the gourmet high end food, the access to the reef for snorkeling just feet from the beach, the personalised surfing lessons (thank you JC and team), and the personalised service in general … our Great Experience Manager (GEM), Faui, truly wore his title… so attentive to every desire or need. He made a huge difference to our stay!

Everything about the resort was perfect from arrival to departure. Access from Male by seaplane is straightforward and handled by the resort. The team are well-organised and every request is dealt with efficiently without fuss. The experience managers are a great help, allowing you to get the most from your visit from the start. The restaurant staff are welcoming, creating a smart but not overly-formal mood. Food quality is excellent and drinks are reasonably priced. The gym and spa are good, with a wide range of treatments. All staff are courteous and friendly. The property is clearly maintained to a high standard and the incorporation of the ocean in the design is clever. The villas are good with excellent views and privacy. The educational aspects are integrated seamlessly and sustainability is considered throughout. The excursions and activities were superb and none were cancelled, even when numbers were low (as the occupancy was not 100% due to season). We had great experiences with marine life including rays, turtles and dolphins. The resort has a feeling of contented relaxation at all levels and the staff are a real credit.
