Six Senses Laamu

We just got back from a week of pure bliss at Six Senses Laamu. From the warm 'meet and greet' at the airport to our final goodbyes, everything was the perfect mix of understated luxury and genuine heart. The Personal Touches The team there truly goes above and beyond to make you feel special. We loved the little personal touches, like our wooden bike labels, the handy shoe and wet clothes bags, and sipping sunset drinks with the team while dressed in traditional sarongs. Every single person we met was so welcoming and kind. The Villa & Marine Life Our Ocean Villa was spacious, filled with natural light, and packed with everything we needed. The best part? Being able to go straight into the water from our own terrace! We saw turtles and eagle rays daily, and even spotted dolphins while having breakfast! Dining & Activities We did a few activities while there. Visit the SHELL centre to learn about underwater intiatives (coral restoration, Manta Trust and the Olive Ridley Projec); Sustainability tour (a behind the scenes to the resort's operations); Sunset dolphin cruise; private island drop off; and turtle snorkle safari. The food was delicious. Leaf was easily on par with a Michelin-star restaurant, and we had a blast at Kaji—the chef there is a total superstar and made the night so much fun! We also loved the beach lobster BBQ and the fresh sushi at Zen. And of course, we have to mention the free ice cream! With over 40 heavenly flavours (including sorbets and vegan options) and yummy candied nut toppings, it was our favourite daily ritual. Our GEM A massive shoutout to our GEM, Janko, who was a complete legend (a true gem!). He handled our last-minute changes with ease and made sure we had every little comfort, from extra yoga mats to our favourite pillows and even custom tweaks to our picnic basket. Six Senses Laamu is truly a slice of heaven on earth. It’s the ultimate place to unwind, recharge, and just be.

We have absolutely nothing negative to say about this hotel — everything was simply perfect. From the moment we arrived, we felt as though we were alone in the world, even though the hotel was fully booked. It truly feels like a luxurious Robinson Crusoe experience: everything is done barefoot, and here, luxury is not something you see — it is something you feel and live. There is no ostentatious display, no excessive or flashy décor. The luxury lies in simplicity, refinement, and atmosphere. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic: incredibly fresh, with fruits of every kind, sushi, cheeses from around the world, charcuterie, waffles… There was something for everyone. As a honey lover, I was delighted — there were eight different varieties of honey! The choice was simply wonderful. The tea served is TWG, one of the finest and highest-quality teas in the world. Therme are thoughtful touches everywhere: water points around the island where you can refresh yourself during the day (very appreciated when it gets hot), cozy spaces to relax, and even board games and cards available when it rains. The experiences were extraordinary: a private open-air cinema under the stars, massages of exceptional quality with a breathtaking sea view, meditation sessions, a day on a private island with a picnic worthy of the finest restaurants, and an incredible cocktail bar. The staff — every single person — was smiling, kind, and genuinely happy. You could feel a beautiful team spirit between them, especially in the mornings at breakfast. They smiled at each other, laughed together, and that warm, respectful, almost family-like atmosphere could be felt throughout the entire island. The island itself is loved and cared for. Nature is deeply respected. The buildings are constructed using wood from the island and crafted by local artisans. They grow their own mushrooms and herbs for the meals. There is a marine research and coral preservation center dedicated to protecting the reef. Plastic is strictly prohibited — a small detail that actually means a lot. They will gladly explain everything they are doing to preserve the environment and help nature regenerate naturally. This commitment is visible and sincere. And what can we say about our GEM, Shiunee — she was wonderful. Kind, discreet, efficient, always attentive, and always with that beautiful sparkle in her eyes. She handled every last-minute change due to the changing weather and rain with grace, constantly adapting the plans to ensure everything remained perfect. A thousand thanks to her for making this week unforgettable. It was truly a waking dream.

The best team and place ever. We choose this place for sustainability as a DNA. Thanks to the shell and team you understand very well the importance of nature. We don’t have a B planet ! And B Maldives of course. Fahudh and all team dedicated to services (food, diving etc.) are top. Congratulations to all of you and people that we don’t see but who wooin the backstage.

We had a really wonderful stay at Six Senses Laamu; it lived up to the high expectations we had before our visit! The villa was incredible and the friendly, attentive service from every member of staff made us feel really welcome. The food was generally excellent and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and barefoot vibe. It was great having bikes to cycle around the island. We would love to be able to return some day!

The overwater villa was absolutely stunning, offering unparalleled comfort and relaxation. It was incredibly difficult to leave such a paradise! The housekeeping was great, and we were fortunate to have the wonderful Shiunee as our GEM. She attended to our every need and wish with promptness and care, truly making our stay amazing. We enjoyed cycling around the resort with the bikes provided. While the choice of activities could have been more extensive and much less expensive, we never found ourselves bored. The restaurants were all excellent, serving intriguing and delicious food. We were also delighted by the biologist team, who were incredibly enthusiastic and always available to provide explanations.
