Six Senses Laamu

Our experience at Six Senses Maldives was amazing, the entire team from kitchen staff, cleaning crew to our GEM Riq did an incredible job. Riq looked after us all week, organising our excursions, arranging meals and making sure everything ran smoothly. His attention to detail and friendly nature made our holiday completely stress-free. We hope to return one day soon!

Our stay at Six Senses Maldives was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks the staff, in particular our GEM Riq. From the moment we arrived, he took incredible care of us throughout the entire week. Hassan also made us a daily power drink, which we wont forget! Riq organised all of our excursions, arranged our meals perfectly, and made everything feel effortless. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he always made sure every detail of our holiday was perfect. We had fish we caught on a trip made into the most amazing lunch as well by truly talented chefs. Thank you all for making our stay so memorable!

Fantastic stay! Couldn’t have asked for more, all of the staff really make your holiday so special. Our GEM was Shiunee was was the best! So thoughtful and nothing was too much trouble!

Words cannot do justice to our experience at Six Senses Laamu ~ the views, the villa, the food, the ambience and the customer service were all exceptional. This is heaven on earth in the form of a resort! A special shout out to our GEM, Shiunee, who was exceptional and provided us with the most incredible service during our stay. She removed all stress, concern and logistics when war broke out and disrupted our travel plans, and replaced our concerns with peace, certainty and kindness. We loved every moment of our stay and will treasure the memories made.

We had never been to the Maldives and were unsure which hotel to pick. A friend who's a travel agent and had stayed at 14 different hotels there sent us to Six Senses Laamu. 'If Robinson Crusoe had designed a desert island, this would be it', she said. And she was right. It exceeded all expectations. Almost everything is over the water on stilts. You're given your own bike and on your way to breakfast you'll see sting rays, reef sharks, even turtles coming up for a gulp of air. Steve Backshall, the TV marine biologist, was there when we arrived and had been giving talks that week. We had a room on stilts and it was even better than I'd imagined and so private. We spent most of the day on our own and wandered to the communal evenings at night. The food was wonderful and the staff are incredible - always smiling and helpful. There's a great dive centre there. A British man who is an experienced diver said it was one of the best he'd been to over the years. I hadn't dived for decades but did my refresher course and within a few days Danny and the team had me out on a channel dive watching sharks and barracuda 20 metres under the sea. But the snorkelling is just as good too - turtles, reef sharks (they don't hurt you), stingrays too and so many spectacular fish. A marine biologist leads a snorkel trip every day but it is all right there on your doorstep. You just climb into another world whenever you want. I run a lot - there is actually a running track of sorts. it's just over a kilometre long. But for anyone like me who wants to run, you can do laps and run up and down the boardwalks where the water villas are. I managed 5 miles/8km without any problem. We only went for a week but that was still a perfect reset and I can't wait to go back.
