Six Senses Laamu

Unique location; very relaxing and luxurious setting, extremely friendly staff, great food, excellent snorkling at house reef and seagrass area. Our GEM Janko was phenomenal and organized everything for us perfectly.

After five days at beautiful Six Senses Laamu a "once in a lifetime holiday" becomes a holiday it only makes sense to do a second time. The whole experience was a delight, even when at times the weather was unpredictable. There are plenty of activities to partake in if you want… but if you just want to switch off and live in a dream-like state for a few days you can do that too. The island is fun to explore, with lots of little surprises to find, and cycling to and from the villa just absorbing the surrounds really adds to the “pinch me” experience. Our sunset laamu water villa with pool was incredible - all the more charming for the more earthy decorative style, and perfectly maintained by Samah our villa attendant. Food is plentiful and delicious, and served with joy. Leaf restaurant was a real highlight, one of the best meals we’ve ever had. The list of people to thank is endless but special thanks go to chef Iko (who saw us trying to get a glimpse in the cellar late one night and stopped what he was doing to take us inside before introducing us to Madushanka the head chef whose team do an amazing job!), Kathu and Ansar who were always friendly faces, and especially Muhey - who really went above and beyond. Thanks too to Singh (who made incredible marine-themed pancakes) and Saumya (on fruit), both lovely. There was another sweet hostess who we think is named Sushmita (always in white with her dark hair in a low bun) who seemed to be everywhere, was always smiling and always took the time to chat. The snorkelling was unreal, both on the house reef and in the seagrass. We only had to snorkel 30 metres from our deck to run into a turtle (or ray, or shark). Definitely recommend going on a guided snorkel, a fantastic experience - thanks to Tahlia and Nisha. The experience filled me with admiration for the conservation and sustainability efforts Six Senses Laamu have in place. Of course, the BIGGEST thanks go to Faudi, our GEM, who carefully orchestrated our stay before we’d even arrived. No request was too big, and speed-bumps were dealt with efficiently and with a smile. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes and was just genuinely a fantastic human to be around. We wish we could take Faudi on all our holidays. We could go on for days about this place, and the team behind it - even the people raking the beach and fixing the sand paths after each rain storm, but we recommend you just experience it yourself.

This is our second trip to six senses Laamu and it really did feel like coming home. The stand out is the staff, every single one is friendly and welcoming and can’t do enough for you. Our GEM Janko, needs a special mention. He made our experience so smooth and easy, planning our dining, kids club, movie nights for our daughter etc ahead of time. She was treated like queen of the island, and Janko made sure there were so many special and personalised touches for her! He really did make our experience faultless. The food and accommodation do not disappoint either. We really hope to be back next year. Thankyou to Janko, and all the staff for an special and unforgettable 10 days.

It was our second time to this fantastic resort where the service is incredible and the diving is out of this world! A special shout out to our GEM Riq, who looked after us this year and last year. He went away part way through our trip and handed over to the lovely Faudi, who stepped in and took wonderful care of us. Special mention also to Anoof, JJ, Mahid, Aiman and Warren. Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel treasured. The food is fantastic (we are one vegetarian and one vegan) and we have never eaten so well. We will be returning for sure and we don’t normally go back to the same resort more than once because there is so much of the world to see, but this place is an exception. See you again soon!

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The villas are beautiful, impeccably clean, and offer everything you need for a relaxing stay. We were especially impressed by the exceptional friendliness of all staff members – every request is handled individually, and you always feel genuinely cared for. The food is outstanding. The quality is excellent across all restaurants, and our favorite by far was Leaf. Special dietary needs, including vegan options or food intolerances, are taken into account with great attention and ease. A special compliment goes to the housekeeping team: while we were at breakfast or dinner, our villa was always cleaned quickly and thoroughly. Our GEM, Sam, made our stay absolutely perfect. He took care of all our requests – from restaurant reservations to special wishes like different pillows or certain drinks in our villa’s fridge. The service was warm, attentive, and consistently reliable. The house reef is stunning. We saw a large variety of fish and rays, and in the nearby seagrass meadows we regularly encountered turtles – a true highlight. The entire island is a barefoot island, which enhances the natural, relaxing atmosphere. You simply don’t need any shoes here. Overall, we had only positive experiences. Six Senses Laamu is an absolute dream destination for us, and we would return without hesitation.
