Kanuhura Resort & Spa

We had a great time at Six Senses Kanuhara! It was our first time in Maldives and it truly felt like paradise. Our GEM Lucía made the experience all the more special. She was there every step of the way and made our stay very comfortable, enjoyable and memorable. We will definitely be back again!

We had a wonderful stay at Six Senses Kanuhura. The service was outstanding and made our experience truly unforgettable.. The resort is stunning, with beautiful surroundings, great facilities, and attention to every detail. We leave with amazing memories and would love to return.

Wonderful experience at the Six Senses at Kanuhura. Cannot fault it. Food, atmosphere, activities and all choreographed through our excellent GEM (General Experience maker), Sameeh with Lai also being superb, made it a trip to cherish.

Myself and my partner are currently on the plane home from Six Senses Kanuhura. We are both so sad….. We had the most amazing holiday and cannot wait to return. Our amazing GEM Shifu made our stay. From the day we arrived until we left today she went above and beyond and made sure we were having a wonderful time. She had a smile on her face each day and we loved catching up with her throughout the day. We were so lucky to have had such a lovely GEM, we miss her already !!! We loved our daily visits to Scoop to try the new ice cream flavors and speak with Ishani and chatting to everyone each day Tapa and Puskar at the Point were amazing !!! The island was just something else with natural beauty everywhere you were. We went on sunset cruises, turtle safari and we took a boat out to see the dolphins on our last day with Shan and Kevin from Watersport, they made our trip too, we had so much fun with them. The food was exceptional 10/10. With so many options and restaurants we really could not fault anything. The rooms were also perfect. We stayed some nights in a beach villa and some in the water villa. The rooms were spacious and beautiful. We couldn’t fault anything here either. From the moment we stepped off the plane at the airport everything was handled for us the whole process was so simple and the sea plane was amazing and only 45 minutes. It is the most amazing place we have ever been and it’s the people that made the trip for us. I will be counting down the days until we can come again …….☀️

Our first visit to the Maldives after many years of dreaming about it - our travel agent, who is an expert on the islands, told us of all the options available this was the perfect destination for us and she was absolutely right - this place is just incredible. From the moment you arrive you enter a whole different world. It's very hard to define why it's so great - but everything is just so...beautifully done. It's not bling, it's not showy (there are other resorts that cater for that), it's perfect, understated quiet luxury. There's a whole secret sauce that create this wonderful feeling - the warmth and attentiveness of the staff, never intrusive but always quietly present, the perfectly groomed surrounding, the respect for nature and the environment, the incredible beaches and of course the water... Coming from a rain-drenched London winter, we were a bit bemused on arrival to have our shoes taken and advised that it's encouraged to go barefoot everywhere - but we very rapidly embraced that as well as cycling (barefoot) everywhere on the bikes supplied with our villa (complete with our initials on a wooden plate so we could identify them!) We chose a beach villa which was gorgeous - perfectly design and furnished, literally a few yards from the beach. A really beautiful sanctuary. We didn't opt for a pool and didn't need one - the sea was less than a minute from our terrace. As for the activities - just brilliant. Wonderful snorkelling - to see the coral reef, reef sharks and an amazing one to see turtles off a nearby island - as well as a sunset dolphin trip...all managed by the brilliant watersports and boat teams. high quality, well-maintained boats, and fantastic care and attention for their clients. We'd never snorkelled really before and were a little tentative but the staff made it effortless and gave us every confidence so by the end we didn't even think about it as we swam with about ten large reef sharks and a couple of manta rays around us. The food is fantastic - exceeded all our expectations - agree with all the other rave comments about the staff and executive chef...everything was brilliant but I still dream about our breakfast table outside on the beach...we loved all the restaurants, particularly the excellent Italian and Japanese ones; we took the full board option and found that superb value. Not to be missed is the hideaway lunch restaurant Drift - a short boat trip away..as close to paradise as it gets.... Being Six Senses, of course the spa is incredible with a whole phone book of treatments as well as a complimentary health assessment and there's a great gym as well as an interesting array of yoga and meditation activities. Special mention to our fantastic GEM (guest experience manager) Lai who had endless patience and was constantly handling requests for us and chasing down items I'd lost or left somewhere..always with a smile, such a wonderful attitude - she's a real star. The General Manager Alica is running a phenomenal operation here - she and her team are visible but discrete, always checking everyone is happy and all is working as it should. She's a hospitality rock star! All in all, this isn't a traditional beach holiday, this is a complete escape. From the second you arrive at Male and are taken to the private lounge awaiting the sea plane transfer, you step into a different world. And when you leave, you take a little of the magic home with you and it lives on... We cannot wait to go back....
