Kanuhura Resort & Spa
Lhaviyani Atoll, Maldives
Nearest Airport: MLE
My expectations for Six Senses Kanuhura were high! It was my first time at a Six Senses-resort - something I’ve dreamed about experiencing for long. Well it did not only live up to the expectations - it exceded by far. From the arrival greeting to the ‘departure detox shot’ - everywhere we were met with genious details and small surprices. The beach is beeeeeautiful. The rooms are cozy and comfy. The food is insane. The spa is a work of art. Nice location only 10 minutes boat ride to the Turtle Airport with guarantee of seeing turtles. And best of all: The service is in a league of it’s own. In regards to this: A special thank you to our GEM Mua, who was attentive, quick and extremely kind. I came here with five senses. Left with six. This is the kind of impact this hotel leaves you with.

We spent 10 incredible days at Six Senses Kanuhura, and from the moment we stepped off the seaplane, we knew it was going to be special. The welcome we received from the team was so warm, everyone greeted us with smiles and made us feel instantly at home. Throughout our stay, the staff were amazing! Always friendly, attentive, and full of positive energy. The resort offers a great variety of activities, and we particularly loved the snorkeling, which was some of the best we’ve ever done! We also had the chance to play tennis with Christina, who was absolutely fantastic! fun, professional, and very motivating. The spa was another highlight so peaceful and beautifully designed. Food-wise, we were spoiled for choice every day! Every meal was delicious, and we really appreciated the number of options available. We were also very impressed by the resort’s strong focus on sustainability. It’s wonderful to see such a beautiful place taking meaningful steps to protect the environment and operate responsibly. Finally, we have to give a special thank you to our GEM, Sameeh. He made our stay absolutely seamless! Planning and organizing everything perfectly, always one step ahead, and making sure we could simply relax and enjoy ourselves. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly elevated our experience. We can’t thank the team enough for making our stay so memorable!

Our stay at Six Senses Kanuhura was nothing short of magical — truly one of our best holidays ever! From the warm welcome we received to every thoughtfully planned experience on the island, everything felt personal and seamless. The food was outstanding, especially the night market restaurant, the special Maldivian meal experience crafted just for us — both gave us a true taste of the islands. We were lucky enough to see over a hundred dolphins on our sunset cruise, a breathtaking moment we’ll never forget. The house reef snorkel was incredibly vibrant and alive; we loved it so much we went twice during our stay. For families, the Grow kids’ center was a dream come true for our 10-year-old Aanya. She participated in so many fun and creative workshops — glitter tattoos, scratch art, hydroponics planting, bracelet making, and more. Her absolute favorite, though, was the unlimited ice cream on the house! A huge shout-out to our GEM, Sameeh, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His warmth and attentiveness made our holiday extra comfortable and stress-free. Especially when we kept forgetting our things in various places, he would just magically appear with them Everywhere we went, the staff radiated positivity and calm — exactly the kind of energy that makes this island so special. Overall, Six Senses Kanuhura exceeded every expectation. It was an unforgettable experience for our whole family, and we can’t wait to come back! The one thing I would suggest to all fellow travellers is to truly listed to the advice of going shoe free and really using this time to ground yourself with the mud, the sand and the water!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, everything felt seamless and welcoming. The highlight of my experience was definitely the incredible butler service. Our butler Zhanna went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect – from arranging reservations and assisting with special requests to simply checking in to ensure we were comfortable. It felt like having a personal guide and assistant throughout the trip, which made our stay not only stress-free but truly enjoyable. The level of attention, kindness, and professionalism was outstanding and added a personal touch that made the whole experience unforgettable. Zhanna is simply the best! Leo from MSC
