An unforgettable experience at Six Senses! The island is a true paradise, but what made our stay perfect were the people. A special thanks to our reference person, Sameeh, who guided us with professionalism and passion through the many activities offered, giving us valuable advice that made every day unique. Thanks also to the very nice Ram at the suspended pool, who, with his cheerfulness, brought smiles to our faces even on rainy days. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I stayed at Six Senses Kanuhura for our honeymoon, and from the moment we landed, we experienced the best holiday of our lives. We were warmly welcomed by the hotel management team and our Guest Experience Manager, Zhanna, and treated to incredible service and genuine hospitality. Over the next 13 days, we relaxed in pure paradise. The island is stunning—beautifully maintained and treated with care and respect by the team. Every corner feels like a dream island getaway: pristine, natural, and unspoiled. White sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters teeming with life surround you everywhere. The service at Six Senses is truly second to none. Zhanna greeted us every morning to make sure we had everything we needed, and every evening to ask about our day. Every staff member we met was kind, friendly, and attentive. From the GM down, everyone is focused on the well-being of their guests. What makes it so special is that the care feels genuine, never forced. There’s clearly a culture of looking after their staff, which translates into people who are happy in their roles—and that shines through in the quality of the service. Six Senses Kanuhura has multiple restaurants, and all of them are fantastic. A special mention goes to Asian Night at Sip & Sand, where we enjoyed incredible sushi and pizza, and to The Market for its outstanding breakfast buffet. But the star of the show has to be Scoops—free, locally made ice cream available all day, served with a smile by the wonderful Ashani, who was an absolute star. Activity-wise, you will never be bored. There is so much to do, whether you want adventure or relaxation. We only sampled a fraction of what’s on offer—snorkeling, a dolphin cruise, a guided house reef snorkel, meditation and breathwork, and massages—but every experience was exceptional. Whether you’re looking for an active holiday exploring the underwater world or pure serenity, there’s something here for you. A special shout out to James, an incredible snorkel guide whose passion for the ocean made the experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. We were cared for, looked after, and felt devastated to leave. We made real connections with wonderful people, and we miss it already. A huge thank you to Zhanna, who made our trip so special, and to the entire Six Senses team for making our honeymoon truly unforgettable. I'e already called out Zhanna, James and Ashani, but there are so many others we want to thank that I can't list. If you’re considering going—just go. It’s worth it.

I received a very warm welcome, from the lounge while waiting for the seaplane. There was drumming 🪘and all the staff were standing by to greet me. We had a gem Latheef🐋 who gave us advice and helped us plan our day's activities, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. The villa 🛖was beautiful and comfortable, and the cleaning staff did a great job every day. The restaurant was also very good. I enjoyed the Spanish food the most. We had dinner there twice. The Japanese, Italian, and Asian food were also very delicious. On Fridays, there was a BBQ buffet with live music. The atmosphere was romantic. The staff gave me many souvenirs. It was a very fun and happy trip.🐳💗😘🐠🦈🪼

We had such a beautiful and unforgettable time, all thanks to our amazing Guest Experience Maker, Ardana. She made every moment special, and because of her, we honestly had the best time ever

Six Senses Kanuhura is a sanctuary of its own. Super relaxing, utterly beautiful with the most incredible staff you can wish for. The island and its marine environment is a place that feels like heaven . You will find there everything you can wish for.
