This has been our 4th visit to the Maldives and I have to say this was our most incredible and memorable experience so far. This trip was planned to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday and my son’s 8th birthday, both 2 days apart so we decided to upgrade and stay at Six Senses Kanuhura which is one of the top properties at the Maldives. The hotel and their management went out of their way to make sure our celebration was extra special. We stayed in the 2 bedroom family beach villa with pool. This was a newly built room and it was the incredibly spacious. Amsood our GEM was very thoughtful and had something special planned for us every day with a small surprise. Whenever we needed him he was there in less than 10 minutes. Bryce the General manager of the property made sure we were very well taken care of. He met us personally every morning at breakfast and helped plan our day. Because we were celebrating 2 birthdays they provided us with many complimentary things which would normally be charged. Also 1 very special thing that was done for my son’s birthday was that the hotel planned a small football game first r him since he loved football. They made 2 teams with the hotel staff and this made my son’s birthday extra special. This was very thoughtful. We are looking forward to visit next year again!

This place is a paradise. You disconnect from your busy routine to embrace a deep connection with nature and yourself. Everything is perfect: the villas and their privacy, the areas where to mingle with the other people, food is exceptional in all their venues (and as a demanding Italian I can be trusted!), the sea and coral reef are magical. The people working here are ALWAYS welcoming, helpful, and problem solving. Rajje, the client manager we were fortunate to have, was absolutely great, an angel on earth to us. Highly recommended destination.

This is by far the best resort I have stayed in in my life as a very frequent traveller! I had visited the Maldives before at the Four Seasons, and found it a bit underwhelming, but at Six Senses the Maldives really lived up to their hype! What sets this resort apart from all others is the impeccable service. We had our own GEM (Guest Experience Manager) Rajjee who made every moment of the trip unforgettable. He would check on us frequently throughout the day, making sure we had everything we need, suggesting and booking unique experiences for us, booking our dinner reservations, briefing us on the activities on the island each day. Any time we texted him, he would respond or 'magically' appear in front of us if we were anywhere outside in the resort haha! Rajjee helped my fiance plan an unforgettable proposal for me which was undoubtedly the core memory of the trip! He welcomed us with this cute drawing in the room, and in general every single detail was thought through. We received other surprises such as 'She said yes' made out of bamboo on the bed, and a cute painting 'capturing' our proposal. Needless to say, the resort is stunning and has the best beach one could ever imagine, and we had it all to ourselves every day! The resort is super peaceful and quiet- not crowded at all- you only really see people at breakfast, dinner or resort activities. Foodwise, everything we ate was delicious and there was an enormous variation in terms of cuisines and variety! The rooms are the perfect size, and we really loved having our own pool and access to the sea. Everything was clean and pleasant smelling, with a signature lemongrass aroma in most products and spaces. Since I could not cycle, I was given a tricycle by Rajjee so I didn't have to feel left out from the cycling experience!

The experience was absolutely marvelous . They made you feel like home. The service was outstanding and it should said that our GEM was perfect and made possible every wish we had ,from arranging us to get flowers to helping with the wedding proposal. The hotel is very environmentally friendly and very clean. In addition, the food there was some of the best food i’ve ever eaten in a hotel.Thank you very much. We hope to be back soon!

Had the best time at Six Senses Kanuhura! Was a gorgeous property and there were so many unconventional activities to do. Our Guest Experience Manager Sameeh was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to make our stay memorable - From customizing our itinerary each day to finding my lost pair of earrings to accommodating several last minute changes, he left no stone unturned! Would highly recommend. All the staff were super hands on and their service oriented culture was very commendable.
