Kanuhura Resort & Spa

We stayed at Kanahura late May, early June and despite the start of the rainy season we had a fabulous time including great weather to relax, dive, windsurf, cat-sailing, snorkel, dolphin tour, shark snorkeling, etc. What a great team around Alicia at Six Senses. Everybody is extremely friendly, caring, considerate and professional, every staff member in its own area of expertise. We felt like in heaven right from arrival. There is really nothing to complain about, just perfect. Thanks also to our Guest Experience Manager Sameeh who looked after us all the time and did a fantastic job.

This was a fantastic experience. The hotel environment was excellent, and the Spanish restaurant is a must-try.

Place is incredibly beautiful, hotel, food everything. Diving centre was exceptional with kids and us adults. Only reason I dropped the points is that- although all staff were friendly and helpful- was because every time we sat down to eat people came to speak to us. Not one, but multiple staff members. We just wanted to eat our food, and we are already overstimulated by trying to feed children, and staff didn’t seem to notice that we just wanted peace and quiet when we ate. On our last day we got a beautiful lobster dinner, and one of the admin ladies came and spoke to us about her home country Mauritius, and I literally finished my food and she was still standing there talking to us- while my husband and I just wanted to enjoy our food and wine before our kids rushed us out. My suggestion to resort- speak to guests while they’re in the pool, the beach, the bar, the ice cream parlor, but let people eat their meals. To me this was the only negative which unfortunately has to be highlighted

Our stay at Six Senses Kanuhura was a truly wonderful experience. Outstanding location and resort, a wonderful team on site, food was good as well as stylish-wise a very distinct beach villa with lovely snorkeling opportunities. We will cut our feedback short: would we recommend this trip to Six Senses Kanuhura to our best friend ? The answer is a definite YES ... which is presumably one of the best evaluations one could provide. Keep up the great service at this wonderful resort & all the best for what is to come !

In a nutshell, “woow” most amazing resort. In detail, I stayed there for 5 nights (3 in a beach villa) and (2 in a water villa) half board package during June. What made all the trip is my gorgeous GEM “guest experience maker” Laina. She was a precious treasury fine gem who checks on me all the day to make sure I have the best stay and schedule ever. Suggesting wonderful activities and really connects with visitors physiology to understand what they like and what they don’t. Very professional and friendly. The villas: they were both equally fantastic and facing sunrise. They refresh the rooms twice a day and surprise you every evening with something on the bar. The housekeeping team are detailed and have their own wonderful touches. Food: there are 4 main restaurants in the island and an additional one in a nearby island as well as fantastic ice cream/sorbet place that serves best quality refreshing cold scoops. All of the restaurants chefs works beautifully in harmony with the resort’s concept of serving food that fills the heart with health. So, all of them are healthy and mostly made from scratch food. Activities: you will never get board! Beside the usual known activities that you may understand from the website (tennis, diving, snorkeling, water-sports, ….etc) there are others that they arrange a schedule for which will never get you board. I didn’t try all of them because I didn’t have enough time to try. I also had a wonderful dive with Alex and saw precious species. Also, had interesting things to learn about marine life with James. The islands: the main island is natural and you may find alot of wonderful sea grass surrounded as well as few swims or maybe just under your villa alot of fish colonies to observe. Most resorts can be not natural or not saving the ecosystem that they are placed at, but this is not one of them so you are going to live in the nature be ready for that. There are other two islands belong to six senses that you can visit one of them complementary and have lunch at. This is not built so you will feel that you belong to nature. The other one I think they do Robinson Crusoe’s experience. All islands are in a magical location and they are 1 hour ahead of Male. Staff: I cannot say enough about how they took care of me from after the luggage collection until the immigration check-in. I even stopped them taking me to the immigration and told them I can handle from here. Lai was a wonderful buddy during this trip and she communicated with everyone to ensure the highest comfort. I stopped thinking from the time I stepped my foot in Male’s airport. Spa: it is a dream. You get into a dream when you get in, even though I have been in more aesthetically beautiful spas around the world, but still the therapists were wonderful and absolute benefits for the body can be noticed after the treatments. Special touches: walking around the island barefoot was healing and the customized bike that was front of my villa with my initials on it made it special. There are other things that you may spot and experience during your stay that will feel special. Art: you may learn multiple artistic things from Ibrahim Saleh who is considered a very specialized artist him and his wife Yumna. Always pass by him to learn new things, you will definitely enjoy it. One of the precious artists in the maldives. Recommendation for improvements: the spa facility cleanliness and decor also it can be more open, water is always included and not being paid, making dinner restaurants starting earlier than 7:00 pm usually in such a trip people enjoy during the day and sleep earlier and having earlier dinners are favorable maybe starting 5:30-6:00 Overall, highly recommended definitely!
