Absolutely amazing week at Six Senses Laamu. There is a terrific balance between what is clearly a luxury resort (superb food, ice cream on tap, spacious and well-appointed accommodation, concierge service) with a focus on its natural environment and demonstrable efforts on sustainability and conservation (house reef and seagrass meadows, SHELL hub, EarthLab and sustainability tour of “back office”, integration with local economy). This is reflected top to bottom by the hosts through their tangible vision and values. All the hosts made it feel very personal without being at all pushy. A special mention to Fahudh (our GEM concierge), Levan (excellent waiter and great sense of humour), Kokky (knowledgeable about all facets of the resort, crafts, and sustainability), Summer (expert on manta rays and conservation, even the difficult questions), Michael (rising chef talent and sugar cane presser extraordinaire), and Sophia (chief chocolatier whose passion surpassed our own). Finally, do not be put off by the season - 28 degrees consistently with the odd rain shower with lower occupancy rates is very comfortable. Just leave all your shoes and cares at home!

We were a party of five, including three late teens/early 20s and were looked after by the wonderful Janko. The whole experience is incredible - it really is barefoot luxury and the members of staff are very friendly. Highly recommend the sunset fishing trip - we were lucky enough to make a few catches and had them for lunch the following day. The diving and snorkelling are out of this world - pristine coral and turtles, rays, many many fish - just so much to see. The food is also great - leaf is terrific and the shawarma wrap by sip sip is worth a try for lunch! If you get the chance, the tepals at Kaji is also superb - we did not stop being both highly entertained and well fed by Iko! We had a rainy afternoon activity and tried cocktail making - the head cocktail maker is unbelievable- makes his own infusions and syrups and will happily make you anything and suggest things to try. He was just lovely. The general manager had some special guests in and didn’t really mix, but that did not take away from the exceptional service elsewhere. Janko as our GEM could not have been more accommodating or helpful - he was the icing on the cake and we are delighted to have met him and had him join us on a couple of our excursions. Special place.

Phenomenal family resort, with excellent snorkeling and diving. The team at TropicSurf is second to none, with access to great advanced waves as well as perfect beginner waves the whole family can enjoy. Between the epic food and amenities, six senses is a must for all waterman families looking to travel to the Maldives. -chris
