Overview

Six Senses Laamu is an exclusive luxury resort located in the picturesque Laamu Atoll, after which it’s named. In fact, it’s the only resort in the whole atoll. This highly eco-friendly and sustainable property is one of the Maldives’ newest offerings and is contemporary in pretty much every aspect. To reach the resort, guests undertake a short seaplane ride from Male, followed by a short boat journey.

When it comes to deciding on accommodation, there are a total of 10 options to choose from. There are villas set within the island’s tropical forest, as well as some dotted along the beachfront and others perched over the lagoon’s crystal-clear blue waters. All are stylish and sophisticated, yet comfortable at the same time. Space is plentiful, as are amenities, with all villas providing the full range of creature comforts. Some of the amenities common to all types of accommodation include air conditioning, a private open-air bathtub and separate shower, a 37-inch flat-screen TV with a range of satellite channels and tea and coffee making facilities.

The resort offers a broad range of dining experiences, with a total of six places to eat and drink, most of which are set over the water. Zen offers delectable Japanese dishes that are prepared out in the open, while Longitude is an over-the-water restaurant set over two floors, with a menu featuring international cuisine and lots of Asian classics. The resort’s signature restaurant is Leaf, where imaginative meals are freshly prepared using locally sourced ingredients. Sip Sip serves poolside drinks and light snacks, while the Chill Bar is the place to relax and enjoy the sunset. Finally there’s Ice & Chocolate Studio, offering over 40 ice-cream flavours and a great selection of chocolates.

The beachside spa boasts superb ocean views and is ideal for those looking to unwind - there are even treatments designed especially for families. Diving opportunities are plentiful, with many top dive sites in the vicinity, and other water-based activities such as windsurfing, wakeboarding and surfing are on offer. There are also many excursions further afield so that visitors can discover more of Laamu Atoll.

Children are very welcome to stay at the resort and they’re certainly well catered for. The kids club is open to children aged 3-12 and offers a range of fun, stimulating activities, from sand art and face painting, to hide and seek and pasta art. A good number of facilities are available for younger ones throughout the resort, such as a jungle cinema, a ping pong table and bikes available to borrow. Babysitting is available with a day’s notice, although note that there is an additional charge for this service. Parents are reminded to ensure that children are kept under adult supervision at all times.

  • Hi Lisa, We had a fabulous time thank you. The accommodation and other ideation were all terrific - that’s so much for your help. The apartment in Cape Town was particularly good - we would never have found that: Boschendal was great as well and game lodge was superb. Thanks again, Alistair

  • Dear Lisa
    Well, we are back and still buzzing. We have had a marvellous time. The weather helped. We left Manchester in the snow and arrived in Marrakesh at 30 degrees. We were well looked after in the Riad. I'm glad we booked a meal for the first evening - ate it on the roof terrace. We can recommend that. It was delicious. We ate at the Foundouk, as per your recommendation and on the following night we ate at Le Jardin - got lost on the way to it!. We can really recommend Le Jardin.
    The following day we went to Majorelle gardens. Fortunately we had looked it up before we travelled because you have to book in advance online only from Jan 2023. We found our own way to the Medera Ben Yousef and Latifa took us to Bahia Palace - both were stunning.
    The following morning our lovely taxi driver Mohammond collected us to go to the EcoLodge. Yet another Mohammond made us very welcome. Again we ate well! You were right, the pool was freezing, but I can't sit next to water and not get in. Once you're in you forget how cold it is! I wasn't the only person to try the pool.
    Rashid, our guide for our walk collected us. He was brilliant. It was hard work, but worth it. I was determined I would make it. Kevin is fitter than me! The Berber family were lovely. We stopped when we were nearly there to see how rag rugs were made. When we got back Rashid and Mohammond confessed that Mohammond had said to Rashid that he should get us to a road if we got too tired and they would send a taxi (or a mule!) to collect us - or me, but Rashid was sure that I'd be OK. He was right. I think they wondered about these 2 70+ year olds. We can't praise Rashid enough. He had walked over from Imlil in the morning and was going to walk back after he left us.
    Thank you so much for putting our holiday together. We never thought it would be 3 years before we went. We are so glad we persevered. We did wonder what we had let ourselves in for as 2 oldies!
    Fiona and Kevin
