Six Senses Laamu

Understated but holistically complete. Six Senses Laamu doesn’t try to dazzle with fancy Architecture, its presence it’s more about the basics done well and the appreciation of the beautiful nature within which the resort is set. The most unique and charming asset the resort has is its staff, who make this destination stand out amongst others we have visited in the Maldives. The snorkeling is superb due to the best house reef we have ever experienced— and their GEMs (guest experience managers) truly set the this resort apart. Our GEM, Mr Bruce Wayne elevated our experience with his constant attention and proactive thinking which allowed us to relax and enjoy all that the resort had to offer (The surfing and surfing guides from Tropicsurf based on the resort where also Top class!)

This is an important review. I lived in the Maldives for 1.5 years about 27 years ago and always thought the coral reefs had been damaged so badly by the bleaching that I would not find one teaming with life now. I was wrong. Six Senses Laamu has the best house reef teaming with fish life, live coral and just incredible beauty everywhere and all this just 4 meters from the jetty. They have also brought back the sea grass between the water villas and this is home to beautiful turtles, stinger and sharks. It is incredible. The food is superb and the entire team make what is a complex system on an island where everything is imported look seamless. The Teppanyaki is well worth a visit for a fun night. This is all important but for me what makes Laamu stand out is the way the team interact with each other and the guests. They are a family and you feel it everywhere. I saw all the guests wandering to breakfast chatting away with someone on the team. You become part of the gang on the island and that is such a wonderful feeling. I am usually a beach villa fab but here I loved the water villas. The pillow menu, showering over the sea, the lazy afternoons on the deck were all brilliant. Out GEM Abdulla was just brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. Tan who hosted us from the sales team was utterly joyous and full of energy and passion for the island. I did a sunrise swim with her and Ihaka, the director of Culinary on island. This is what I mean by being brought into the "Laamu family". Freddie, the resort manager somehow manages to run the tightest ship with charm and humour and you can tell the team like him. A special shout out to Abby who took us snorkelling and to a superb deserted island for lunch. Hard to say you have a favourite island in The Maldives but this is right up there and epic house reef for anyone looking for underwater joy! I LOVED IT!!!!! Thank you to the best team. x

Just back from the most amazing stay at Six Senses Laamu where the team couldn't do enough to make our stay one of the best. We dined like royalty on the beach, swam like fishes in the sea and slept like a dream in the villas! Laamu is such a special place. The work that is going on in terms of the coral restoration is mind blowing and so forward thinking, and the sustainability programme that is in place on the island is another level.

Recently I visited there with my family. from the moment we stepped into Six Senses Laamu, I knew I was in for something special. Nestled on a private beach with stunning views of the turquoise sea, this resort is the definition of tropical luxury. The check-in process was seamless, and we were welcomed with cool towels and a refreshing lemonade—such a thoughtful touch after a long journey. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Our experience was made exceptionally enjoyable thanks to the outstanding service provided by our GEM, Bruce who attended to every detail with warmth, and professionalism. Our villa was absolutely breathtaking. Spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, it had a private plunge pool and a cozy deck that opened straight onto the beach. Waking up to the sound of waves and birds was pure magic. What really stood out was the food. From fresh seafood to international cuisine, every dish at their on-site restaurants was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Breakfast was especially impressive, with a wide variety of local and international options served in a lush garden setting. The activities were a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation—snorkeling with the team in the amazing coral reef surrounded over the resort, the sunset view from the beach, and resort tour that ensured your hospitality services were extremely eco-friendly, was truly a magical experience. We truly didn’t want to leave. Six Senses Laamu resort as they offer a flawless blend of comfort, elegance, and natural beauty. Whether you’re on a honeymoon, a family trip, or a solo retreat, this place is a slice of paradise.

I’d always dreamed of staying at Six Senses, and the experience exceeded all my expectations—impeccable service, amazing food, our personal host during our stay made it even more special. The perfect start to our honeymoon—hope to come back one day!
