Six Senses Laamu

Overall our experience was outstanding. My wife and I went here on our honeymoon and could not have had a better time. Our GEM Riq went above and beyond. I never felt stressed and like I had to really do much. Everything was sorted and anything we needed was provided. The over water villa with pool was just dreamy, and we could order our breakfast in room and enjoy all the sea life just from looking out our villa. The rooms were cleaned twice a day so always felt clean and tidy. The food was excellent, Leaf I had without a doubt the best starter I have ever had. And Kaji the chef was brilliant, excellent food, great humour. Overall I would highly recommend this resort.

Our stay at Six Senses Laamu was nothing short of magical. We spent 8 nights here and it was, without doubt, one of the most special trips. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely looked after. A huge part of that was thanks to Riq, who took care of us throughout our stay. We honestly couldn’t have wished for anyone better. He was incredibly caring, thoughtful and attentive, and he never took no for an answer – no matter what we asked for, he always found a way. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The resort itself is absolutely stunning – beautiful, tranquil and immaculately maintained. Everything is so well looked after and spotlessly clean. Our villa was immaculate, and the attention to detail throughout the resort is exceptional. The staff across the entire resort were outstanding. Every single person we encountered – from management, to the doctor, to the restaurant teams and housekeeping – was kind, gracious, warm and genuinely welcoming. It truly felt like a home away from home. The food was incredible throughout our stay, with a particular mention for Leaf, which was exceptional and one of the standout dining experiences of the trip. A very special mention again to Riq, who also led and coordinated our proposal plans. He helped pull off the surprise flawlessly – everything was perfect, seamless and handled with such care and discretion. It honestly couldn’t have been done any better, and we will always be grateful to him for that. The facilities were amazing, the atmosphere was relaxed yet luxurious, and the overall experience was simply unforgettable. We are so grateful to everyone at Six Senses Laamu for making this such a special and meaningful stay. We’ll be talking about it for years to come – and we can’t wait to return.

Here, luxury equals consistent, excellent quality and attention to detail in everything, total immersion in pristine nature, authentic care of the environment and animals, and an utter lack of pretentiousness. :) My second time at Llamu and even better than the first. I came back to check out SHELL, the new marine biology research, education, and conservation center here at the resort - the only one of its kind in all of Maldives! Such an excellent and worthy addition that I hope will draw future conservation and nature - minded tourists. Because of SHELL ans MUI, I will stay nowhere else in the Maldives. :) The Maldives is typically known as a honeymooning spot, but I came alone to learn about and dive with the animals (you can go with a marine biologist! So cool to dive and hang with some mantas at their cleaning stations with resident marine biologist Summer from MUI - she is so inspiring!). I was initially worried I might get a little bored or be out of sync with all the couples and families. That never happened - met new friends from all over the world (both guests and staff), and after 9 days, still didn’t have enough time to do all the things I wanted to try. My GEM Kim attended to all the logistics and ensured a super smooth and fun stay, despite the fact that she came down with a terrible cold and a sprained ankle. She always checked in to make sure I was having a good time - even when ill - and was super responsive and professional. That is incredible work ethic. Thank you so much, and please take care of your foot! :) Food at all restaurants is healthy, fresh, and top quality. Enjoyed getting to know Ariba, Afari (I saw the sting rays at the Male fish market!) Sushi, Hashim, and many others on the F&B staff. Thank you for the extra, extra strong matcha lattes and always the best seats in the house. :) Hashim, send me the manta pics! Housekeeping made my room cozy and clean everyday. Thank you! Dive team very professional and attentive. Amazing manta encounters that were intimate and sustained - thank you Elena, Danny, Erika, Aronof, and the whole dive team. Massage with the therapist from Bali and Bhutan were world class. Lovely acupuncture treatment with doctor of eastern medicine / spa manger. Just make sure if you do wellness screening, you don’t have coffee, food, exercise, or diving beforehand. This would be my only suggestion. On my last 2 days, I decided to try surfing. I thought my trip could not get better, but it did. SO MUCH FUN. Kyle is an excellent instructor. Patient, attentive, and all around good energy. What a way to end the trip. Thank you to entire team and see you next time! xx

My wife and I spent a week at Six Senses Laamu - safe to say it was the best holiday we've ever been on. The hotel is stunning - the over water villas are incredibly comfortable / well appointed and the common areas and restaurants have beautiful views. Food at Six Sensed Laamu is great - from pizzas and burgers at Sip Sip / Chill bar to teppanyaki at Kaji. Their fine dining restaurant - Leaf - serves an outstanding 3 course menu that changes on a daily basis. Facilities and activities at the hotel are great. The gym is very well kitted out - everything you need for a great workout. The hotel has every water sport you can think of. They put on daily activities including dolphin cruises, guided snorkelling (we lost count of the number of turtles and sharks we saw!), and movies under the stars. The hotel is very focused on sustainability and conservation - they have a research centre on site (staffed by marine biologists) that offers daily tours to guests. The location, food, and facilities are all world class. But what really stood out for us was the service. Everyone at the Six Senses Laamu went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. The staff is friendly, caring, and highly professional. Everyone was brilliant, but to call out a few people: - Riq: our brilliant GEM for the week. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful week, making restaurant bookings for us and suggesting the best activities for us to book. - Ijaz at the Shell who took us on multiple snorkelling tours and a dolphin cruise - Chef Pramod who made my wife homemade chicken curry - Vinod, Hassan, and Havari who made sure all of our meals were fantastic - Sarita who led us through the most relaxing sunset yoga class We will definitely be visiting the Six Senses Laamu again!
