Six Senses Laamu

There are two things that make Six Senses Laamu stand out for us; firstly, the fact that they let nature lead, and secondly, the people who work here. There's not a speck of marble or gold to be seen on the island. It's not glitz and glamour, but it is no less luxurious for this. It's beautiful without being tacky. They invest in the things that really matter, like cultivating and protecting the house reef, the sea grass and the marine life. You can attend a free talk on sea turtles while eating free ice-cream (48 flavours, all made on the island), and then do guided snorkelling - again, at no extra cost - and see the turtles you've just learned about. They invest in research, education on sustainability, and clean water for the local islands. It feels as if every penny you spend is being put to good use. Whatever you're interested in, whether that's sea or sports-based activity, relaxation and indulgence at the spa, or interest in the local environment, there are activities to suit you - and for a range of budgets. We enjoyed an incredible couples' massage, a dolphin cruise, aerial yoga, free snorkelling, yoga and gym-based exercise classes. The rest of the time, we lazed at the swim-up bar in the warm pool at Sip Sip, watched sunrises from our villa deck, and sunsets from the beds at Chill Bar. At night, we enjoyed the outdoor cinema from the comfy loungers (yes, we spent a lot of time lying down!) The food quality here is absurd. Even the "normal" buffet-style restaurant is exceptional, managing to offer something for every taste, to the standard you would expect of an a la carte menu. The advance booking restaurants are out of this world, with locally sourced (where possible) menus that change daily - including a plant-based option at Leaf. At each restaurant, the chefs cook most of the food to order in front of you, and are obviously, and justifiably, proud of their work. Care and attention goes into every aspect of the dining experience, from the chefs (who often popped out to say hello and check we were happy), to the attentive waitstaff (who by day 2, all knew our villa number, and most of them remembered our names), to the Head of Department, who remembered where we had eaten on previous days and asked if we'd enjoyed whichever restaurant it was. Every member of staff makes you feel as if you are their favourite customer, and cannot do enough to help you. It really feels as if they love what they do, are proud to work at such an amazing place, and only want to make your day better. Our Guest Experience Maker, Fahudh, was incredible - the most attentive, caring person, and there were many other people who also made our day, every day. To name just a few (and apologies if I butcher the spellings), Sirinivasan, Abdulla, Mafaz, Hawaree. All absolutely exceptional people. We came here for our honeymoon, and have since spent ten years planning our return for our anniversary. We were always going to come back here, there was never a question

Truly one of the most gorgeous hotel resorts you can stay at on the entire planet! Incredible nature, wonderful scenic wildlife, insanely delicious food / restaurants, mind blowing unlimited ice cream, and the best service you will have ever experienced…. You have not lived fully until you have visited Six Senses Laamu…

The service and amenities at Six Senses is nothing shy of top notch. I would highly recommend this exceptional resort to anyone looking to spend time in the Maldives.

It is a perfect location for relax and also if you like sea activities. It is wonderful can see turtles from you village. The hotel has a lot of amenities that you can order. The beach and the pool are fantastic . The staff is so kind and make us very happy. Shah gave us all we need and we apreciate that very much. It was an incredible experience that we will never forget.

We had a fabulous time. Special thanks to Uncle Faudi, our GEM, the hardest working man on the island, and to Kyle at Tropicsurf, thanks to whom I learnt to stand on a surfboard! Loved our time there and spent most of it in the water. Snorkelling is easy off the house reef and between the water villa jetties - saw quite a few turtles and rays. Also did some diving and water-skiing. Hospitality and service were fantastic overall; without Faudi we would have been lost. He made such an effort to keep up with all our requests and always did it with a smile. Food was maybe not as varied as we would have liked but it was of good quality. We had a very relaxing time apart from the desire to be in the water all the time!
