The property

The only resort in its atoll

Laamu is deep south and barely developed — Six Senses is the only resort in the whole atoll, which means the reefs are in a condition you rarely see. The architecture is unpolished timber and thatch on purpose. Maldives Underwater Initiative, run from the island, is among the most credible marine science operations in the country, covering coral, turtles, dolphins and manta. There is a consistent surf break off the resort.

Where you sleep

15 villa categories

Overwater and beach villas in raw timber, most with pools. Which one is right depends on the month and who is travelling — that is the first thing we will ask.

What makes it itself

Why people choose it

  1. 01

    A private beach

    The sand in front of the resort is its own, so the walk from your room to the water crosses nobody else.

  2. 02

    Overwater villas

    Rooms built out over the lagoon, with the water directly beneath the deck — the reason most people come to these islands.

  3. 03

    A full spa

    Treatments on the property — massage, steam room, beauty services, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.

  4. 04

    Diving and snorkelling

    Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.

  5. 05

    A children's club

    Supervised hours for the children, which is the difference between a holiday and a fortnight of childcare with a view.

  6. 06

    Surfing Ying Yangs

    One of the most consistent breaks in the Maldives sits right beside the island, with more a short boat ride away — Tropicsurf guides coach every level.
