Amazing in all respects! The island is paradise. The service is outstanding. The dining quality is excellent (although they do need to improve on the Asian cuisine). Dedication to sustainability is outstanding. Complimentary home made ice creams (with 48 flavours) on offer all day. We loved our time here. Extremely special.

Absolutely perfect!
The Six Senses Laamu is absolutely perfect! The service, the food and the stuff that just got every little detail on point. Prepare to pay more than you stay rate for extras though but it’s totally worth it! Will definitely come back here.

Excellent villas and public areas. Friendly and very helpful staff. Attention to small details. We felt very pampered... The highlight was the snorkeling - amazing number of fish on the house reef right in front of the restaurants. Don’t miss this!

From start to finish it was fantastic, you're allocated a guest experience manager on arrival who will support you with activities and restaurant bookings. 10/15 minutes from amazing reefs for snorkelling and the food is fantastic. We wanted to stay longer, but didn't like the idea of multiple PCR tests. We're already thinking about when we can go back.

All the team at six sense laamu are amazing and super friendly. The over water rooms are beautiful. The food is wonderful. We especially loved the beach side lobster dinner and the Asian market dinner on the beach. The surf team is extremely helpful navigating the waves and the spa/massage team were incredible as well. We would definitely go back again and again!

Great experience from start to finish! Get a laamu pool overwater bungalow- its worth every penny! Our GEM Afrah was incredible and really made the trip extra special. All the staff for the most part were great and all go above and beyond to help you, and make sure you have everything you need. Only 2 cons I can think of: The WiFi isn’t great and would have liked a few more activity options that weren’t additional fees but other than that the trip was an A all around.

Gorgeous property!
The resort itself was gorgeous with main public facilities built over the water. The villa was tastefully designed with minimalist and built using eco friendly materials. Service was great and not overwhelming. The best thing is they have an ice cream parlour offer 42 types of ice cream all day. Hit the front desk and ask for their daily activities, such as watching a cinema in the night set on the beach. I would definitely go back again!

The diving was exceptional, both in terms of the dive sites (probably the best in Asia if not the world) and the dive staff (notably Danny, Steven and Nicole, all of whom were exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful and friendly). We stayed in two overwater villas, which were wonderful, very nice inside and could snorkel directly from the outdoor tanning area. Our Guest Experience Manager (Shifu) was very friendly, helpful and conscientious. Overall we had a great time!

Too beautiful for words
One of the most beautiful spots on earth. From the noise of the waves lapping around underneath the villa to the constant wildlife swimming up to our deck and the most stunning sunsets I think this place is as close to paradise as it gets. We have stayed in 5 six senses resorts but this one is head and shoulders above the others. Only word of warning is the prices while you are at the resort are very high, that said you are in the middle of the ocean!

All around wonderful experience!
When you arrive they give you a shoe bag to store your shoes and you can walk around barefoot for the rest of the time you are there. It pretty well sets the tone for a relaxing barefoot kick your shoes off feeling. They also assign you a Guest Experience Manager I think that’s what they called them but they refer to them as gems pronounced guem but we had Alex and she was a real gem with a soft g. We met many people who returned frequently which is really not surprising! The food is great! Highly recommend! I am a diver and the diving staff is top notch. There are manta rays I did not get to see conditions to choppy the day I went out. The visibility on the days I was there was not as good as when I have been more north in the Maldives but I have no idea if it was just temporary currents or normal for the area. We took a Dolphin cruise saw many dolphins had Ricky as our guide and it was a great family time!

This is one of the larger resorts in the Maldives but is still very intimate. There are a total of 95-100 villas on the island & we never felt the slightest bit crowded. The food & staff were outstanding but the prices are high. We had breakfast included which was wonderful but for lunch/dinner expect to pay $50 per person...not including drinks. Cocktails averaged close to $20/each after they add tax & gratuity. All that being said, the food was outstanding & one bartender in particular would create cocktails specially for me. His name was Linu. It was one of the most relaxing vacations my wife or i have ever experienced.
