Six Senses Laamu

Hotel details

The Six Senses Laamu resort on Olhuveli Island offers an ultra-chic blend of luxurious exclusivity with an eco-friendly beach holiday just metres from the ocean shore. The privately-owned island is situated in the Laamu Atoll, towards the south of the Maldives archipelago.

The resort offers 97 luxury villas and suites that have been elegantly designed and feature materials that blend effortlessly into the natural surroundings. Modern touches include outdoor rain showers, private sun decks, beach-access gardens and sunken glass baths that allow guests fascinating ocean views while bathing.

Dining facilities cater for every taste, from a romantic dinner at the sophisticated Leaf restaurant, to the freshest of lunches at the LEAF, fine dining restaurant over the organic garden. Children can mull a choice of over 40 flavours of home-made ice cream at the ice café, whilst parents can select a fine wine from the glass wine cellar tower, Altitude, rising six metres out of the ocean, where flying waiters are on hand to pick out your chosen vintage.

Boredom is an unknown concept at Laamu: the resort offers visitors a myriad of activities from traditional water sports including surfing, diving, snorkelling, canoeing and fishing through to cooking classes and a variety of seductive treatments at the Six Senses spa and gymnasium.

And without doubt the perfect way to end a perfect day here must include watching the breathtakingly-beautiful sunset fall over the Laamu Atoll, before visiting the open-air cinema on the beach, lit only by the glittering stars.
