Six Senses Laamu, Maldives, Maldives, Indian Ocean

They say the most rewarding places are the ones that feel furthest from everyday life. In the case of Six Senses Laamu Resort & Hotel, that could not be more true. Located on Olhuveli Island, it is reached by a 60 minute scenic seaplane transfer, known as the flying turtle. The flight is just the beginning of the adventure, delivering you to the only resort in the Laamu Atoll, where the sense of discovery is as unforgettable as the island itself. When you arrive, it is a heavenly mix of powder-white sands, cobalt-blue waters, lush vegetation and, above all else, exquisite seclusion.

Life here deserves to be savoured slowly. A leisurely pedal around the sandy pathways on your own personalised bike is about as strenuous as it gets. Six Senses Laamu is a paradise escape, whether you are a couple or a family, with a strong sustainable focus that ensures its natural treasures are preserved for generations to come. From conserving its house reef to growing produce in its organic garden, sustainability shapes daily life, while the new SHELL (Sea Hub of Environmental Learning in Laamu) invites guests to connect with its marine projects first hand.

After your stay, you will agree it is an idyll well worth preserving. And after gazing at a night sky filled with stars or being hypnotised by the sound of gentle wavelets, you will be utterly convinced there are few places in the world quite like Six Senses Laamu.
