Six Senses Laamu

Sumptuous sustainability
Maldives
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Six Senses Laamu is the definition of Maldives indulgence.

Lavish accommodation, sustainable living, serene snorkelling… and surfing too. Boasting an enviable location in a virtually unexplored atoll, the Six Senses Laamu manages to feel like the ultimate in indulgence whilst remaining dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of its remote location.

The sophisticated yet simple eco-friendly villas are located either on the beachfront or over the water. There are quirky touches, such as the sunken glass bathtub in the Lagoon Water Villa. Dining options range from catch-of-the-day to Japanese fusion, and an ice cream and chocolate studio (yes really!). Close by are the pampering spa and jumping off points for snorkelling, diving, water sports, and the many other exciting and indulgent activities on offer.

Location & Highlights

Getting to the Six Senses on Olhuveli Island takes a little extra travel time, but it’s worth it. A 35-minute flight from Male to Laamu’s Kadhdhoo Airport, followed by a 15-minute zip by speedboat to the resort.

Why we love it

“We are so glad we picked the Six Senses Laamu for our honeymoon - it was incredible. A special thank you to our Guest Experience Manager.”

Spa lounge at Six Senses Laamu

If the Six Senses itself isn’t relaxing enough, retire to one of the spa’s nine uniquely designed treatment ‘nests’ dotted on the beach or hidden in the jungle. This is no run of the mill massage, with unique signature treatments based around Ayurvedic traditions, the freshest local ingredients, and the waves gently lapping against the shore as your soothing soundtrack.

In-depth eco education

Six Senses are justifiably proud of their eco-credentials, and have designed a number of complimentary tours to reflect this. A fascinating couple of hours will get you behind the scenes at the organic gardens and into the ‘Heart of House’ to see the resort’s environmental processes first hand. Evening presentations by the resident marine biologists are great for improving your knowledge of marine life and conservation.

What can you do there?

Family snorkeling

Enjoy classic Maldives excursions one at a time, or combine several with Six Senses style. ‘Reconnect with Nature’ combines guided snorkelling with a marine biologist, a workshop involving a conservation task (such as identifying turtles with the Olive Ridley Foundation), a boat trip to see the local dolphins, and a dinner of sustainably-caught fish. Surf’s up from April to October, with surf lessons in the lagoon and trips to catch the waves of the famous Yin Yang break.

Selective Asia is more than a booking agency...

When a museum sent its exhibits overseas on tour, they learned about this before our departure and steered another to another site. When a hotel that we had booked scheduled a noisy wedding for the period of our occupancy, they were able to identify a fantastic hotel without noise before our arrival. I am not sure that any other tour operator would provide such detail in follow up, even after the tour was booked and paid for.

David Kosh, Vietnam

Holiday of a lifetime

The planning of the holiday and the ongoing support was excellent. The organisation on the ground when we got there was perfect and the local guides were knowledgeable and very personable. We would definitely go with Selective Asia again.

Gillian Baker, Komodo & Borneo

Brilliant! Selective Asia covered every detail.

Travel, hotels, guides, and excursions all flawlessly executed. Selective Asia listened to our requirements and worked with us to refine a great holiday.

Tim Goodman, Thailand

Our trip was outstanding...

We had had several discussions with Andrew before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in, plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again.

Heather, Japan

A magical trip

Great planning and organisation, coupled with an amazing experience with the local guide and driver. Everything about the holiday was magical.

A great trip

We had an excellent holiday with an itinerary carefully arranged by Dave to suit our preferences. This is the third time we've travelled with Selective Asia and we will happily do so again in the future. We like the fact that they are a small company, passionate about what they do and committed to responsible travel.
