Six Senses Resort in Laamu, Maldives

A virgin island. Powdered sand. Palm trees. Crystal clear turquoise water. 

It is the only resort in Laamu Atoll, just five degrees north of the Equator.

Dolphins swim and spin all along the seashell dappled shores of Six Senses Laamu

Surf Yin Yang, one of the Maldives’ most famous waves, that breaks just offshore

Built of weathered woods and nestled among shoreline mangroves or perched above the Indian Ocean, Six Senses Laamu’s 97 expansive one and two bedroom villas make minimal impact on the pristine environment while maximizing every possible pleasure. Design details that evoke the golden age of exploration conceal modern technologies.

Sea breezes drift among the rustic woods under high palm roofs at Laamu’s six bars and restaurants, most set over water. Edible memories at each are enhanced by exquisite tropical vistas, from pulsating equatorial sunrises above translucent turquoise waters to romantic rose coloured sunsets into the inky evening sea.
