The Reasons To Go

Being the only resort in the Laamu Atoll, exclusive and pristine, untouched natural beauty is abundant around the resort. Whether snorkeling or diving on one of the atoll’s diverse coral reefs, surfing one of the local, uncrowded breaks, or island hopping between uninhabited, palm-fringed sandbanks, here you can be rest assured that privacy and serenity are restored
Six Senses Laamu produces as much as possible onsite in order to reduce emissions from long-distance transport, they also work towards zero-waste operations by recycling materials into new, useful products.
The resort Sustainability Manager works with all departments on how the team can be more efficient, less wasteful, and in the long run achieve greater cost savings. Join the sustainability team at 10:30 am Sunday to Friday for a Back of House tour to learn more about the sustainability initiatives.
Surf’s up! May to September is the season for the best waves, and the famous Yin Yang surf break is just ten minutes away from the resort. Tropicsurf organizes boat trips daily, as well as lessons on our island’s own break, paddling distance from the Surf Shack at Sip Sip Beach.

The Nitty Gritty

Accommodation:
Six Senses Laamu has 97 spacious thatched villas, all carefully designed to harmonize with the outstanding natural beauty of the island. They offer privacy, cosiness and every comfort. True to the Six Senses’ philosophy of being in harmony with the environment, the villas are crafted from local and sustainable materials. Both water and on-land villas are available with the ability to host from 2 up to 6 guests
Location:
The resort is located in a remote corner of a southern atoll of Laamu in the Maldives, just 5 degrees north of the equator.
Getting there:
To reach this aqua utopia, take a 35-minute inter-island plane trip from the Maldives International Airport of Malé, followed by a 20-minute speedboat ride. The resort will be able to handle all your inter-island flights and will also meet you at Malé to point you in the right direction.
What to pack:
Please try not to bring any single-use plastic to the island and refrain from wrapping your luggage. The team ask that any duty free bags, plastic bottles, batteries, or other waste you produce during your stay is taken home with you where you can properly recycle them. The resort practices bare foot luxury, so feel free to leave your fancy shoes at home! If you can spare some room in your luggage, the team would also be grateful if you brought one of these items to Laamu to donate to a local child:
- Stainless steel reusable water bottles
- Cloth or canvas reusable bags
- Snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, fins, goggles)
- Marine books in English
Restaurants:
There are six dining options at Six Senses Laamu ranging from casual dining at Sip Sip and The Ice Cream Studio to Chill Bar and all-day-dining at Longitude.

Six Senses Laamu Spa offers nine private treatment nests, either with an ocean view or tucked away in the lush nature that surrounds them.

Visiting practitioners come by regularly and offer lifestyle consultations, using the results of non-invasive health screenings to craft a specialised holistic wellness program for each individual.

Children younger than 4 years are always welcome with their parents, guardian or babysitter. Den activities vary between water play, outdoor play, indoor play and arts and crafts. The children will have the opportunity to swim in the clear blue waters, build sand castles, climb ropes, swing from a monkey bar, play football, cricket or even frisbee throwing when they are outdoors. There are outdoor games like hide-and-seek, pizza ball, pyramids and water relay to name a few. The Den also has a Book Zone, (to chill out) a Yum Zone (for a quick snack), an Expression Zone (to show what children have done), Cinema Zone, (to watch a movie) an Art and Craft Zone (to bring out the creativity of the children) and a Sleep Zone (to snooze after a long day of enjoyment).
The Junior Marine Biology program is a must do for all budding conservationists aged 6 to 16. The first of its kind in the Maldives, the program pairs one-on-one mentoring from the 10 Maldives Underwater Initiative (MUI) marine biologists with a “choose your own adventure” structure that allows the junior marine biologists to design their own personalized program. Highlights include snorkel surveys to search for megafauna, turtle identification and creating your own nature documentary.

The Weather

High season is from November to April but all year round the reefs feature very healthy hard corals, colorful reef fish, hawksbill and green turtles, reef sharks and eagle rays. Spinner and bottlenose dolphins are commonly spotted at sea during the dolphin cruise and from the resort. Divers and snorkelers can also encounter manta rays throughout the year.

Surf season: Surf lessons and surf trips are available on a regular basis at our Surf Shop. Hosts are available at any time to book surf lessons or a surfing trip to the consistent waves of our famous Yin Yang break.
