This must be paradise! Our holiday at Six Sense Laamu exceeded all our expectations. A wonderful place with very friendly and attentive staff. The only criticism goes to Expedia, which incorrectly stated the transfer costs to be paid on site from the airport to the island. Maybe it's better to book your vacation directly with Six Sense to avoid this kind of surprise!
Amazing in all respects! The island is paradise. The service is outstanding. The dining quality is excellent (although they do need to improve on the Asian cuisine). Dedication to sustainability is outstanding. Complimentary home made ice creams (with 48 flavours) on offer all day. We loved our time here. Extremely special.

The Six Senses Laamu is absolutely perfect!
The service, the food and the stuff that just got every little detail on point.
Prepare to pay more than you stay rate for extras though but it’s totally worth it! Will definitely come back here.
Excellent villas and public areas. Friendly and very helpful staff. Attention to small details. We felt very pampered... The highlight was the snorkeling - amazing number of fish on the house reef right in front of the restaurants. Don’t miss this!
From start to finish it was fantastic, you're allocated a guest experience manager on arrival who will support you with activities and restaurant bookings. 10/15 minutes from amazing reefs for snorkelling and the food is fantastic.
We wanted to stay longer, but didn't like the idea of multiple PCR tests. We're already thinking about when we can go back.
All the team at six sense laamu are amazing and super friendly. The over water rooms are beautiful. The food is wonderful. We especially loved the beach side lobster dinner and the Asian market dinner on the beach. The surf team is extremely helpful navigating the waves and the spa/massage team were incredible as well. We would definitely go back again and again!
Fantastic place...lots to do and the staff are possibly the friendliest I have ever seen anywhere on the globe. Food is fantastic. Rooms are stunning and the whole place is superbly well organised and runs like clockwork.
Great experience from start to finish! Get a laamu pool overwater bungalow- its worth every penny! Our GEM Afrah was incredible and really made the trip extra special. All the staff for the most part were great and all go above and beyond to help you, and make sure you have everything you need. Only 2 cons I can think of: The WiFi isn’t great and would have liked a few more activity options that weren’t additional fees but other than that the trip was an A all around.
The resort itself was gorgeous with main public facilities built over the water. The villa was tastefully designed with minimalist and built using eco friendly materials. Service was great and not overwhelming. The best thing is they have an ice cream parlour offer 42 types of ice cream all day. Hit the front desk and ask for their daily activities, such as watching a cinema in the night set on the beach. I would definitely go back again!
The diving was exceptional, both in terms of the dive sites (probably the best in Asia if not the world) and the dive staff (notably Danny, Steven and Nicole, all of whom were exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful and friendly). We stayed in two overwater villas, which were wonderful, very nice inside and could snorkel directly from the outdoor tanning area. Our Guest Experience Manager (Shifu) was very friendly, helpful and conscientious. Overall we had a great time!
One of the most beautiful spots on earth. From the noise of the waves lapping around underneath the villa to the constant wildlife swimming up to our deck and the most stunning sunsets I think this place is as close to paradise as it gets. We have stayed in 5 six senses resorts but this one is head and shoulders above the others. Only word of warning is the prices while you are at the resort are very high, that said you are in the middle of the ocean!
When you arrive they give you a shoe bag to store your shoes and you can walk around barefoot for the rest of the time you are there. It pretty well sets the tone for a relaxing barefoot kick your shoes off feeling. They also assign you a Guest Experience Manager I think that’s what they called them but they refer to them as gems pronounced guem but we had Alex and she was a real gem with a soft g. We met many people who returned frequently which is really not surprising! The food is great! Highly recommend! I am a diver and the diving staff is top notch. There are manta rays I did not get to see conditions to choppy the day I went out. The visibility on the days I was there was not as good as when I have been more north in the Maldives but I have no idea if it was just temporary currents or normal for the area. We took a Dolphin cruise saw many dolphins had Ricky as our guide and it was a great family time!
This is one of the larger resorts in the Maldives but is still very intimate. There are a total of 95-100 villas on the island & we never felt the slightest bit crowded. The food & staff were outstanding but the prices are high. We had breakfast included which was wonderful but for lunch/dinner expect to pay $50 per person...not including drinks. Cocktails averaged close to $20/each after they add tax & gratuity. All that being said, the food was outstanding & one bartender in particular would create cocktails specially for me. His name was Linu. It was one of the most relaxing vacations my wife or i have ever experienced.
although we had booked on full board, even water was charges at meal times!
secondly, we should have been told about domestic flights. we could have done the booking ourselves, whereas, the resort offered to book us ( we do not know the name of the airport), thus overcharging us.
It has been truly the most wonderful hotel I have ever stayed in. I have been in Maldives 4 times already to different resorts like Per Aquum Niyama, Huvafen Fushi, One and Only, Anantara, believe me, no one compares with Six Senses. Is better even than Six Senses Seychelles, where I have been last year.
All the staff is extremely friendly and polite, smiling all day long and trying to make your stay just perfect. Our GEM ShifuNo it just does what does it go up was the best GEM we ever had, she took care of all our needs.
One of the things that makes this hotel so special are: the care for the environment, the location, best snorkeling house reef, a lot of interesting complimentary activities such as Star gazing or sunset yoga with several doctors around the world and the concept of barefoot all around the resort. We just loved every thing about this places and we will never try different hotel in Maldives.
Simply amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Maldives.
Is a slightly longer trip to get to compared to other top end resorts, but well worth the extra travel time.
Our GEM Najar went above and beyond and was amazing!!
All three of our visits have been great. We rode our bicycles around the island many times. We enjoyed the yoga classes and massages. The buffet breakfast was extra special. 42 kinds of ice cream and sorbets are offered each day for free.
AMAZING!!! Best place on earth to relax and "dis-connect" from busy modern life!! We were barefoot and pampered for one fabulous week we will never forget! This is the place to just "be" with your loved one(s) and the beauty of nature around you. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful at every turn and our GEM, Sato, took care of our every need. And if endless blue ocean and sky aren't relaxing enough, the spa is a retreat for the soul. We stayed in an over the water villa with an outdoor shower and total privacy. The food was fantastic, especially the amazing breakfast buffet. Can't wait to go back!!
