Laamu Atoll · The Maldives
The only luxury resort in remote Laamu Atoll, among dolphins and living reefs
Overwater villas
A natural island resort in the southern Maldives, its water and beach villas built from local, sustainable materials. Swim with turtles and manta rays, take part in reef conservation, and end the day at a spa built on Ayurveda and deep sleep.
Could this be the palm-fringed island you have been picturing? It is the only five-star luxury resort in remote Laamu Atoll in the southern Maldives, a short domestic flight and a speedboat ride from Malé. There are villas over the water and on land, dolphins in the warm blue sea, and restaurants that mix Eastern and Western cooking. A natural resort in every sense.
The Maldives has a way of winning people over. From romance and celebration to underwater adventure and family time on the waves, Six Senses Laamu brings back the wonder of travel.
Swim beside turtles, manta rays and reef fish, set off on a culinary adventure of fresh and inventive flavours, or slow down at the spa. The story here is yours to write.
When the moon is right, the house reef lights up with one of nature's great events: coral spawning. Meet Coco, the reef's coral keeper, and Afaz, keeper of the groupers, and find out how you can join the marine conservation work.
Can a plant-based meal be the best meal of all? Chef Ravi took up the challenge and created a healthy menu, Blue Zone, with energy in every bite.
Choose sea breezes in a villa over the water, or quiet among tropical trees in a villa on the beach. Each one is built from natural materials, with generous space and complete privacy.
The resort has 94 villas, from beach villas to overwater villas and pool villas, designed to sit easily in the island's landscape. They are private and comfortable, and reflect the Six Senses approach to living with the environment: they were built from local, sustainable materials.
Accommodation
Dining
Inspired cooking with a light touch. The chefs take their cue from every corner of the island, from the organic gardens to the sea next door. Seasonal produce is the starting point for lively, precise menus of Maldivian and international dishes, each restaurant with its own setting. The belief is simple: food worth remembering tastes wonderful, looks good, does you good and leaves as small a footprint as possible.
