Six Senses Laamu, Maldives

In the sapphire-blue waters surrounding the Six Senses Laamu resort, dolphins, rays and parrotfish wait in welcome. On this tantalising, paradise island, guests enjoy the ultimate in sustainable luxury.

Over the tranquil, clear blue waters, thatched villas are perched, offering stunning views from their wooden decks. With glass over water bathtubs and outdoor rain showers, there's a feeling of being truly close to nature. Beach villas enjoy their own tropical hideaway on the shore. Elegantly and sustainably furnished each villa provides the privacy and comfort needed for a blissful escape.

Dining at Laamu is always a pleasure. Fresh, local and organic produce is brought together with modern, creative flair. Six restaurants and bars demonstrate a love for sharing food, cooked with care, whilst leaving the lightest of environmental footprints. The over water restaurant Longitude offers breakfast feasts and international a la carte evening dining, an extensive buffet and live cooking stations. Leaf focuses on Maldivian-style dishes with an inventive twist, whilst the Japanese cooking stations at Zen create a buzz in this more relaxed setting. The mix of exotic cocktails and resident DJ tunes at the over water venue Chill Bar provides the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the setting sun. The unique sunken bar of Sip Sip keeps guests refreshed by the pool throughout the day.
