Travelling in these times is already a treat, but when you combine it with a stay at an outstanding resort like Six Senses Laamu, it is even more so! There is a big push for environmental sustainability that you can feel across the operation. We were also lucky to witness a nest of turtles hatching right on the beach in front of the villas. One of the highlights is the excellent F&B offering and particularly, Zen and Leaf restaurants are exceptional with original and tantalizing menus where we had memorable dinners. The beach villa had all the necessary facilities and housekeeping was spotless. Ali, our Guest Experience Manager was always one step ahead in anticipating our needs and the rest of the hosts were all charming and always ready to help.
Six Senses Laamu is just HEAVEN ON EARTH! I can't even begin to put into words how amazing the resort is, from the interiors, idyllic scenery, food and staff. We have only been home for 1 night, and I am already counting down the days until we are back! The staff are what really make this resort exceptional, we have made friends for life and there were even some tears upon departure! I just want to say a special thanks to our GEM (guest experience maker) Daniel, who made our stay very memorable. Apart from dealing with my day to day requests, Daniel also organised for my fiance to play football several times with hotel staff which was a major highlight to his trip. @Dani - if you see this, we miss you dearly and it wont be the last time that we cross paths I am sure, you are very special!!! DJ Des (the in house DJ), an absolute legend - thank you for keeping us entertained at all times! We have made a friend for life and will link up with you in Spain! There are also so many other special people we met who made our stay exceptional, Warren, CJ, Kaatu, Mina, Rye, Maduka, Abdulla (GEM) are just a few of the names, we love you all!! Until we meet again... Lots of love! Amy Daniels & Tom Archer xxx…
A long awaited dream come true. A visit to the Maldives in an over water villa like you see in every brochure and commercial on paradise. Anxious to see if it would live up to our expectations, we were amazed to experience our visit to Six Senses Laamu exceeded every one of them. Marteyne and her staff, stuck on the island for six months or so (covid prevention) gave us a very warm welcome and were so hospitable and friendly throughout our stay. Our GEM Ali was very helpful, showing us around, helping with reservations and getting the most out of our stay. Such a very nice person. Shifam our room attendant took excellent care of our villa. The people of the diving school with very knowledgeable instructors (Valerio and Hisham thank you) and the people of the Manta Trust, Jasmine in particular were great fun to dive with and shown us the most beautiful world beneath the waves. But where were the manta's;)? The Zen and Leaf restaurants were of Michelin quality with lots of local produce, fresh fish and great service. The buffets, the lobster dinner on the beach, the breakfast, everything was delicious and well organised. We were struck by the plentiful marine live just under our terrace, with daily visits of sea turtles and rays, thanks to the abundance of seagrass which is preserved in the laguna. Thank you very much for making us feel at home in paradise. PS don't believe the weather forecasts. It may rain but not as much and still it's the most beautiful place you've been.…
travel during covid can be stressful especially with an almost 3 year old, however, Marteyne and team helped remove any initial reservations we had before we arrived and were really responsive with all of the queries we had. We were met at Male and had a really easy transfer to Six Senese despite the torrential downpour when we arrived! Our ocean beach villa with pool was fantastic, views to the ocean to die for and the “no shoes no news” beach chic vibe is exactly what we wanted after our previous visit to Gili Lankanfushi. Our GEM Ali was absolutely fantastic, laid back but uber responsive a true gentlemen. We needed up staying another night and this was all sorted seamlessly and Ali was always there when needed - I hope if we are lucky enough to return he is our GEM again. The gentlemen who looked after our Villla, cleaning and turn down was called Asif. He is a true credit to the organisation- smiley, happy interactive and great at his job, our son loved both Ali and Asif. All of the staff at the pool bar and chill bar (apologies I don’t recall names) were really excellent and interactive with our son which was lovely and important to us. We didn’t use the kids club much, however, Zahee did take our son to make a fruit salad and to feed the chickens - she was fantastic with kids ams i’m sure when he’s a little older he will stay there all day! The list of activities was really amazing. Jo, who ran the sea grass snorkelling trip was great as were the other teams that took us on the dolphin cruise and out to the other snorkel sites. one amazing highlight was the turtle hatching that we were truly lucky to see. The villa was well appointed and having stayed at six senses in yao noi a couple of times we knew what to expect. The little touches like after sun shampoo and conditioner are really nice as is the outside shower that was such a relaxing start to the day. The kids food was amazing - no matter where we were we could order what he wanted even if not on the menu - something that was very much appreciated. Our dinners whether in villa, at chill bar or Zen or Leaf were all absolutely delicious. Overall, the fact that the GM Marteyne has been at this property for so long shows - it’s a really well run seamless property that if you like the rustic style should suit you well. We had such a great time this week back at work has been tough so we’ve been looking at booking again for this summer....…
My husband and I went here for 10 days for our honeymoon and had an unforgettable celebration. My gem Edith made everything possible for us, hassle-free days, dinner bookings and activities in short granted every wish we had! Our overwater villa is simply amazing, we’re in the mid of choosing to go outside or stay in the villa the whole time, this place is just perfect, escaping from the chaos of the world. It was quiet, peaceful and yet romantic. The most magical moment for us, seeing the dusk settled over the ocean at chill bar. Could be nicer if a nice music is on, a little bit of contemporary sound to tone with the moment. I am sure for those looking for a romantic and relaxing break without frills you’ll definitely enjoy this resort. Two thumbs up!!!! We’ll be back!!!
