At a glance
Six Senses Laamu is the only five-star resort in the Laamu Atoll, on Olhuveli Island deep in the southern Indian Ocean, 65 minutes by seaplane from Male International Airport.
94 overwater and beachfront villas are constructed from sustainable and locally sourced materials, with a no-news, no-shoes design philosophy running throughout. The resort holds one of the largest overwater facilities in the Maldives, spanning four restaurants, a wine cellar, ice cream parlor, dive centre, and signature bar connected by walkways above the lagoon.
Dolphins are a constant presence along the island’s shores, the house reef delivers some of the least-disturbed diving in the country due to the atoll’s remoteness, and the surf break Ying Yang breaks eight feet off the palm-fringed coastline.
A dedicated Guest Experience Manager handles every guest’s stay from arrival to departure.
