In love with Six Senses Lamu
One of the best experiences of our lives. From our arrival until the moment we departed- everything was an experience to remember for lifetime. The pristine water, the amazing snorkelling, beautiful sunsets , delicious food is just unbeatable. I must say that Shah was an outstanding guest experience manager who catered to our each and every need with great detail and patience. Hats off to the antire crew of six sense Lamu from security to housekeeping to the ice cream parlour and the amazing g chocolatier Mayuri- everybody made us feel so special. Thanks for making it so unique and lovable for us
Nature, Service, and Joy All in One
Hard to put into words just how good this place is.
Six Senses Laamu is, quite simply, paradise: where nature, design, and hospitality come together in perfect harmony. I’ve stayed in a lot of resorts, but this was next level. Every moment felt considered, but never contrived.
Waking up in an overwater villa and seeing friendly sharks cruise by was unreal. We snorkelled every day and saw turtles, rays, schools of fish, and vibrant coral. The water is that kind of clear blue that looks photoshopped until you’re swimming in it.
We spent our days biking through palm-lined paths, lounging on pristine beaches, and eating some of the best resort food I’ve ever had. Massive shoutout to the kitchen team for how they handled my wife’s food requirements: it was thoughtful and seamless.
But honestly, the people here are what make it unforgettable. Shah, our GEM, was phenomenal: on it with everything, kind to the core, and someone I’d hope go see again on my return trip(s). Everyone we met was warm, professional, and clearly loved what they do.
It’s rare to feel both pampered and purposeful on a holiday. But Laamu manages it: putting sustainability, local knowledge, and genuine care at the heart of the experience. We’ll be back. 100%.
A Soul-Nourishing Stay in Paradise
Six Senses Laamu gave me one of the most nourishing, awe-inspiring weeks I’ve ever experienced. From the moment we landed to the heartfelt farewell, everything about this stay was a masterclass in care, hospitality, and natural beauty.
We stayed in an overwater bungalow with sweeping views of the reef, and it was magical to wake up to rays, sharks, and turtles swimming right beneath us. Every snorkel felt like diving into a technicolour dream—lush coral gardens, seagrass meadows, and more sea life than I could count.
The experience was as luxurious as it was grounded. I had an incredible spa session (facial and massage), we rode bikes everywhere, and the food was just exceptional: fresh, varied, and full of options for dietary needs. Every detail is considered, from the scent on your pillow to the personalised bike accessories. I never felt like I had to compromise.
A special thanks to Shah, our Guest Experience Manager, whose warmth and care elevated everything. He curated a seamless stay for us: offering great recommendations, making every booking smooth, and treating us like old friends.
What makes Six Senses Laamu truly special isn’t just the setting, it’s the sense of purpose. You feel the heart that goes into every detail - from conservation efforts to how the team is looked after and given opportunities to grow.
We came here for a holiday. We left with full hearts. We’ll be back.
Amazing place!!
We’ve just returned from Six Senses Laamu, where we spent May half term with our wider family — including both children and grandparents (ages 7 to 76) — and honestly, it was one of the best holidays we’ve ever had.
Being familiar with the Six Senses brand, our expectations were high — and Laamu absolutely delivered. The island is stunningly beautiful, the food was outstanding, but the real standout was the team. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and unforgettable. The staff training here is clearly exceptional.
A special thank you to our GEM, Faudi, who was incredible from start to finish. Always available to assist with everything from restaurant reservations to spa bookings, he even arranged a football match especially for my 7-year-old nephew — a thoughtful gesture that meant so much. He made us feel like we were the only guests he had, and nothing was ever too much trouble.
The weather — often a hot topic when visiting the Maldives in the off-season — was mostly perfect, with just a couple of showers. But for us, the real benefit of travelling at this time was how peaceful the island felt. It wasn’t at full capacity, which only added to the sense of calm and exclusivity.
I’ve been lucky enough to go to a number of different islands in the Maldives but for me Six Senses Laamu is a tough one to beat! All in all, a truly unforgettable experience — and one we very much hope to repeat in the not-too-distant future.
Exceptional service at the heart of our stay

The flora is rich idyllic bathing places and the breathtaking scenery make this place simply unique.
A special mention to Shah, our GEM who has accompanied us for several years with a lot of rare human warmth, personalized attention and impeccable professionalism. Its presence makes our stay even more valuable.
A huge thank you to the entire team, from the hotel staff to the cooks and waiters, who make each visit an unforgettable moment. Their service far exceeds our expectations and demonstrates a real passion for their profession.
