Six Senses Laamu

A virgin island. Powder white sand. Palm trees. Crystal clear turquoise water. Dolphins frolicking and rainbows of fish shimmering in and around the coral reef. Welcome to Laamu, Six Senses new resort on the island of Olhuveli, deep in the Indian Ocean. The 97 villas have been carefully designed to complement nature. Each allows utter privacy. Near to the peaceful blue lagoon is a surfer’s paradise, with majestic ten foot waves, surfing lessons, both board and kite are offered, along with diving, skiing and snorkeling from the Ocean School. At night, Six Senses Laamu really starts to rock. The Chill bar is built over the water, with a world class cocktail list, the wine ‘cellar’, Altitude, is a tower of spun glass, rising high out of the sea, and a choice of restaurants offering world class food and wine, with many ingredients grown in the resort’s organic garden or locally sourced. There is a Kid’s Club, a Six Senses Spa and many daily excursions to choose from.

Sea breezes drift among the rustic woods under high palm roofs at Laamu’s six bars and restaurants, most set over water. Edible memories at each are enhanced by exquisite tropical vistas, from pulsating equatorial sunrises above translucent turquoise waters to romantic rose coloured sunsets into the inky evening sea.

Chill - Early mornings find Helen our resident mixologist in Laamu’s organic gardens, picking rosemary, mint, lemongrass and ripe fruits for homegrown cocktails like the Rhubarb Bamboo and a Maldivian Bloody Mary with Laamu’s chili and basil. Next the young Londoner bicycles over sand towards the kitchen, to slow roast tomatoes and dry herbs for her Rosemary Smoked Red Snapper. She makes mangosteen and screwpine jams, apple purees and syrups of ginger, chili and tea to mix into liquid delights. By nightfall, you’ll find Helen, smoking gun in hand, decanting molecular concoctions behind the sunken over water bar while visiting DJs and jazz musicians provide equally inspired acoustics.

Deck-A-Dance - Further into Laamu’s lagoon where Napoleon wrasse and parrotfish swim along a spectrum of thriving coral, these six glass aquarium tables above the sea are the only spot in the Maldives to dine on a zero carbon menu. While stars illuminate the scene from above and waves lap soothingly underneath, feast on inventive, entirely local fare like grilled reef fish over a fire of coconut shells with Maldivian spices, coriander and lime, a memorable meal as groundbreaking as it is gourmet.

Logtitude - Along Hithadhoo Kandu, a natural waterway for bottlenose dolphins to the open sea, this open air, two story dining space begins each day with Parisians’ approved croissants and fresh from the oven breads, best topped with our own passion fruit, banana or fig jam. Add pancakes, waffles or eggs made to order. There’s even ice cream for those who wish or save that for after dinner’s a la carte international menu of fresh catch, grilled meats, pastas and Asian flavours.

With so much of the reef unexplored, diving at the Laamu Atoll is an adventure of discovery. Due to the secluded location and undisturbed nature, new dive sites of interest are bound to reveal itself.

The Laamu Atoll offers pristine untouched hard coral gardens with a large variety of fish life for inner and outer reef dives, as well as channel diving with encounters of sharks, barracudas, stingrays, napoleon wrasses and of course, our friendly turtles are waiting for you!
