Impressions
Cuisine
At Six Senses Laamu, the kitchen revolves around fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Leaf, an adults-only restaurant set on a treetop platform, serves dishes crafted from the catch of Maldivian fishermen and the resort's own organic garden – including the plant-forward Maldivian Blue Zone Menu. Longitude offers an international breakfast buffet, along with fresh fish, grilled meat, pasta and Asian flavours throughout the day. Regular live cooking nights, a wine cellar, and the resort's own ice cream and chocolate rooms, with 48 flavours to choose from, round out the offering – for special occasions, a beach lobster barbecue or a private dinner among the sand dunes can also be arranged.
Wellness
Set right on the beach, Six Senses Spa offers four private couples' treatment "nests," four secluded couples' pavilions and its own Ayurvedic treatment pavilion, nestled within the island's natural vegetation. Experienced therapists and visiting experts guide you toward inner balance through smart, technology-driven wellness programmes, energy healing, hypnotherapy and traditional Ayurvedic treatments, while yoga and meditation round out the day.
Experiences
Six Senses Laamu sits right in front of Yin Yang, one of the Maldives' most celebrated surf breaks – ideal for experienced surfers, while beginner-friendly waves can be found nearby. Snorkelling the resort's rich house reef brings you face to face with dolphins, rays and colourful marine life, while the dive centre runs daily excursions to the surrounding reefs. As the home of the Maldives Underwater Initiative, the resort actively works to protect manta rays, sea turtles and coral reefs. A sunset dolphin cruise aboard a private dhoni, cinema under the stars on Wednesdays and Sundays, and complimentary bicycles for every villa make exploring the island a pleasure.
