Resting in a utopian section of the Indian Ocean where the dolphins play and the palms shade the powder soft sand, is Six Senses Laamu, a luxury resort that truly makes guests feel as though they’ve been transported to another world.
In addition to on-land accommodations, the resort offers much coveted over-water villas, lounges and restaurants, all constructed from sustainable materials and offering dazzling views of the lagoon, and vast ocean beyond. In addition, all villas include air conditioning, a personal bar, outdoor bathrooms and rain showers, WiFi, a Bose entertainment system and flat screen TV. Ideal for families is the two-bedroom pool villa with private beach access, a garden and daybeds.
When it’s time to eat, the resort’s restaurants and lounges provide sumptuous dished prepared by first-rate chefs who utilize produce from the island’s organic gardens.
Beyond resting in the stunning villas and searching for shells on the beach, guests can swim with Oriental Sweetlips, parrotfish and green turtles while snorkeling or scuba diving in Laamu’s coral-rich reef. Catamaran cruises, windsurfing and water skiing are also offered. But, one of the main adrenaline-fueled activities at Six Senses Laamu is the surf.
Yin Yang, the Maldives’ most famous wave breaks on the outer reef of the local island Hithadhoo, which the resort can transport surfers to morning and afternoon. And as this is the only resort in that atoll, guests almost always have the break to themselves. The best time for this wave is from April to October when wind and waves are up, with the biggest swells often occurring between June to September.
