Without doubt my favourite hotel we’ve stayed at in the Maldives. We have visited the Maldives over 5 times staying at various 5* hotels and this by far this has been our favourite! We will certainly be back again! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and general manager. Our “Gem” Shifu was very welcoming always smiling and made the extra effort to make sure we were all taken care of from the beginning - our boys loved seeing her! She even made/organised a certificate and cake (as a surprise) for our youngest who learned to ride a 2 wheel bike for the first time! All the staff extremely friendly, the restaurant very flexible (appreciate this) offering off menu foods for our children. The activity Center had a wide range of activities. We had the opportunity to see a rare experience of snorting with a family of manta rays. The atmosphere and staff are so special here - that it was really a relaxing holiday where all we had to do was enjoy our time there. No stresses no problems - everything was taken care of -just pure enjoyment and fun throughout the holiday! All respect for the general manager who does a great job here; a true sample of excellent hospitality! Thank you again looking forward to coming back again!

Of all or stays in the Maldives over the years, this was the most memorable one. Incredible quality of food and services, all while focusing on ecology and the conservation of the island’s natural environment. Truly a memorable experience, thank you!

We’ve just returned from our stay at Six Senses in the Maldives, and everything was truly excellent! Our villa was spacious and perfect in every detail—a true piece of paradise that allowed us to relax from the very first moment. A special thanks goes to our GEM, Sameeh, who took care of every detail with great attention and kindness. All the staff, from the restaurants to the spa, were incredibly attentive and made us feel pampered at all times. A particular thanks to Elisa for the amazing diving experience and to Rohit for his Hatha yoga, sound healing, Pilates, and aerial yoga classes—he is an incredibly skilled professional! The island is paradise in every corner, a place where we could recharge and forget daily stress. Now, we’re back in front of our screens, in the office, a bit sad to have left this dream place behind. The food was exquisite in every restaurant—the Italian, Spanish, and Japanese options were all delightful. The beachside seafood buffets, with grilled options under candlelight and live music, were magical. Desserts were a feast for the eyes and the palate, and the breakfast spread is truly a haven for anyone who loves to eat healthy, with a wealth of delicious, nutritious choices to start the day right. Thank you all for an unforgettable experience. We hope to return soon!

Having travelled the world extensively this October we decided to try the Maldives and through recommendations we choose to holiday at the six senses Kanuhura. Spending many a happy family in the best hotels in the world I have to say that this was the best family holiday and by far the best hotel we have stayed in. The location, peace, calm , tranquility are exceptional, this resort tries very hard to be eco friendly and maintain an original desert island experience. We have since been advised that this is probably the closest you will get to the perfect “bounty” desert island. The staff are really incredible, as you arrive and depart from your sea plane all of the staff welcome you and send you off and give you a personal welcome, very rare these days even in you 7 star Dubai resorts. We in particular had our own Guest experience manager or GEM or butler day I say, Lucia was our GEM for the time we where there and she literally organised everything we needed, she went above and then above and beyond again to make sure we enjoyed our time on the island, the nicest part about her was that she was genuinely doing her job because she wanted to make sure every guest enjoyed and maximised their stay. The food and wine was in keeping with a high end resort - simply brilliant, nothing left to chance. The activities were similarly brilliant, pricey but the Maldives is not a cheap place to holiday. We had a private charter to see, sharks, mantas and turtles and we saw the lot. There are lots of free activities held daily and these are good enough but we fully utilised the spa, local store, personalised trips and much more. the six senses brand already caters significantly for health and well being but whilst we were on the island they had a specialist health, physio, osteopath and yoga teacher, Morry, Morry added a significant amount of value to our stay with personalised fitness and health advise as well as yoga and massage. If only they could keep Morry full time ! Finalising my review - I have to say this was truly a 7 star 10/10 rating from all aspects, location, beauty, health and well being and the best of all the staff from right at the top all down to the villa attendants. You must try this place!

We enjoyed our stay very much & miss the place already!! Beautiful island with very tasty food, very nice staff & great villas. We had No41 and it was just perfect in every dimension. Loved to snorkel in front of our villa. We met a beautiful big turtle! 🐢 Yoga, Meditation, Diving, Tennis & Squash was a lot of fun. The massage at the Spa was also very professional. Only thing missing: Organized daily activities for older kids like football, beachvolley etc. Thanx to everyone for making our 10days-stay a unique experience ❤️
