Kanuhura Resort & Spa

Kanuhura is a lovely island - this was my second time returning to the island, however the first time under the ownership of Six Senses. My first impressions were extremely poor due to the sloppiness of the reservations team getting multiple information and data wrong. I highlighted the issues and the staff upon arriving made it right - I was upgraded and had excellent service. However now I have written multiple emails again to get my IHG points and my mail to the reservations team is unanswered and ignored. I have also written Six Senses HQ on their generic mail - mail also ignored. If you book directly and also log into your IHG account when booking and provide the IHG account number - I don't understand why the points aren't automatically added to the account. Furthermore, I fail to understand why the reservations team - as this is the only contact mail available on the kanuhura website - cannot simply 1) acknowledge my mail 2) give me the points that I should receive for my 9 day stay. This is not what you expect from a 5* premium hotel group or resort. I am dumbfound why a simple mail cannot be answered and a simple request not completed. So please can someone reach out to me from the Kanuhura team so that I am able to get my points. thank you Dimple Bhawsar

As our first long haul and white sand holiday, I spent a lot of time wanting to make sure we found a special place. Wow - this was more than special it truly was the holiday of a lifetime, Amazing. As you would expect, beautiful beaches, wonderful blue sea, fantastic food, it also felt we just had the island to ourselves. But what made it so special were all the people who made us so welcomed with the perfect level of service. Too many to name, but Adam Nasr overseeing some of the best food and service I have had in any restaurant or hotel ever and a great team just making everything so easy for everone. Plus a big shout out to Ishani who made the daily ice creams even more enjoyable. There might be some better islands than this (although this is stunning and would have to be convinced) but I would doubt there are any in the Maldives that will make your stay more enjoyable through a genuine and sincere warmth we encountered from everyone who worked there. Thank you, even with three days of full rain for making this our holiday of a lifetime.

Superb service from a knowledgeable and well trained Six Senses team. Food is very good especially the locally caught blue fin tuna which is world class. But you need to be on a meal plan or it becomes costly . Alcohol is prohibitively expensive but that seems to be a feature of the Maldives generally. The setting is glorious and the white sandy beaches make the beach villas a good choice for privacy and relaxation. The facility has had a number of changes of ownership and the bathrooms in particular need upgrading. You are assigned a GEM ( general experience manager) and it’s like having a personal concierge. Our GEM ( Shania) was excellent. Easy to reach by the efficient sea plane service.

We would like to thank all the staff of Kanuhura for your kindness and your professionalism. The resort location is definitely one of the best of the Maldives and it’s definitely one of the best spots to dive . Thank you so much to our GM Zhanna for her efficiency and discretion . And we would like to tell some words for our Diving instructor Elisa whom we had a lot of pleasure and fun diving with her ..And thank you so much to all the crew on board ( captain etc …) See you next year . Nico and Carlos

As frequent repeaters to Kanahura we know what to expect. However we continue to be delighted with this most beautiful island, the exceptional staff and its attentive friendly service in every area. The island with its natural soft sand and its luscious verdant walkways is a delight.The gardeners keep the island and beach well groomed and very natural. Your arrival at Male is seamless and soon you are on your sea plane to Kanahura. Once there your Gem ,management and all the staff make sure your holiday is a true escape . The food choices continue to evolve in all restaurants and caters for all tastes with lovely fresh food and excellent presentation. A special shout out to the baker for his exceptional daily freshly baked bread ,croissants and cakes.! The Point is a great place for evening drinks to watch the sunset and gaze out onto the beautiful ocean. There is plenty to do on the island whether on land or sea, we were lucky enough to see baby turtles 🐢 hatch and dolphins 🐬 in the ocean. JB ,the Resort Manager is always on hand with advice on anything you may need, just ask. If you are looking for a relaxed stay with great food and exceptional service,this is the one for you. Looking forward to coming back. Thankyou P&D
