Six Senses Kanuhura, Maldives

Location

There’s something about arriving by seaplane that heightens the sense of castaway excitement. And the flight to Six Senses Kanuhura's thin strip of palm-studded sand, 40 minutes from Malé, provides a spectacular introduction to this secluded, private-island hideaway.

Accommodation

Dotted along the shore or on stilts over the lagoon, the resort’s villas are a harmonious blend of traditional thatched-roof rusticity and contemporary, island chic. Choose from spacious one, two and three bedroom beach villas with direct access to the beach, and idyllic water villas perched above the turquoise lagoon. Private pool upgrades add an extra layer of indulgence, whilst the Family Beach Retreat offers the perfect option for a private family getaway. Across all categories, air-conditioning, mini bars, complimentary internet access and satellite TVs come as standard.  

Dining

Culinary journeys at Six Senses Kanuhura celebrate the harmony of local ingredients and global flavours, enhanced by exceptional wine pairings and warm, intuitive service. Savour toes-in-the-sand dining at Drift Grill, authentic Italian fare at Bottega, or indulge in the freshest sushi and fire-grilled meats at Sip & Sand. From fluffy breakfast pancakes to just-caught seafood and vibrant Spanish-inspired tapas, every meal is a flavourful celebration of island life.

Facilities

Relax with a rejuvenating massage or holistic treatment at the Six Senses Spa whose serene beachside setting also hosts a unique biohacking lounge, hot and cold-water pools, beachfront yoga pavilion, nail & alchemy bar and well-equipped gym. Explore the surrounding atolls on everything from sunset cruises and snorkelling trips to big game fishing and castaway picnics. Or, book onto a PADI-certified dive course to explore the Maldives’ underwater world. Back on the island, a stunning swimming pool, two floodlit tennis courts and a host of watersports provide further distraction. And there’s both a kids’ and a teens’ club where younger guests can enjoy the best of island life through fun activities and educational excursions.
