The resort
Six Senses Kanuhura is a sophisticated luxury resort occupying three private islands in Lhaviyani Atoll, reached by a 35-minute seaplane from Velana International Airport or a 90-minute speedboat journey. The 85 villas — spanning beachfront, overwater, and private-island categories — are designed in rustic-chic style with open-air bathrooms, private terraces, and free Wi-Fi; many feature private pools and soaking tubs. The resort's five restaurants, including a celebrated Italian eatery, and two bars offer exceptional dining in immersive tropical settings. A Six Senses Spa, a dive centre, and a full watersports programme anchor the resort's active offerings, while yoga sessions, an EarthLab sustainability centre, and curated kids' activities ensure it appeals to guests of all ages. The house reef supports vibrant coral gardens and diverse marine life, with snorkelling and diving available directly from the beach. Six Senses Kanuhura's commitment to sustainability, wellness, and holistic experiences makes it one of the Maldives' most thoughtful luxury escapes.
