Boutique Beach Hotel
Six Senses Kanuhura, a luxurious five-star retreat in the Lhaviyani Atoll, is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, offering an adults-focused escape across three private islands, renowned for one of the Maldives' most expansive beaches and vibrant marine life.
The 91 villas, from beachfront hideaways to overwater sanctuaries, blend bohemian elegance with natural beauty. Each features air-conditioned interiors, flat-screen televisions, minibars, coffee machines, safes, and spacious bathrooms with premium toiletries. Private terraces or balconies, some with direct lagoon access, invite guests to bask in tropical serenity, surrounded by lush gardens or turquoise waters.
Dining is an artful exploration of global flavours. The Market serves vibrant breakfasts with fresh fruits and healthy juices, transitioning to Southeast Asian, Italian, Indian, and Japanese-inspired dishes for dinner. Bottega reimagines Italian classics with homemade pastas and sourdough pizzas, crafted with herbs from the organic garden. Sip & Sand offers poolside lunches with charcoal-grilled meats and fresh seafood, shifting to Japanese sushi and tempura by night. Drift, on a deserted island, grills reef fish with local spices for a castaway-inspired lunch. The Point, set on Kanuhura's northern tip, delights with Spanish tapas and fine wines. Sunset Point Bar crafts cocktails to a resident DJ's beats, perfect for savouring iconic Maldivian sunsets. The Six Senses Spa, with treatments using coconut, mango, and mint, offers overwater tranquility, complemented by a sauna, hot tub, and Biohacking Lounge for jet-lag relief. Adventure thrives with a dive centre exploring 42 nearby sites teeming with dolphins and manta rays, alongside watersports like canoeing and windsurfing. Land-based pursuits include tennis, squash, and cooking classes, while romantic experiences like private beach dining or dolphin cruises elevate intimate moments.
A 40-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport, Six Senses Kanuhura in Lhaviyani Atoll offers seamless access to the Maldives' pristine reefs and secluded shores, crafting a luxurious blend of adventure and serenity.
