Dine under the stars, explore vibrant reefs, or simply walk barefoot along endless stretches of sand.
Location
Found in the remote Lhaviyani Atoll, a 40-minute seaplane journey from Malé, the main airport in The Maldives, Six Senses Kanuhura offers an untouched island setting with all the hallmarks of Maldivian beauty. It’s secluded yet spacious, with long beaches, calm lagoons, and easy access to some of the atoll’s most spectacular dive sites.
Rooms
The resort has 91 villas, each designed in true Six Senses style: light, natural, and elegant, blending sustainable materials with understated luxury. Choose from beachfront villas shaded by palms or overwater villas with direct lagoon access. Many come with private pools, and all are designed to feel like your own sanctuary.
Amenities
Dining is a highlight, with a collection of restaurants serving everything from freshly caught seafood to vibrant international flavours, all with stunning views. The Six Senses Spa brings together holistic wellness, yoga pavilions, and tailored therapies. Families are well looked after with clubs for younger guests, while adults will love the beach bars, wine cellar, and open-air cinema.
Activities
Life here is all about the water. Snorkelling and diving reveal reefs brimming with marine life, and you can also enjoy sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The resort offers fishing trips, sandbank picnics, and dolphin cruises, alongside curated wellness programmes and cooking classes. For those who love exploring, there are two deserted islands nearby to make your own for the day.
Sustainability
As with every Six Senses property, sustainability is central. Kanuhura runs on eco-friendly practices, with a focus on reef protection, reduced plastic, and energy conservation. The resort also works with local communities and supports marine research projects.
