THE 5* SIX SENSES LAAMU MALDIVES

Say the word ‘Maldives’ and instantly Robinson Crusoe-esque visions of gin-clear iridescent water lapping the shores of tiny atolls flung like a child’s necklace across the ocean spring to mind. It can be a minefield selecting the island that fits your own personal wish list but if it’s an exquisite isolation, far from land with nothing but the hypnotic waves of the ocean around you, then Six Senses Laamu could quite possibly be your very own heaven on earth. In the virtually uncharted territory of the Laamu Atoll, this stunningly understated resort is hidden deep in the Indian Ocean towards the far southern reaches of the Maldivian archipelago. The location does mean it takes a little longer to get there but trust us when we say it is worth every single minute of the journey. SLEEP 97 villas are strung along the envy-inducing powder soft beach or hover lightly above the blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Ocean Beach Villas and Lagoon Beach Villas are set on the perfect sands with strategically placed sun loungers topped with plump cushions, direct access to the beach and a treetop deck for epic sunset viewing, whilst the Laamu, Ocean and Lagoon Water Villas sit on weathered timber jetties in the azure coloured lagoon. You can play hide and seek with the fish as you laze in your glass bathtub, or drift away in the hammock strung over the water. The seriously comfy day beds are custom- made for all indulgent day-long relaxing. Some of the villas also feature an irresistible infinity-edge pool! EAT You embark on a journey of all senses when it comes to dining and thankfully, even though this is an island retreat, there are three restaurants and two bars, an ice cream studio and a wine cellar and deli. Most are set over water and all have that most essential of Maldivian ingredient – sublime tropical views. PAMPER & PLAY The Six Senses Spa sits right on the therapies. For lovers of the water world who can’t resist the call of the waves, the 8ft Yin-Yang is a world-class surf break just off shore. Wakeboarding, diving, water-skiing and windsurfing are all also available. Snorkelling from the Chill Bar is fantastic – and the playful Spinner Dolphins enjoy a regular morning and evening swim into the atoll!
