Six Senses Kanuhura

We enjoyed our stay very much & miss the place already!! Beautiful island with very tasty food, very nice staff & great villas. We had No41 and it was just perfect in every dimension. Loved to snorkel in front of our villa. We met a beautiful big turtle! Yoga, Meditation, Diving, Tennis & Squash was a lot of fun. The massage at the Spa was also very professional. Only thing missing: Organized daily activities for older kids like football, beachvolley etc. Thanx to everyone for making our 10days-stay a unique experience ❤️

Just leaving Kanuhura Maldives, and I already wish I could stay longer! The mix of laid-back luxury and comfort made it feel like my own private island home. From the warm welcome to the stunning villa, everything was perfect. The villa felt like a private retreat—spacious, beautifully designed, and super relaxing. The service here is top-notch but chill, making it easy to unwind. The spa was amazing, and the food... just wow! Every meal was fresh and delicious. What I loved most was the feeling of being part of a little island community. The staff made it feel like home. If you're after relaxed luxury in paradise, Kanuhura is the place. Can’t wait to come back!

Overall Ludicrously beautiful place with excellent service, stylish details and fun activities. A luxurious spot to unwind, get some sun and do some diving. Beautiful clean beaches. Incredibly clear water. Villa We stayed in Villa 23, a deluxe beach villa with pool on the west side of the island, right next to the wider beach which is incredibly beautiful, on the side where the jetties are - and the seaplanes (about 5 a day come in and out). It also meant we got the sunsets. I would say that the other (east) side is wilder but we found our side to be v convenient. The villa itself was lovely. Loads of room. A large double bathroom with a bath and 2 showers. A sofa, rocking chair and a very large super king bed. A hallway. A walk in dressing room. Modern Californian style. Quiet. Air con. Regularly and discretely cleaned. Water replenished. The pool is for looks really. It’s 90cm deep so a plunge at best. Good with small kids I suppose. I hear the retreats are particularly nice. Service The service was excellent. Never imposing or annoying. Just friendly, efficient and quick to turn things around. We didn’t make much use of our GEM (Guest Experience Manager) - we’re quite low maintenance and can work things out ourselves usually - but she was there whenever we needed her and sorted stuff out very quickly. The team at Six Senses Kanuhura seems happy to be there. I got the sense they enjoy their jobs. Many have been there for many years, some since well before Six Senses became the operator. The senior team were very present and seemed to be running things extremely well. We sensed a very positive culture. Six Senses On top of the excellent service, our feeling was that Six Senses is particularly thoughtful about sensory things - how to create an atmosphere - and this suits us well. The music was cool and always the right vibe (Thievery Corporation, Bob Marley, Jamie Cullum). The lighting was beautifully atmospheric. They lit a fire on the beach. The buildings have nice details, materials and textures. If you’re the sort that lights a candle to create an atmosphere at home, they could be the hotel brand for you. Wellness There is a gentle emphasis on wellness here. An Apple cider vinegar shot (called rocket fuel) is offered at breakfast. We took our medicine every day with a water chaser. The spa has excellent (single sex) sauna, steam, hot and cold plunges as well as very good massage. It’s quite expensive ($200+) but arguably worth it if you’re here to recover from a busy life. We also took a yoga class - which was great. It was led by an Indian teacher with a quite disciplined approach. Teachers from that part of the world often have this - counting breaths, going straight into a strong representation of a pose. He was very good, but I tend to prefer to adapt and find what feels good. In any case it got the day off to a bracing start. It was $45 for a 60 minute class and I did wonder if this should be included. In general I though
