Six Senses Kanuhura

Magnificent resort, Maldives are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the world. People working at six senses kanuhura are the kindest. I loved every minute of my stay at that resort. I would definitely recommend that hotel to anyone wanting to visit Maldives.

We were lucky enough to have recently enjoyed our fourth visit to this wonderful resort. The moment you step off the seaplane, you are met by a host of smiling faces to welcome you and the holiday has begun! The service here is exemplary - any little hiccups in the very early days since the Six Senses re-brand have been ironed out by Bryce, GM and FB, the Resort Manager - they must be very proud of their team and the lengths they go to to ensure the guests want for nothing. We stayed again in 'our' lovely villa opposite Drift, presented and maintained perfectly by Ali. We were very happy to see Sameeh again, he is the epitome of a perfect GEM! A wonderful surprise awaited us in Kashavelli when we discovered Vel was back, very ably supported by a very friendly and efficient team including Shifau, Jawadh, Fariz, Shijau, Clovia and Diva, never forgetting Adrian and his tempura prawns - look out for him on buffet nights! The standard of food was excellent, lots of choice and very accommodating if you fancied anything off the menu, nothing was too much trouble. We went to The Point 3 times, it was so good. Thank you to Adam for making sure we didn't miss it this visit [and for choosing our table for my 2 birthdays!] and hats off to Chef Mano for his superb paella - brilliant service there too, thank you Luca and Franco - amazing to sit out and watch the crabs scuttling on the beach, we felt very privileged. Another privilege was watching one solitary little baby turtle being rescued during the excavation of a nest on the beach - a fascinating experience hosted by Jocelyn and a colleague - and seeing it make its way down the beach to the ocean. The weather was a bit mixed [in spite of very confident always positive meteorological reports from Amsood!] but the covered area in the villa is very comfortable and we were lucky any rain didn't last long - and it certainly didn't stop us visiting the charming lady dispensing delicious icecream... The spa was another happy place - wonderful treatments - I think our therapists were Dawa, Narti, Anne and another lady whose name I didn't catch - we could certainly recommend all of them! Another wonderful experience at Kanuhura. We actually emailed Turquoise, our travel agent , while we were there and booked again for this year - so see you all again in December! Thank you to the whole team from the top to the bottom and Happy New Year.

We just had 11 nights of absolute indulgence at the six senses. This place was beyond beautiful and exceeded our expectations by 100000 times! From the moment we arrived we were welcomed warmly and were whisked into the incredible Maldives hospitality and care. It was wonderful and all staff were so kind, helpful and very friendly - we felt completely spoilt! We can’t recommend the hotel and service enough - thank you for giving us incredible memories for such a special family trip. Oh and the food - wow! Great cocktails too. Snorkeling was like a dream - We loved everything so leaving was hard but we hope to be lucky enough to return one day. Xxx

I think we’ve found our happy place. We visited Six Senses Kanahura as a couple for our Silver Wedding Anniversary in October 2023, but we just had to go back with our family this year, so that they could also experience the most tranquil holiday ever. It was also my wife’s 50th birthday, so a great excuse to book this trip. Kanahura is like most Maldivian Islands, so you can expect picture perfect white sands and a beautiful blue ocean. Where it differs from many, is that it is a perfect size to walk around, and you can do this without leaving the perimeter of the beach. Many islands have a “rough” side or an area that is inaccessible, but not here. You are also provided with bicycles or can be picked up by golf kart and taken wherever you wish to go on the island. It didn’t take long for us to settle in again, and our children understood and agreed with us instantly just what all the fuss had been about. Nothing too much had changed in a year, albeit the food menus had been revised to offer even more choice. Our favourite people were still here, managers and staff, and it was so lovely that we felt genuinely remembered by so many of them. I guess this is the point so many people make about Six Senses Kanahura, it’s the people who work on the island that turn a beautiful place into Paradise. Nothing is any trouble, ever, and every request is met with a kind and warm hearted smile. When you speak to the team here, it is so interesting to know who they are, where they are from, and to know that Six Senses IHG treat them well and appreciate them. We met people from India, Mauritius, Nepal, Ibiza, and of course we could never forget about you JB ( France ). Sameeh, our Gem, and one of the locals connected to us via a what’s app group, and this was invaluable to us. When we needed him, he was either there straight away in person or with the information we required. Highlights are many, but we really recommend engaging with the Water Sports team who took us on Jet skis to get up close and personal with the dolphins, on their motor boat to meet the turtles and the sharks, or testing out some of their brand new and on trend water sports equipment. Electric hydrofoil anybody? Ibrahim, you just have a way of knowing where to go and what to do …thank you. Other highlights include sunset drinks at The Point, the weekly BBQ on the beach, and just chilling in or around your beautifully appointed room ( all categories included, but for us the beach villas with pool offer the best of everything with easy access to the beach and sea and for a reasonable price). One family highlight ( apart from having complimentary ice cream on tap ) was the daily family game of Pétanque that we played on the beach by Sip & Sand. Just like last year, there is so much more I can write, but I neither work for Conde Nast nor do I want to spoil your expectations of what is undoubtably a top tier resort with a world class team looking after you. It’s beauty and luxury wi

Wir sind schon öfters auf den Malediven gewesen, das neu gebaute Six Sences hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Qualitativ top gebaut,die Restaurants haben eine super Qualität und Auswahl und das Personal ist hervorragend. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder zurück.

As our first long haul and white sand holiday, I spent a lot of time wanting to make sure we found a special place. Wow - this was more than special it truly was the holiday of a lifetime, Amazing. As you would expect, beautiful beaches, wonderful blue sea, fantastic food, it also felt we just had the island to ourselves. But what made it so special were all the people who made us so welcomed with the perfect level of service. Too many to name, but Adam Nasr overseeing some of the best food and service I have had in any restaurant or hotel ever and a great team just making everything so easy for everone. Plus a big shout out to Ishani who made the daily ice creams even more enjoyable. There might be some better islands than this (although this is stunning and would have to be convinced) but I would doubt there are any in the Maldives that will make your stay more enjoyable through a genuine and sincere warmth we encountered from everyone who worked there. Thank you, even with three days of full rain for making this our holiday of a lifetime.
