In the northern part of the Lhaviyani Atoll, 40 minutes by seaplane from the international airport, Six Senses Kanuhura has a modern, sophisticated island life vibe. This iconic Maldivian island has been reborn under the Six Senses brand with sustainability at its heart. Marine adventures abound along with food, fun and family moments or alternatively, joyful peaceful seclusion. This resort is perfect for families or couples alike.
Many of the world’s cuisines are showcased at Kanuhura and all with one thing in common – fresh, locally sourced produce; of particular note, Sip & Sand offers live cooking and a Japanese twist for dinner, while The Point provides a Spanish influenced menu. When you’ve had enough of snorkeling straight from the deck of your overwater villa, the spa may beckon to help reset your energy levels to the sounds of the oceanic drum and Koshi chimes. Six Senses is constantly creating initiatives to make the island more sustainable; take tours that showcase the responsible operation as well as trips with a marine biologist to witness the rewilding of the seagrass – a staple for turtles. At certain times of year, you may also be lucky enough to see turtle hatchlings heading from nest to ocean.
