Six Senses Kanuhura: A Reimagined Tropical Paradise Beckons
Tuesday 5th of September 2023
Imagine a place where endless white sandy beaches meet turquoise waters, where palm-fringed serenity is complemented by exhilarating aqua adventures. That place is the newly reimagined Six Senses Kanuhura, nestled in the pristine corner of the Lhaviyani atoll in the Maldives. This idyllic island paradise, adorned with its long, palm-fringed beach and two private islands, is once again open to welcome both new and returning friends.
Under the stewardship of Bryce Seator, General Manager, Six Senses Kanuhura has undergone a remarkable transformation, marking a significant milestone in the island's storied history. It's a journey that's culminated in an island experience that extends far beyond the beach, focusing on wellness, sustainability, and the creation of lasting memories.
A Haven for All With 91 beachfront and overwater villas, including the newly added one- and two-bedroom Beach Retreats and the lavish three-bedroom Beach Reserve with private pools mere steps from the ocean, Six Senses Kanuhura caters to families and couples alike. The architecture embodies a laid-back tropical island feel, while the interior design draws inspiration from the vibrant colors of the surrounding Maldivian nature.
Here, stories are waiting to be written on the island's pristine white sands. Whether it's a leisurely sunset beach walk, a family dinner under a star-studded sky, or a picnic on a deserted island, every experience is carefully crafted to foster a sense of reconnection.
Family Bliss The resort's commitment to holistic family travel is evident in offerings like the Grow With Six Senses kids' club and the Island Hideout, designed for teenagers to bond with new friends. Tailored experiences await families, from picnics on deserted islands to private cinema screenings. Group activities, including cooking classes, catamaran sailing lessons, and paper-making sessions at the Earth Lab, promise shared adventures and cherished memories.
Wellness and Sound Healing Six Senses Kanuhura immerses you in nature's uninterrupted symphony, from rustling coconut trees to gentle waves caressing the shore. At the Six Senses Spa, the soothing sounds of oceanic drums and singing bowls create a mesmerizing sound-healing journey. The biohacking lounge offers options to combat jetlag and promote relaxation between dives and workouts. Experienced therapists provide locally inspired treatments, adding to the overall sense of rejuvenation.
Culinary Delights Food enthusiasts will find themselves in a culinary wonderland at Six Senses Kanuhura. The resort follows the Eat With Six Senses concept, crafting dishes from sustainably sourced ingredients, including those from the island's organic garden, local fishermen, and farmers.
From Spanish-influenced cuisine at The Point to traditional Italian flavors at Bottega, the culinary journey spans East to West. The Market entices with its ever-changing dinner options, influenced by Southeast Asia, Japan, and India. Sip & Sand offers poolside culinary adventures with charcoal-grilled meat cuts and the freshest catches of the day. Don't miss the unforgettable castaway lunch at Drift, nestled amidst lush tropical nature. Here, locally caught reef fish sizzle slowly on the grill, infused with fresh herbs from the organic garden and local spices. Finally, Sunset Point promises breathtaking sunset views, with moments of pure relaxation on overwater hammocks.
Sustainability at its Core Six Senses' commitment to sustainability is evident throughout the resort. From reinventing the original construction to sourcing sustainable food ingredients, bottling drinking water on-site, and cultivating vegetables in the organic garden, sustainability is embedded in every aspect of the Six Senses Kanuhura experience. The resort actively contributes to marine conservation in the Lhaviyani atoll, making a positive impact on the island and its surroundings.
