Sunday 20th of December 2020

Within just the first four weeks of its launch, the seven-episode drama, The Queen’s Gambit got nearly 62 million active subscribers watching the show. It became the most viewed limited series ever for Netflix and had led to a huge spark in chess around the world. The phenomenon even reached the islands of Maldives, where many grew an interest in the sport.

Six Senses Laamu, the only resort on the remote Laamu Atoll in the southern Maldives, recently posted a picture of two young guests enjoying a game of chess at the Chill Bar. The name speaks for itself; this magical overwater setting is the perfect place to chill for everyone. Enjoy signature cocktails as the resident DJ tempts you to put on your dancing shoes.

Chess is a game of the mind and can develop several critical thinking skills. At this paradise, there’s something for everyone, from the Einsteins to the mermaids to the athletes. Visit the Ocean Group watersports center, where there are lots of options for aqua lovers. Hop on the snorkelling dhoni for a unique snorkelling adventure.
