The Second-Best Thing to Happen to Six Senses in The Maldives – A Brand New Address!
Thursday 16th of September 2021
The laid-back island of Kanuhura spans across two deserted sister islands and is the epitome of what a true tropical hideaway must be – ringed with white powdery sands, an extended turquoise lagoon, lush vegetation canopy. This sanctuary will soon become the esteemed Six Senses’ second property in the Maldives in collaboration with the Singapore based Hotel Properties Limited, scheduled to be complete transition by late 2022.
As guests make their way to the island on a scenic 40-minute seaplane ride, they can be assured that this is as far away from it all as possible they can get where the untouched nature is only rivalled by two completely deserted islands of Jehunuhura and Masleggihuraa.
By the time the doors of this haven open to guests, the resort will be equipped with 80 tastefully decorated private overwater, beach and spacious family villas, all offering the limitless horizon for sunset or sunrise views.
Complementing the highest of standards expected from any product offered in the luxurious destination of Maldives, Kanuhura will offer sensitive enhancements with the Six Senses ethos in mind to its already prestigious reputation of accolades over the years. This includes a major revamp to the overwater villas to include private pools, new family suites, new dining concepts and pioneering wellness offerings. Recreation on the island can be enjoyed at the boutique where a new space dedicated to sustainable fashion displays creative pieces of forward-thinking design and attention to detail.
A freshly built organic herb garden will build on the farm-to-table concept of Six Senses, allowing to create an array of mouthwatering dishes with the garden-picked vegetables, herbs and salad leaves that will be grown here. The ingredients will be used in everyday cooking at the restaurants and the more exclusive daily workshops with the chefs where guests too can learn about organic plating of their meals. Perhaps nowhere on earth will a farm to fork picnic taste better than marooned on Jehunuhura in the middle of the Indian Ocean with only a possessive hermit crab for company.
Not only limited to on the island, Six Senses will take matters below the waves to their own hands as well in the coming months. The watersports portfolio will get additional world-class high-performance equipment in partnership with Ocean Wings Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Ocean Group Maldives. Together, providing the ultimate water experience is the goal, whilst inspiring and educating guests on the importance of ocean conservation of the fragile underwater world.
There are over 40 dive sites in the vicinity of the resort where on-demand turtle safaris can also be arranged to the turtle point less than 5 minutes away from the resort. The conservation and sustainability efforts at these sites where only mindful activities will take place are also executed in the various projects that are planned for the neighboring island communities. With a focus on education and student development, the Six Senses initiatives go beyond building sustainable designs and protecting just the flora and fauna.
In short, Six Senses Kanuhura will provide the romantic setting, discreet wining and dining, star-filled skies, deserted beaches, and pioneering wellness for a restful and restorative stay.
