Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 5 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Six Senses Laamu is built for guests whose holiday centres on diving and wellness rather than nightlife. It is the only five-star resort in Laamu Atoll, with villas featuring outdoor rainforest showers, a dedicated diving centre, a yoga pavilion, and a kitchen team that leans into organic ingredients across a menu ranging from Mediterranean plates to pizza. Guests consistently praise the sustainability ethos that runs through the property. Getting there requires a seaplane transfer, pricing sits at a premium reflecting the atoll's exclusivity, and evening entertainment is limited to the on-site bars rather than any wider scene.
Guests score it 9.8 out of 10 — the average across the 4 hotels we list in Southern Atolls is 9.8.
What Guests Loved
- Being the sole five-star property in Laamu Atoll means guests experience a quieter, less commercialized corner of the Maldives compared to more crowded atolls near Male.
- Villas feature outdoor bathrooms with rainshowers, allowing guests to shower under the open sky, a distinctive design choice that connects daily routines to the natural surroundings.
Things to Consider
- Reaching Olhuveli Island requires a 65-minute seaplane flight from Male International Airport, adding time and cost to the journey that some travelers may find inconvenient.
- As a five-star resort in an exclusive atoll, room rates and dining prices are positioned at a premium tier, which may not suit budget-conscious travelers.
