A 1.4 km natural island in Lhaviyani Atoll between two uninhabited islets, with seven bars and restaurants, castaway lunches and Six Senses wellness.
Six Senses Kanuhura is a 1.4-kilometre natural island in Lhaviyani Atoll, ringed by beach and set between two uninhabited islands, Jehunuhura and Masleggihura. It's a 40-minute seaplane flight from Malé, and bicycles, kayaks and paddleboards are free.
There are about 91 villas, from one to three bedrooms, on the beach and over the lagoon, and most have a private pool. They range from 101 m² Beach Villas with Pool and 122 m² Deluxe Beach Villas, with glass-enclosed living rooms, to 115 m² Water Villas with Pool, Family Water Villas with a study of pull-out beds, and two-storey Family Beach Retreats with a lookout tower.
The Market serves breakfast and dinners from Southeast Asia, Japan and India; Bottega is Italian, with handmade pasta; Sip & Sand cooks over charcoal with a Japanese touch by the pool; The Point is a Spanish tapas and wine bar with an infinity pool and swim-up bar; and Drift serves castaway lunches on Jehunuhura. There's also Scoops for ice cream, the Sunset Point bar, the Alchemy Bar, the Six Senses Spa with hot and cold plunge pools, the Deep Blue Dive Center, the Grow with Six Senses kids' club and an Earth Lab.
This profile comes from travel agencies, because the resort's own website couldn't be checked. The agencies count 85 to 91 villas, and several villa types have no published occupancy, so they aren't listed here.
