Spanning across three secluded islands in the Lhaviyani Atoll, Six Senses Kanuhura occupies some of the Maldives’ most stunning and isolated beaches. Bumping against the stunning shoreline, with a handful of villas floating over turquoise waters, this tranquil island escape offers ample opportunity to explore the coast by foot, diving the reef, and paddling in the waters.
The resort is located approximately a 40-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport (MLE) in Malé. The resort can be reached by a mandatory seaplane transfer, available at an additional cost (payable directly to the resort). Please contact the resort directly to book your transfer (see Fine Print for more details).
