The Resort – A serene haven across three private islands
Claiming prime beachfront real estate along a stretch of coast known as one of the beast naturally formed beaches in the Maldives, the exclusive Six Senses Kanuhura offers barefoot luxury in one of the most spectacularly beautiful destinations on the planet. Elevating seaside splendour beyond all bounds, the resort takes form across both the main Kanuhura resort island and two neighbouring deserted islands, bordered by stretches of 360-degree beaches covered in sugar-white sand. Complete with an award-winning spa and exquisite dining, this is a true intimate island paradise you’ll never want to leave.
Discover a new realm of bohemian elegance in an elegant and modern villa or retreat. Located right on the beach or perched over the pristine Maldivian waters, both options offering easy access to the ocean, these escapes provide coastal opulence and tropical comforts in abundance – with features like private pools, spacious decks and outdoor furniture and dining areas.
The Maldives is a haven for incredible marine life and Kanuhura is no exception. Here, guests have the chance to witness the incredible spectacles of sea turtles hatching, dolphins playing amongst the surf and colourful corals growing along the reefs of Lhaviyani Atoll. Take to the waters with snorkel or scuba gear and immerse yourself.
