Generations apart
December 9, 2025 - Time with grandchildren is among life’s rare treasures. Shared discoveries in the Maldives, Courchevel, and Rome celebrate the bond between generations, with every detail gently tended to while the parents stay at home.
If, like many families, you cherish traveling together but find schedules rarely align, our properties welcome every family dynamic, including the growing wish for skip-generational journeys, where grandparents lead the adventure.
With thoughtful hospitality and meaningful experiences designed to deepen connection, the gift of travel becomes an exciting present for children and a stress-free experience for their elders.
Maldives: Magical corals and memories
The lagoons of Six Senses Laamu welcome water-lovers to snorkel alongside gentle turtles, eagle rays, and reef sharks on the house reef or watch pods of playful spinner dolphins trace silver arcs during a sunset cruise. Between May and August, witness the shoreline cradle new life as baby green turtles hatch and find their way to the sea.
For grandparents and grandchildren who seek different rhythms, serene spa rituals, culinary discoveries, surfing, and diving can all be woven seamlessly into your stay. There’s also the simple delight of housemade ice creams and chocolate, or a moonlit film at Cinema Paradiso. Through it all, your Guest Experience Maker is a familiar presence, keeping plans effortless and days unhurried.
As General Manager Marteyne van Well says, “Six Senses Laamu has a special way of bringing people together. Whether guests choose adventure, quiet reflection, or playful discovery, there is space here for every generation to connect at their own pace. I enjoy seeing young guests spending quality time with older generations, sharing experiences, learning from one another, and creating new memories together.”
