Five ways to float away
November 12, 2025 - Along with festive countdowns, holidays are a chance to flow with tranquil waters in the most beautiful corners of the globe. What better way to escape the rush than by settling into your own peaceful current.
As we embrace the art of drifting, let the holidays unfold as a journey in stillness and meditation in motion.
Surrender to serenity
New this festive season, Serenity Floating at Six Senses Samui invites you to drift under a star-sprinkled sky. Cradled by floating mattresses in the pool, you’ll tune in to the soothing resonance of Tibetan singing bowls and Koshi chimes. As your body and mind respond to the quiet motion of water, the gentle sway carrying away tension, the experience brings profound calm. It’s a perfect prelude to peaceful sleep, and a feeling that will guide you through to the New Year and beyond.
Paddling with purpose
Glide quietly through the protected waters of the Hithadhoo Mangroves on a guided kayak adventure from Six Senses Laamu, with each gentle stroke leading to reflection and connection with nature and culture. The calm channels and tangle of roots hold stories and secrets of island life. As you paddle, observe how mangroves are powerful allies in sustaining coastlines and marine life. Your excursion also supports local livelihoods, providing income for island guides, drivers, and kayak rentals as part of Laamu Atoll’s first council-led eco-tourism initiative in a marine protected area.
A merry catch
On the glassy shores of Vietnam, cast your line into the turquoise waters surrounding Six Senses Con Dao. Join local fishermen on a traditional line-fishing voyage, an age-old practice that connects you directly to the archipelago’s deep oceanic heritage. It’s smooth sailing all the way, with an English-speaking guide and all equipment provided. Then bring your morning’s catch ashore, where chefs transform it into a private beachside feast. Golden sands, turquoise water, and fresh cuisine create a sensory escape that nourishes body and mind far from the usual festive indulgence and ordinary holiday fare.
Seafood, stars, and stories
A new tradition has begun at Mai Thai Beach, where a local long-tail boat brings the day’s catch to a joyful Fisherman Seafood Beach BBQ and the experience is as much about the people and the place than it is about the food. Life at Six Senses Yao Noi is unscripted so the menu reflects the rhythm of the sea. Oysters brightened with Thaibasco, prawns seared over open flame, and fish wrapped in banana leaves, each dish carrying the story of Thai coastal kitchens, simple yet soulful. Children chase crabs in the sand while parents raise a toast under the stars to the sound of drums and the steady pulse of the sea, trading decoration for genuine connection.
Castaway calm and charm
At Six Senses Kanuhura, the holiday season takes on a castaway charm at Drift, our restaurant on the private island of Jehunuhura. You’ll be whisked across the lagoon by pontoon to an island escape where toes-in-the-sand dining, lush green pathways, and hidden coves create the feeling of a secret hideout. Drift has recently had a little facelift to enjoy freshly caught seafood paired with tropical cocktails and fine wines under the cool of the swaying palms. Look out onto every hue of blue then spend the afternoon snorkeling among turtles, rays, and reef sharks, or floating in crystal waters. If you book the island exclusively, the menu is crafted to your taste, while leaving you to set the pace in your own little piece of paradise.
