Magic in the Maldives

June 6, 2022 - Six Senses Laamu’s exciting summer projects include a new Marine Discover Center and the release of the 2021 Marine Underwater Initiative Annual Report.

New developments at Six Senses Laamu

2022 will mark an exciting chapter in the history of Six Senses Laamu. In an effort to develop a deeper guest connection with the beautiful Laamu atoll, the resort will be making some enhancements, including:

  • The opening of a state-of-the-art Marine Discovery Center on Sunset Beach, which will feature a large exhibition space, a research lab for the Maldives Underwater Initiative team, a marine-focused kids’ area for the Junior Marine Biology program, and an innovative presentation room including virtual reality and a cinema.
  • The introduction of its largest villa yet – a Three-Bedroom Beach Villa (with a possible fourth room add-on) with a private pool that reaches out over the lagoon. The team will also be securing our coastal protection in the lagoon to eliminate any risk of erosion affecting this villa and other areas of the resort.
  • Private pools will be added to the remaining three beach villas that do not already have pools, meaning Six Senses Laamu will become an all-pool villa product from a beach villa perspective.

Guest experiences and comfort are the resort team’s highest priorities, and the above mentioned projects are being conducted with this in mind. For those visiting while these works are in progress, Six Senses Laamu guarantees accommodation in villas away from any works. All the dining outlets and experiences will operate as usual during this time.

2021 MUI Annual Report

Six Senses Laamu has released the most recent annual report from their Maldives Underwater Initiative (MUI) team, highlighting their key achievements in research, community outreach, guest education, communications, and resort sustainability. This beautifully designed report is out now on the MUI Website.

Last year, thanks to years of data collected by MUI, and an extensive application from the team, the Laamu Atoll was declared a Hope Spot by Dr. Sylvia Earle and her team at Mission Blue. Shortly after this, the Maldives cabinet approved the protection of six ecologically significant sites in the Laamu Atoll, making these the first-ever marine protected areas in Laamu. Beyond these advancements in marine conservation, the report highlights the many other impacts the MUI team achieved last year, including:

  • 1,865 students came together to celebrate marine conservation during eight different events to mark Laamafaru Festival 2021.
  • 1,191 encounters with manta rays were logged by the Six Senses Laamu Manta Trust researchers.
  • 240 organizations pledged their support to the #SaveOurSharks movement launched by Blue Marine Foundation and Six Senses Laamu.
  • 1,650 green sea turtle hatchlings safely started their lives on Six Senses Laamu’s beaches.
  • 15,096 marine education sessions were shared with guests at the resort.
  • 53 colonies of coral were recorded spawning by Six Senses Laamu researchers during a 12-month study of their house reef.
