“Six Senses Laamu feels like the Maldives at its most thoughtful. The resort dedicates itself to sustainability, and that ethos extends into a wellness program tailored around each guest. The over-water villas and less-explored reefs add up to an exclusive experience, though it's best to book directly to ensure no surprises.”
