If we had to guess your idea of a perfect escape from the clatter of life, it might involve sunset cocktails on a sandbank, slipping into crystalline waters straight from your private deck, and diving some of the most beautiful reefs in the world. You'll get all that and more on this laidback, luxury trip to the Maldives.
Not far from the main Malé Atoll, you'll speed boat over to Gili Lankanfushi for four languid days of over-the-water hammocks and incredible snorkelling. Next up you will travel by sea plane and speedboat to Six Senses Laamu, where there's no sign of another resort for miles, the diving is sensational and the views are dreamy to say the least.

You will be met on arrival at Male Airport and escorted to the jetty for a 20 minute speedboat transfer.

From the privacy of a coastal shelf in the North Malé Atoll, awash with lapping turquoise waves, Gili is a resort set almost entirely on water. Some villas are completely untethered to the mainland and come with their own boat to zip across the lagoon! Pass darting schools of fish as you stroll across the timber walkways to a breakfast on the sand and follow in the fins of dolphins as they leave the atoll to find dinner at sunset. At Gili Lankanfushi there are a bevvy of features that set the resort apart - from a private water garden at your villa to themed dinners from across the globe and days spent in the care of your private butler.
Gili Lankanfushi Maldives is just located 20 minutes from Male International Airport by speedboat.
Every villa has a catamaran-style net that hangs just above the crystal-clear water. It's hard to imagine a better place to doze!
Villa Suite
From Gili Lankanfushi, the North Malé Atoll is your oyster and there are plenty of ways to explore its coral-ringed waters. Visit one of the many diving sites to swim amongst butterfly fish, eagle rays and the endangered green sea turtle. Cruise the waters in search of whale sharks, picnic on a deserted island and hit the waves with watersports of every kind - from windsurfing to wakeboarding. Learn about the resort's conservation efforts at the marine biology shack, catch a movie at the jungle cinema or soar above the islands in a seaplane.
You will be transferred back to Male Airport by speedboat and you’ll be escorted to the domestic terminal lounge ready for the 35-minute flight to Laamu’s Kadhdhoo Airport and a fascinating bird’s-eye view of the beautiful Maldives Archipelago. Finally you will take a 15-minute speedboat trip to the resort.
1hr 20mins
The balmy waters of the Laamu Atoll are remote to begin with and Six Sense happens to be the only resort for miles. Strung between swaying palms, there are plenty of hammocks to snooze in and homemade ice cream makes a lovely accompaniment to strolls along the beachfront. The villas have tons of island chic with sunken glass bathtubs over the lagoon and rooftop sun decks. Take to the water on a boat trip to nearby manta ray hangouts or watch the sunset from a private sandbank, cocktail in hand. By night, catch a movie at the jungle cinema or make the most of the lucid sky with an evening of stargazing.
Six Senses Laamu is just located 35 minutes from Male International Airport by domestic flight, followed by a 15 minute speedboat ride to the Resort.
Quite unexpectedly but very welcome, Six Senses has an on-site chocolate studio that makes its own delicious truffles with flavours like cinnamon, green tea, lavender and mint mojito.
Lagoon Water Villa
Six Senses is the only dive resort around so you'll easily have diving sites all to yourself, including the famous Hithadhoo Corner where more than 120 manta rays reside. Join the resort's marine biologist on an educational snorkelling excursion or cast your line from a traditional Maldivian fishing boat. Sail to a nearby island and enjoy a hike to the lake at its centre or park under a palm for lunch. Enjoy the water surrounding the resort with water skiing, kayaking and kite surfing.
You will be collected from your hotel and take a short 15 minute speedboat transfer to Kadhdhoo Airport for the 35 minute flight to Male International Airport.
