We have visited Kanuhura many times over the years, from One and Only ,Sun resorts and now Six Senses. The resort has been updated with creative improvements. The Villas, furniture and fittings have been replaced throughout but at the same time keeping that special Kanahura feel.A new sunset restaurant ,the Point , has a wonderful Spanish restaurant led by Chef Manu ,with Frank and the other staff creating a great atmosphere both at lunch and dinner with different menus for both. You can eat and watch Sting rays, baby sharks and other wonderful coloured fish swim by. Upstairs there is a bar and pool to watch the Sunsets and at happy hour 5-6 a DJ plays music to set the scene. The pool bar Sip and Sand serves food lunch through to Dinner and is a great place to watch the world go by, The Market Place serves breakfast and dinner with everything you could want along with a coupe of themed nights.All the staff were excellent and worked hard to make everyone have a great holiday,especially Arun,Fariz,Ahusham and Dibba. The transition from the airport to the seaplane was professionally handled and made it as easy as possible if you were a first time guest. Our GEM Aseem met us at the jetty and arranged anything we needed through our our stay. The housekeeping team were excellent throughout the resort and the gardeners continued to make the island a beautiful paradise.Make sure you visit the stunning orchid nursery. It is one of the most beautiful natural islands in the Maldives giving you a true sense of paradise. Considering the resort has just reopened the management team led by Bryce , JB and Risa have worked very hard to pull it together . The team are receptive to ideas and suggestions to ensure Kanuhura continues to be one of the most stunning and natural resorts in the Maldives. We look forward to our next visit in February. Thankyou.

Wonderful hotel, corresponding to 5 stars. The villas are spacious, clean, the beach is nice. There aren't as many fish as there are elsewhere, but there are - we've seen reef sharks and turtles and rays and all kinds of beautiful change. The hotel's previous owners started building a home reef, but the Six Senses concept is laissez-faire, so the reef stopped building, it grows itself (obviously not so fast). The food in all the restaurants without exception is delicious, in the 20 days we spent on the island, not bored, but only enjoyed. Service is high. Immediately after arriving on the island, you come under the personal care of a butler (here they are called GEM) and continue to enjoy a magnificent holiday without care. All possible problems will be solved for you. Due to the collapse in Dubai (we were flying Emirates), our suitcases only arrived for the 5th day of rest. The hotel made us clothes for free (shorts and a shirt for my husband and a dress for my mother and I) - thanks to the master! Also donated some pareos for the beach. By the way, shoes on the island are not needed at all - according to the hotel concept everyone walks barefoot (do not bring a suitcase of shoes!) Important note: usually everyone tries to choose the side of the sunset for living. Here the side of the dawn is much better - the beach is better, there is no noise from jets and boats. I want to point out one downside for objectivity. Our family flew back in different planes to different countries, the difference between the flights was four hours, but we were taken off the island at the same time. Usually other hotels provide their own longue near the airport to wait for the flight. Here we weren't given that opportunity, I had to buy a seat in the airport's communal longue, which was very crowded and hot and stuffy enough. For a 5-star hotel, that's a strange approach. Often hotels send out questionnaires asking how much you enjoyed your holiday. It's convenient for anyone you want to thank in person. I didn't wait for that poll, so I'm writing here. I really want to personally thank the following hotel employees: first of all, of course, our assistant - the magician Jeanne, she brightened our holiday not only by working very professionally, but also by being a wonderful, soulful, benevolent person. We have been vacationing in Maldives for many years, visited many hotels, but we did not have such a beautiful assistant. Thank her so much! Also a huge thank you to the restaurant and bar staff: Ann - her kindness and smile filled us with joy every day, Shifau, Sushil Dahal, Bayu, Clovia (wonderful!), Jawad, Janara (a beautiful little flower - meteor). Special thanks to Chef Andrea, he prepared a great seafood lunch for us on his last day. It was very touching and very delicious. The hotel will recommend to friends and plan to return here again as a family.

We visited Kanuhura shortly after it had reopened as the Six Senses. We have been scuba diving in the Maldives for 25 years, had visited the Lhaviyani Atoll in 2010 and wanted to return to see more of its underwater treasures. Kanuhura is uniquely located to give you access within 30 minutes to incredible channel dives (100 of sharks including schools of silver tips), a manta ray cleaning station, walls full of live and vibrant reefs. If you want to travel further afield, they run a 90 minute boat trip to the Noonu Atoll with its unspoilt reefs and walls. The dive operation is very well run, two large and comfortable dive boats, a large team enabling them to operate small groups of divers to provide brilliant service for beginners to experienced divers.
The Six Senses brand comes through strongly and everything it stands for. Accommodation is good but other resorts offer high spec rooms and villas.
Food is excellent, great choice of restaurants, very high quality and an extensive wine list. There was the odd wobble with service, but that was to be expected given the resort had just reopened.
Spa is good but the list of treatments is not as comprehensive as other resorts.
Overall worth an Excellent rating, as no resort in the Maldives is ever perfect.

Dear Martin S, Greetings from the sunny shores of Maldives! I trust this message finds you safe and well back home. I greatly appreciate the time you took to post this review and share your valuable feedback. We are extremely happy that we were able to provide you with an incredible diving experience and that your stay was overall excellent. Aside from the easy access to incredible channel dives, manta ray cleaning stations, and vibrant reefs, I completely agree that the location's proximity to Noonu Atoll, with its unspoiled reefs, adds to the overall appeal. Your kind comments regarding our dive team's dedication to providing brilliant service to both beginners and experienced divers are deeply appreciated. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback about the food quality, restaurant choices, and wine selection. However, I am very sorry to learn about the level of service that you received. Nevertheless, your overall assessment is insightful, highlighting that perfection can be elusive in the Maldives. We appreciate your understanding and rest assured, all the points mentioned in your comment are taken very seriously and will be discussed with the team as a learning point for improvement. Once again, thank you for sharing your thoughts! It might be a little too early, but we look forward to having the privilege of welcoming you back soon. Best regards, Bryce Seator General Manager

Thank you Six Senses for a great experience ! Fantastic island, Amazing Beach Villas, more privacy for the beach villas on the windy side, with a very much needed breeze, great staff, one of the best main pools in the Maldives with a well stocked Bar, great cocktails and drinks there too. Very wide beach, great waters. 5th time in the Maldives, one of our best experiences. Stayed for 10 days and never seen a mosquito or roaches in the whole of the island. Well done ! A special mention for the room cleanliness, Absolutely Spotless ! Things to improve in my opinion : 1) just a bit more attention around the main pool regarding hygiene and cleanliness, especially the little side tables of the sunbeds and Gazebo and also look out for garbage and towels left/fallen behind the flowers/garden. 2) The food during the evening meals, although is good quality, needs more guidance through and better presentation and positioning and definitely the sweets need a fridge, you can not have for example mango panna cotta that ends up drinkable as a liquid because of the heat and lack of fridges ! Really considering to pay another visit if and when the food details improve.
Thank you All again for a fantastic and relaxing holiday !

Our trip to the Maldives in November 2023 to the newly opened Kanuhura, now under the management of Six Senses, was simply exceptional and unforgettable. We stayed for 3 weeks and every day was a revelation of gorgeous nature, caring service and genuine smiles. I have visited several islands in the Maldives, but Kanuhura is truly outstanding in every way!
The island itself is perfect, with a wonderful beach all around, which is almost unique in the Maldives. There is also beautiful old vegetation with countless orchids. Very comfortable, newly renovated or newly built, tasteful bungalows where you simply feel at home.
In addition to this perfect island, and the fantastic food, which leaves nothing to be desired, I would particularly like to mention the friendliness, the warmth and the great service. The list of "good spirits" is long - very long, but I would like to mention a few here: JB, Brice, Thapa, Farooq, Aroon, Diba, Ann, Blackbird, Amilla, Quwan, Arshad and so many more. All deserve to be mentioned and praised for their kindness, courtesy and helpfulness. A special thank you also to the housekeeping staff who always went out of their way to make our beautiful water bungalow perfect and put special lactose free milk in the fridge for my daughter every day, in addition to the special goodies they surprised us with every day. What else is there to say ..... except that everything was so perfect and so much better than we could have ever imagined. We'll be back when life allows. That is our goal! We are grateful that we chose Kanuhura.

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at the Six Senses Kanuhura and loved our special time there!
From the minute you arrive and are met on the jetty by Bryce the GM and his team who instruct you to take off your shoes and switch your phones to island time, you realise that you are in for a treat! A barefoot luxury stay on a very beautiful and special Island. We stayed in 2 over water villas which were very comfortable with lovely vistas out to sea. Our Guest Experience Maker (GEM) was Sammeh and he was a gem indeed! Nothing was too much trouble to organise. We loved riding around the island on our bikes - the ultimate freedom. Meals were delicious - we particularly loved the Spanish tapas and the Asian Market and the canapés at the cocktail party on the beach were delicious too. We enjoyed amazing cocktails in the pool, a spectacular scuba dive, incredible spa treatments and the five of us did our first aerial yoga class together which was one for the books! All in all memories to cherish forever on this beautiful island. At night the soft lights transform it into a truly romantic and special space. We left with happy hearts and want to thank the Kanuhura Family for going the extra mile for us, it was so appreciated.

After almost 1 ½ years of renovation, Kanuhura has reopened its doors in September.
We have been to Kanuhura many times, under One&Only, SunResort and now under Six Senses. We were very concerned about the renovation and the extent to which the interventions had affected the beautiful island. None of this has happened, you might think that it was not renovated at all, the nature of the island is completely undamaged. Only in the area of the former Veli restaurant and Iru Beach were 12 new villas and The Point / Sunset Point built. It will certainly take some time for the new plants to grow here.
Many new palm trees were planted to achieve natural shade.
The renovation of the existing villas was carried out with great professionalism. Some bathrooms now have a glass front, so the bathroom is also air-conditioned. The former veranda has been enclosed, with windows that can be opened all around. This means that you can sit "outside" even when it rains.
The area in front of the villas facing the beach has been given additional planting to provide greater privacy.
Most importantly, many former employees are still there under the excellent leadership of GM Bryce. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff is unmatched. The list of TOP employees is long.
There is still no Kanuhura lounge at the seaplane airport. Kanuhura uses the premium lounge of MantaAir, the new operator of the route to Kanuhura. Since MantaAir is a small airline, most flights are currently non-stop flights to and from Kanuhura. There are even two seaplanes with better seating than the standard variant.
With The Point restaurant, Kanuhura now has an excellent Spanish restaurant with great tapas under the leadership of Clovia and the chef Manuel. Opinions can differ about the appearance of this building. However, you have to acknowledge that it is a special construction, a pool on the first floor, where you can particularly enjoy the sunset at the bar when the sunset is reflected in the pool.
The Market restaurant (formerly Al Mano / Thin Rha) has been expanded and offers a buffet twice a week (Asian and BBQ), otherwise you can eat there a la carte.
The Sip&Sand bar continues to be run first-class by Sam and his team. There is also music in the evenings.
Water sports are run by the OCEAN company with the boss Lathee. The equipment is new and very extensive. There are all kinds of activities. A special experience is a sundowner tour on the large, new catamaran.
Kanuhura has retained its own style and has not adopted the classic Six Senses style. We would call it Modern Six Senses.

As frequent repeaters to Kanahura we know what to expect. However we continue to be delighted with this most beautiful island, the exceptional staff and its attentive friendly service in every area. The island with its natural soft sand and its luscious verdant walkways is a delight.The gardeners keep the island and beach well groomed and very natural. Your arrival at Male is seamless and soon you are on your sea plane to Kanahura. Once there your Gem ,management and all the staff make sure your holiday is a true escape . The food choices continue to evolve in all restaurants and caters for all tastes with lovely fresh food and excellent presentation. A special shout out to the baker for his exceptional daily freshly baked bread ,croissants and cakes.! The Point is a great place for evening drinks to watch the sunset and gaze out onto the beautiful ocean. There is plenty to do on the island whether on land or sea, we were lucky enough to see baby turtles 🐢 hatch and dolphins 🐬 in the ocean. JB ,the Resort Manager is always on hand with advice on anything you may need, just ask. If you are looking for a relaxed stay with great food and exceptional service,this is the one for you. Looking forward to coming back. Thankyou P&D

In December, we spent ten wonderful days at the SIX Senses Kanuhura. Apart from the very beautiful island, we most appreciated that the staff was extremely attentive. Everybody, from the GEM, restaurants, Spa, dive center, to housekeeping cared for our guest experience. Also, the public areas like the restaurants, Spa and Gym are very tasteful and convey the right vibe. Food among all restaurants was delicious, but for our taste not enough plant-based options. I also enjoyed some of the most amazing massages I have ever experienced. Diving spots are close by and offer a variety to explore the astonishing underwater world. The only point where we had higher expectations was in respect to privacy, given the standard rooms for two people are quite close to the neighboring rooms. Overall, we had a fantastic time and we still indulge in the beautiful memories. Thanks a lot Six Senses Kanuhura!

Having travelled the world extensively this October we decided to try the Maldives and through recommendations we choose to holiday at the six senses Kanuhura. Spending many a happy family in the best hotels in the world I have to say that this was the best family holiday and by far the best hotel we have stayed in.
The location, peace, calm , tranquility are exceptional, this resort tries very hard to be eco friendly and maintain an original desert island experience. We have since been advised that this is probably the closest you will get to the perfect “bounty” desert island.
The staff are really incredible, as you arrive and depart from your sea plane all of the staff welcome you and send you off and give you a personal welcome, very rare these days even in you 7 star Dubai resorts.
We in particular had our own Guest experience manager or GEM or butler day I say, Lucia was our GEM for the time we where there and she literally organised everything we needed, she went above and then above and beyond again to make sure we enjoyed our time on the island, the nicest part about her was that she was genuinely doing her job because she wanted to make sure every guest enjoyed and maximised their stay. The food and wine was in keeping with a high end resort - simply brilliant, nothing left to chance. The activities were similarly brilliant, pricey but the Maldives is not a cheap place to holiday. We had a private charter to see, sharks, mantas and turtles and we saw the lot. There are lots of free activities held daily and these are good enough but we fully utilised the spa, local store, personalised trips and much more.
the six senses brand already caters significantly for health and well being but whilst we were on the island they had a specialist health, physio, osteopath and yoga teacher, Morry, Morry added a significant amount of value to our stay with personalised fitness and health advise as well as yoga and massage. If only they could keep Morry full time !
Finalising my review - I have to say this was truly a 7 star 10/10 rating from all aspects, location, beauty, health and well being and the best of all the staff from right at the top all down to the villa attendants. You must try this place!
