Six Senses Kanuhura
Six Senses Kanuhura returns as a reimagined beach getaway
DUBAI, September 20, 2023
With its long, palm-fringed, white sandy beach and two additional private islands, Maldives’ Six Senses Kanuhura is open and welcoming new and returning guests.
Located in a pristine corner of the Lhaviyani Atoll, 150 km north of Maldivian capital Male, the island is a short 40-minute seaplane ride from Velana International Airport.
Its natural beauty accentuates the design of the new beach and the reserve. The turquoise waters of the surrounding lagoon promise exciting aqua adventures, while The Point, at the northern tip of the island, lures diners with infinite island and ocean views.
Bryce Seator, General Manager, said: “The long-anticipated moment for the relaunch of Six Senses Kanuhura has arrived, marking a significant milestone in the island’s long history. It has been an exciting transformational journey, and we are very proud to unveil the reinvented island experience that takes guests beyond the beach into wellness, sustainability, and memories that last a lifetime.”
Tropical island hideaway
With 91 beachfront and overwater villas, including 12 new one- and two-bedroom Beach Retreats and the three-bedroom Beach Reserve, with private pools and steps from the ocean, Six Senses Kanuhura is on point for both families and couples seeking quality time together. The laid-back tropical island feel has inspired the elegant architecture, while the interior design takes its cue from the naturally vibrant colours of the surrounding Maldivian nature.
The Grow With Six Senses kids’ club and the Island Hideout, designed for teenagers to spend time with new friends, complete the holistic approach to family travel.
Experiences can be crafted to suit small and large families alike, including family picnics on a deserted island or private cinema screenings, along with various classes and sessions that can be enjoyed as a group, such as cooking classes, catamaran sailing classes, and paper making sessions at the Earth Lab.
Sound healing and wellness
At Six Senses Spa, the oceanic drums and signing bowls create a sound-healing journey. The biohacking lounge offers options to overcome jetlag and also relax the body between dives and workouts, reducing recovery time, and experienced therapists also offer locally inspired treatments.
