We had an amazing time at Six Senses Kanuhura. The resort is immaculate and the food was superb. Our villa was lovely and kept in beautiful condition. There was so much to do! We loved the shark dive trip and the evening dolphin boat cruise. Both cost extra but were exceptional experiences. Most particularly, we want to thank… - Zhanna our GEM who made the whole holiday run so smoothly. Thank you Zhanna for your amazing service and being so patient when we changed things around! - Alicia the GM was amazing. Despite running the entire resort she never seemed hurried and always had time to chat. - Finally, thank you so much for the patience and kindness of the dive school manager Elisa. We would never have dared go diving as a family without her comforting guidance. We will be back!

Our heartfelt thanks go to our dedicated GEM Sameeh, who delivered exceptional service far beyond our expectations during our stay. When my mother unfortunately twisted her ankle, Sameeh acted with great care and professionalism. He personally arranged and drove us to the medical clinic for treatment, making the whole process smooth and stress‑free. His genuine concern, thoughtful support and round‑trip transportation truly eased our worries in an unexpected situation. Sameeh’s kindness, attention to detail and outstanding hospitality made our family’s stay warm and reassuring. He is a true credit to the resort’s service team, and we highly recommend him to future guests. We will remember this wonderful experience forever and hope to come back soon.

“Lost its edge a little”

We recently returned to Six Senses Kanuhura for a family stay after an incredible first stay in 2025, which remains one of the most memorable family holidays we have ever had, and the resort had earned a truly special place in our hearts. We had hoped it would become our annual Maldives destination. Sadly, this second stay fell noticeably short of the exceptional standard we remembered, and we left feeling more disappointed than we expected. The Good: The resort is undeniably beautiful, and a handful of team members — particularly Amsood and Vel — were genuinely warm, attentive, and a real credit to the property. Their hospitality was a bright spot throughout the trip. My son had left his stuffed toy animal behind during our last visit and Amsood remembered and brought it to us during this visit. This made my son very happy. What Disappointed Us: Booking Experience: As a returning guest, we were offered a 10% loyalty discount, yet a travel agent was able to secure the same stay for more than 30% less. The response when we raised it felt cold and impersonal with little attempt to make us feel valued. Villa & Safety: We consciously booked a lower room category this time, so some difference was expected. However, the gap in quality was more significant than anticipated — we later learned these villas were renovated from the previous hotel brand rather than the newly built Six Senses villas we stayed in before. My biggest concern was safety-related. There was a large section of wooden decking around our pool where sharp nail-like objects were protruding from the surface. This was fixed quickly after I raised it, but at a barefoot luxury resort, this should never happen—particularly when children are involved. One of my children could easily have been injured. Service Consistency: we missed the thoughtful touches from our previous stay, such as the sleep oils placed in the room each evening, were gone. Turndown service felt inconsistent this time — some nights tea was left, other nights nothing at all. Individually minor, but collectively these gaps made the stay feel ok rather than exceptional. Spa: unfortunarepy, my massage was underwhelming. The therapist's technique felt inconsistent, with uneven pressure throughout — it was not relaxing, and I found myself waiting for it to end rather than enjoying it. Snorkelling Equipment: A smaller gripe, but the masks and fins were heavily scratched and looked quite dated. For a resort at this price point, the equipment should match the overall premium standard. Guest Experience Manager: Our GEM Rajeeu was good overall and helpful and pleasant. However after the first 2 days it seemed he was managing multiple guests and became noticeably less responsive. Welcome Experience for Children: On our first stay, our children received thoughtful welcome gifts — branded T-shirts, water bottles, and activity books — that made them feel genuinely included and special. This time, only the activity book was provided. The gifts themselves matter less than what they represented: the level of thought and personalisation that previously made this resort feel extraordinary. Final Thoughts: Six Senses Kanuhura is still a good resort with a stunning setting and some wonderful staff. But the magic that made our first visit so extraordinary — the consistency, the personalisation, the attention to detail which separates the great from the good, seems to have faded. For our next Maldives trip in 2027, we will be exploring other resorts instead. We genuinely hope the resort can return to the exceptional standard and high benchmark of warmth and personalisation set during our first stay.

I stayed at Six Senses Kanuhura and had an incredible experience. There weren’t many Korean guests, so I couldn’t find many Korean reviews beforehand, but it truly exceeded my expectations. The natural beauty here is absolutely stunning. The ocean is crystal clear, and the snorkeling was one of the highlights of the trip. The coral garden was especially beautiful and full of marine life. The resort perfectly delivers its wellness and wellbeing concept. Everything—from the environment to the atmosphere—feels calm, thoughtful, and well-designed for relaxation. The service was exceptional. I was especially impressed by the GEM Zaha🫶🏻, whose thoughtful, attentive, and detail-oriented care made the entire stay feel very personalized. The staff and activity professionals were all friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, which made every experience even more enjoyable. I was also very satisfied with the overwater villa. The view, privacy, and overall comfort were excellent. It made me want to try other room types in the future as well. There are also various activities available, so you can enjoy both relaxation and experiences at your own pace. I also really enjoyed the Saturday party—it was a great opportunity to relax, have fun, and connect with different staff members, which made the experience even more memorable. Overall, the combination of beautiful nature, amazing snorkeling, and outstanding service made this stay truly special. and the dinner at the point was just amazing! I would definitely love to come back again.😌
