Best Villa
Over Water Suite — the overwater product at Laamu is among the most beautiful in the portfolio; the reef edge directly below the villa terraces is remarkable
Why We Recommend It
Six Senses Laamu is the deepest south resort in the Maldives on the IMJ portfolio. The reef is among the most pristine we work with, the surf break is genuinely world-class, and the Six Senses wellness infrastructure is full and serious. IMJ recommends it when the brief combines adventure with consciousness.
Consider Before Booking
Laamu's southern location means a longer seaplane transfer. IMJ plans the flight carefully against international connection times and always confirms daylight arrival.
IMJ Insider Note
The resident marine biologist team at Laamu operates one of the best shark and ray research programmes in the Maldives. IMJ pre-books a guided dive with the marine team — it's significantly better than a standard dive school session.
