Six Senses Kanuhuraa offers a variety of villas with private pools, open-air showers, and direct beach access, allowing honeymooners to relax in luxury.

It is undoubtedly one of the finest private resorts in the Maldives.

Welcome to a slice of paradise – our most memorable family vacation yet! From the moment our sea plane touched down on this idyllic island, we were awestruck by its breathtaking beauty. The picturesque setting was beyond anything we could have imagined, and my photos hardly do it justice. But what truly sets Kanuhura apart as a world-class resort is its incredible staff. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel like Norwegian royalty throughout our stay. The journey begins right after leaving the airport at Male, where Kanuhura has a comfortable lounge in the seaplane terminal – a welcome haven after a long flight, complete with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, snacks, and drinks. The seaplane ride to the island, about 40 minutes, offers stunning views of the archipelago, and I couldn’t imagine staying at any other resort. Our accommodation, initially a water villa, was upgraded to a Grand Beach Pool villa. Located on the sunset side with a broader beach, it was absolutely perfect. Villa 131/132, where we stayed, is arguably the best on the island, conveniently next to the Iru beach bar in a gorgeous area. The villa’s spaciousness (250sqm) and separate bedrooms were impressive. The outdoor bathroom, with its night sky views, provided an unforgettable showering experience. Housekeeping did an outstanding job, maintaining everything impeccably. The inclusion of bicycles with each villa added a charming way to explore the island, from fruit bats to orchids. The breakfast buffet was a delight, featuring an array of regional fruits like mangoes, mangosteens, rambutan, and passion fruits. Our package included meals at the resort’s three main restaurants, where the staff, especially Mr. Raappe, an exemplary waiter, made us feel like part of a family. In conclusion, Kanuhura is a superbly managed luxury resort, excelling in quality and service. My family adored every moment of our stay and highly recommends it. Kudos to the entire team at Kanuhura for setting such a high standard in hospitality. I eagerly look forward to our next visit.

This resort is one of the best I have ever stayed at. It is perfect for families with kids, but my partner and I also enjoyed our time here. While it may not be the ideal spot for snorkeling enthusiasts, it is perfect for divers like us. We had diving and snorkeling excursions almost every day, and the prices were reasonable. The rooms were exceptionally clean, and the food was fantastic with reasonable prices. The buffet had different themes every day, so you never got bored. The seafood was incredibly fresh. The game room was always clean and tidy, and despite not being a large resort, everyone had plenty of personal space. Lastly, the water quality on the water villa side was better, and we even spotted some large stingrays swimming around.

This resort is absolutely stunning, possibly even more breathtaking than the photographs suggest. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure our comfort. Being on half board, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of restaurant options available and never felt hungry during the day thanks to the extensive and delicious breakfast choices. The main buffet offered a diverse theme each evening, ensuring a new dining experience every night. Some nights were more impressive than others, with the outdoor 'meat' evening being particularly outstanding. The meals at the Italian and Asian restaurants were consistently remarkable. For our 25th anniversary, we were fortunate to receive an upgrade to a beach pool villa, which exceeded our expectations. The villa was equipped with everything we could wish for, including sarongs, a beach bag, and quality toiletries. The outdoor shower in the bathroom and the view were simply magical. The resort's facilities, including squash courts and an air-conditioned games room, added to our enjoyment. Exploring the resort on bikes was an enjoyable experience. The additional island, accessible at any time, felt like a secluded paradise, often giving us the sense that we had it all to ourselves. The snorkeling here was exceptional, offering an array of marine life in close proximity to the shore, which was perfect for me as a less confident swimmer. Our stay was filled with romantic and special memories. The resort's 5-star quality is matched by a relaxed and understated atmosphere. The laid-back vibe was evident, as most guests, including ourselves, were comfortable being barefoot and dressing casually for dinner. We are definitely planning to return, and we met other couples who had visited multiple times, affirming it as one of the best resorts in the Maldives.
