Six Senses LaamuCosy yet chic this eco-friendly hideaway is on the privately owned Olhuveli Island, in the southern part of the Maldivian archipelago.

Add to that a host of water-sports and private boat trips to watch the sunsets and the dolphins and you are in a complete water wonderland. It has its own movie theatre on the beach while the spa’s treatment rooms are disguised as nests. You’ll love it...
