Six Senses Laamu is a truly special, magical place to be. It is more than a holiday in the traditional sense. Yes, your every material need is catered for in a unique and very pampering way! But so much more than that, it is an uplifting and indulgent experience for the mind and soul. The influence of the West is present in all the many amenities and activities on offer, the exemplary standards of service (our Guest Entertainment Manager, Shihan, couldn’t do enough for us and looked after us like family throughout our stay - truly exceptional), food and beverages etc. always excellent. Our housekeeper, Ali, also went well beyond what would be expected to make our stay comfortable and seamless, spoiling us every day with all the personal touches and his beautiful smile. But more than this - perhaps given the proximity to India and Thailand - is the influence of the East. You feel “held” somehow in this spirit of wellness, joy and freedom. The staff become family. The warmth of the smiles all around you, the sincerity of feeling, this hotel genuinely cares about you and your personal experience with them. Special mention to Abdullah - like a little angel of comfort and support he always seemed to appear at the perfect time to bring comfort and support. What a wonderful, joyful man! It is because this hotel cares for its own staff, which is rare and wonderful to see and feel. The Spa also deserves an extra special mention as again, your every physical need is catered for with a plethora of incredible treatments given by top-class practitioners like Anil, Benita and Ecca. As you would expect from a 5 star resort. But, again, it is so much more than a spa. Yoga and meditation are available every day - as much or as little as you would like to do - with daily complimentary sessions. The beautiful spirit that is Sarath Babu overlooks all of it and helped me to reconnect and stabilise at a difficult time in my life. Just a uniquely gifted, generous, wise, caring and insightful man. Even going to the lengths of making me a complimentary, personal meditation recording to take with me on my journey back home. Incredible! With all of this and their respect for nature - and my God the nature they have! It is an just utterly breathtaking location. But is treated with respect and, whilst giving you every material comfort you could want with a “fun and quirky” twist, it is down to earth and simple in approach. Not opulent or gaudy. Which I just loved, Sustainability is given top priority. Not just a marketing tool like so many places. All in all a magical experience that I have taken home with me and will never forget. I will return - with family and also alone - without a doubt. Paradise. Thank you.
