Wellness

Six Senses is known for their focus on wellness. In Six Senses Kanuhura you will find a beautiful spa with multiple treatment rooms, an Alchemy Bar, a Yoga Studio, and a Gym.

Food and Drink

Shangri-La Hotel, Paris, hosts two restaurants, overseen by Executive Chef Christophe Moret, the only Chinese Michelin starred restaurant “Shang Palace” and La Bauhinia, which offers both French and South-East Asian cuisines.

The Market

Kick-start your day enjoying a delicious breakfast with your feet in the sand. A plentiful selection of freshly cut fruit, all-time classics, healthy juices, and fluffy pancakes await you, along with freshly brewed coffee. For dinner, choose from an array of dishes with Southeast Asian, Italian, Indian, and Japanese influences and signature buffets.

Bottega

Traditional Italian recipes, passed down through the generations, land on Kanuhura’s shores. We’ve simply added a contemporary twist. The pizza oven is the centrepiece of Bottega, carrying the inviting smell of homemade sourdough pizzas on the breeze. Large sharing plates and salads, homemade pasta with fresh herbs from the organic garden, and local seasonal ingredients are complemented with a selection of Mediterranean wines, Italian aperitivos, and classic cocktails.

Drift

Freshly caught local reef fish sizzle slowly on the grill, marinated with fresh herbs from our organic garden and local spices, along with crisp, refreshing, colourful salads, light curries, and seafood dishes. All are available as a castaway lunch on a deserted island, with only a passing crab for company.

Sip & Sand

Relaxing poolside moments and ocean views call for a hearty lunch, with charcoal-grilled meats and the fresh catch of the day. As the sun sets over the ocean, our chefs change the mood and menus to a Japanese twist, with sushi, sashimi, golden crunchy tempura, and fresh seafood selections. Our bartenders shake, muddle, and stir colourful cocktails or freshly squeezed juices to refresh you after a dip in the pool and in time for the sunset.

The Point

Set on an iconic beach on the northern tip of Kanuhura, The Point features a Spanish-influenced menu with tapas and nibbles to share, while the wine bar serves up some of the finest labels from around the world. The finest ingredients are selected fresh from our organic garden, local fishermen, and farmers, as well as from the wider region. For those seeking a more interactive dining experience, pull up a seat to our counter and watch as our chefs prepare and share their tips and secrets.

Sunset Point

During the day this rooftop retreat will provide light bites, comforting lunches, and unrivalled views over the sprawling Lhaviyani Atoll. Linger longer to hit cocktail hour. Join our resident in-house DJ for some laidback vibes and the Maldives ultimate sundowner experience.

Scoops

Try not to get a brain freeze while trying your scoops of our complimentary Six Senses ice cream and sorbet. Sweet treats include daily baked cakes and cookies, or opt for a healthy, freshly squeezed juice using thirst-quenching, immune-boosting, and vitamin-packed fruit and vegetables.

Wellness

Submit to a sensory journey of restoration as nature’s hands restore your balance. Allow the powers of the ocean and local Maldivian ingredients to heal and nourish your skin and soul. Our high-touch treatments are every bit the relaxing spa escape. Most people associate coconut, mango, and papaya with tropical vacations, and these, together with honey, lemon basil, and mint, form key ingredients for the locally inspired treatment journey, while the sounds of the oceanic drum and Koshi chimes shake and reset your energy levels. Instant results to overcome jetlag and dive in straight away can be found in the Biohacking Lounge. Tools include compression therapy, vibrational pain relief, rejuvenating face masks, and more. We say, Dive-Hack-Gym repeat for the best results during your stay. Our treatment journeys start with a little extra “me time” when you use the male or female heat experience journey. The mixture of hot and cold-water pools is the ideal pre-treatment and mind and body soother to get back out and enjoy precious “we time” with your favourite people in this gorgeous Indian Ocean hideaway.
