This December, Six Senses Laamu is set to unveil 17 new overwater villas across four new categories, marking the beginning of an exciting transformation project for beloved Maldivian resort
Paradise is set to become just that much dreamier. The house reef, the resident marine team, and the barefoot pace that brings guests back year after year remain central to life at Laamu in the Maldives. Opening in December, the new overwater villas simply give returning guests more room and more light to enjoy them in.
Enhancing an already incredible property, four new overwater villa categories will be available to guests, with an elevated look that still feels distinct to Laamu. The villas have been subtly reconfigured to optimise space and experience, ensuring each guest has maximum space to relax.
Panoramic windows turn the ocean into living art on the walls, while generous spaces make a compelling case for staying in. Each has a private 18 sqm pool at the edge of the deck, a hammock slung over the water, expansive deck with outdoor dining and lounge areas, a bathtub facing the sea, and an upper deck with views across the lagoon.
Two new Family Water Villas with Pool are the first of their kind at Laamu, designed especially for ocean-loving little ones. A dedicated children’s bedroom and its own bathroom give children a space of their own, while the pool and deck keep everyone together. Days can fill up with the resort’s Junior Marine Biologist programme, then end with dinner on the deck as the sun sets.
Among the newly introduced villas are the Ocean Water Villa Suites with Pool and Laamu Water Villa Suites with Pool, each offering generously spaced interiors with panoramic windows, dedicated seating and dining areas, expanded wardrobes, ocean-view bathtubs and spacious outdoor decks. The Horizon Water Villa Suite with Pool also offers expansive views towards the horizon, best watched from the upper deck with a coffee (or glass of bubbles, of course).
The new villa categories are available for stays from December 6, 2026. Rates start from $2,185 (approx. £1,621) in an Ocean Water Villa Suite with Pool on a B&B basis. Find out more via sixsenses.com
