Six Senses Laamu opens new overwater villas as first step of a multi-year refresh
Seventeen water villas in four new categories, including the resort's first family water villas, open for stays from 6 December.
Six Senses Laamu, in Laamu Atoll in the southern Maldives, has introduced 17 new overwater villas across four categories, according to an announcement published by Visit Maldives. The resort describes the launch as the first stage of a transformation that will refresh both villas and shared spaces over the coming years.
The new villas
The four new categories are the Ocean Water Villa Suite with Pool, the Laamu Water Villa Suite with Pool, the Horizon Water Villa Suite with Pool and a new Family Water Villa with Pool. The family villas are a first for the resort, with a separate children's bedroom and bathroom.
Each villa has a private pool at the edge of the deck, an over-water hammock, outdoor dining and lounge space, a sea-facing bathtub and an upper deck. Interiors use a light coastal palette with natural materials, and a textured surface inspired by turtle-shell geometry replaces wallpaper, a nod to the hawksbill and green turtles found around the island and to the resort's marine conservation work.
What isn't changing
The announcement stresses that the house reef, the resident marine team and the resort's barefoot pace remain the same.
The new villas can be booked for stays from 6 December 2026. More updates to the property are planned in future seasons.
