Six Senses Laamu to launch Aqua Season 2014
Maldives.net.mv – Six Senses Laamu has announced its second Aqua Season from May 1 to October 31. The season features a series of aqua-focused events including the celebration of International Surfing Day, the yearly turtle nesting and hatching, the popular ‘Maldivian by the Sea’ culinary experience plus Aquafitness. To further enhance these events, the resort will once again be welcoming a number of environmental specialists who will engage with guests and hosts to help increase awareness of the importance of conserving our seas.
The resort’s General Manager Marteyne van Well said, “The Laamu Atoll’s natural environment depends on responsible actions and committed efforts of everybody concerned. Six Senses Laamu has invested in the conservation of this fragile ecosystem and the protection of vulnerable marine species by developing, amongst other things, sustainable marine-related guest activities. Improving sustainability methods are but a small yet important step in building a strong foundation of this national heritage region and its resources.”
Surfing Season at Six Senses Laamu – Surfing Season runs from April to October. ‘Off the hook’ waters would be from May to September. The Yin Yang, one of the most famous surf breaks in the Maldives, breaks on the outer reef of the local island, Hithadhoo, which is only a small distance from the resort. Daily trips can be organized and being the only resort in the atoll, surfer guests often enjoy the luxury of having the waves all to themselves.
International Surfing Day – Every year, around the summer solstice of June 21, the resort commemorates International Surfing Day. It is a day in celebration of surfing and a special opportunity for all to applaud nature for providing us with such a magical environment.
Turtle Nesting and Hatching Season – Between March and July, female Green Turtles return to the beaches of Six Senses Laamu where they were born and lay their eggs. Between May and September, approximately two months after nesting, the first hatchlings start their big and dangerous venture out into the vast ocean. The resort’s Resident Marine Biologist Rachel Lambert, together with a team of guests and hosts are on call 24 hours every day to monitor and witness this unique experience. With the aim to increase awareness and further education, Rachel will also conduct a series of weekly presentations during this special period.
Aquafitness – From July 5 to July 18 the resort welcomes Aquafit specialist Nancy Durrenberger. Nancy will be conducting a series of fun water-based fitness classes for guests. These will include Aquafit, a combination of deep-water jogging and gymnastic exercise, aqua jogging and aqua power. On July 12, guests are welcome to join her in a full moon aqua yoga session in order to de-stress and relax, feeling their weightlessness while floating on the water under the magnificent full moon.
The Manta Trust – For four months during Aqua Season, a team of The Manta Trust will be on site at Six Senses Laamu undertaking research and helping raise awareness and understanding of the importance of these majestic animals. During their stay, guests will have many opportunities to interact with, and learn from the team as they conduct their research. Special experiences that are offered include diving with the researchers on the resort’s own Manta Point dive site, learning how manta ID’s are established, attending the team’s special evening presentations and becoming a researcher for the day.
Maldivian by the Sea – Guests are invited to introduce themselves to the Maldivian culture through the original local cuisine. The resort’s chefs will create traditional Maldivian dishes with fresh ingredients from the organic garden and local fishermen who supply Six Senses with their best catches! The dinners will be served in the Deck-a-dence, six sunken glass-bottom tables set above the Indian Ocean.

Siyam World expands activity line-up with 3K run and race
Part of the Lifestyle Collection of Sun Siyam, Siyam World has never really done “ordinary.” And with two of its most high-energy island experiences now firmly on the weekly roster, families, groups and anyone with a competitive streak have even more reason to book that trip.
Lace Up: The Siyam World 3K Wellness Run
Every week, guests gather at the start line for the Siyam World 3K Wellness Run, where good vibes meet great views. Clearly marked pathways guide the way to a marathon-style route around the island but the rules are simple: go at your own pace, take in the views, and enjoy the moment. Run it, jog it, or power-walk it with a smoothie in hand. No judgment here. Cross the finish line and you’ll earn an exclusive Siyam World 3K Run badge, the most stylish souvenir you’ll take home, and the ultimate bragging rights for completing a 3K on the most epic island in the Maldives. It’s all about moving, smiling, and enjoying the moment.
Game Faces On: The Amazing Race
For families and groups ready to turn up the heat, The Amazing Race is exactly what it sounds like, chaotic, competitive, and seriously good fun. Teams of up to five kick off at the starting point before racing across the island, completing challenges and hunting down clues at every turn. Five challenges. Multiple locations. Zero time to waste. It’s a test of speed, teamwork and quick thinking with a generous helping of chaos thrown in for good measure. And the rewards? Very worth running for. The winning team takes home a complimentary excursion, second place hits the waves on a banana boat, and third place gets behind the wheel at the Maldives’ first-ever resort based electric go-kart circuit. Not a bad consolation prize.
Whether you’re chasing that runner’s high, racing your kids across the island, or just looking for something a little different from the usual sun-lounger routine, Siyam World delivers. Every experience is designed to bring people together, keep the energy high, and create the kind of memories that don’t fade with the tan.
A World Beyond Your Wildest
Siyam World’s summer offer makes it easier than ever to say yes. Save up to 45% off, enjoy USD 150 resort credit, and settle in to Premium 24hrs WOW! All-inclusive from the moment you arrive. Stay 4 nights and a seaplane transfer is on the house — stay 7 and that extends to two guests, plus a floating breakfast for two. And for families, children under 12 stay completely free when sharing with adults. The only question is how long you can stay. Book your stay now.

Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives introduces indoor mini golf experience
Resort experiences are increasingly shaped by the need for flexibility, with guests seeking activities that can be enjoyed beyond peak sun hours, creating a natural demand for engaging indoor spaces and particularly in tropical destinations where brief, seasonal rain showers are part of the island rhythm.
Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives builds on this evolving guest preference with the introduction of its new 8-hole Indoor Mini Golf Centre, adding a playful and interactive dimension to the island’s leisure offering. The space was officially unveiled at a recent opening, where a guest was invited to mark the occasion, setting the tone for an experience centred around shared enjoyment and light-hearted moments.

The indoor mini golf course offers a relaxed, air-conditioned space where guests of all ages can take part, whether as a casual game between families, a friendly challenge among couples, or a fun addition to group stays. It provides a comfortable alternative to outdoor activities while maintaining the sense of energy and connection that defines time on the island, regardless of the weather.
The addition builds on the resort’s existing indoor facilities, including billiards, table tennis, and a dedicated kids’ playroom, creating a more rounded leisure experience that caters to different moods and moments. Outdoors, guests can continue to explore a wide range of activities, from beach volleyball and futsal to badminton, diving, and both motorised and non-motorised water sports.

As one of the first resorts in the area to introduce an indoor mini golf experience, Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives continues to evolve its offerings in line with how guests choose to travel today, blending activity, comfort, and shared experiences in a setting designed for both relaxation and discovery.
