Two sides of the Maldives: which Six Senses island is right for you?

10 July 2026

The Maldives has no shortage of exceptional resorts, but Six Senses has carved out a reputation for doing things a little differently. Here, luxury goes hand in hand with sustainability, wellness is woven into every stay, and experiences are designed to help guests reconnect with nature rather than simply admire it. Two of the brand's most remarkable island escapes are Six Senses Laamu and Six Senses Kanuhura. While both deliver the barefoot luxury that Six Senses is known for, each offers its own distinct personality. Whether you're dreaming of pristine reefs, laid-back island living, or some of the Maldives' finest beaches, here's how these two extraordinary resorts compare.

An island-hopping adventure through the Gulf of Thailand

10 July 2026

Thailand has long been a favourite for island escapes, but rather than choosing just one destination, why not experience several? Island hopping through the Gulf of Thailand allows you to discover a different side of the country, where each island has its own personality, from lively beach towns and world-class diving to hidden bays and peaceful luxury retreats. With reliable ferry connections making travel between the islands straightforward, it's never been easier to combine multiple destinations into one unforgettable holiday. Start with a few days in Bangkok before heading south to Koh Samui, then continue your adventure to Koh Tao and Koh Phangan, creating a trip that balances culture, relaxation, and adventure.

Island-hopping in Japan: discover the country's best-kept tropical secret

10 July 2026

When most people picture Japan, they think of cherry blossom, ancient temples, neon-lit cities, and snow-capped Mount Fuji. But venture a little further south and you'll discover a completely different side of the country. Welcome to Okinawa and the Yaeyama Islands, a chain of subtropical islands where white-sand beaches, coral reefs, lush mangroves, and crystal-clear seas replace bustling city streets. It feels worlds away from Tokyo and Kyoto, yet it's still unmistakably Japan, with the same warm hospitality, exceptional food, and effortless way of travelling. If you're looking to add something unexpected to a Japan itinerary, or simply want to experience a side of the country that many international visitors miss, island-hopping through Okinawa is one of Japan's most rewarding adventures.
