Ancient wonders for young hearts

September 22, 2023 - Picasso famously said: “Every child is an artist”. Check into Six Senses and let budding artisans, curators, and conservationists take the stage as they manifest their imagination into reality through hands-on, fun-filled adventures.

Grow With Six Senses entices our younger guests’ innate sense of curiosity and may just reawaken a sense of discovery in young-at-heart parents too. As the kids embark through the six dimensions of wellness; social, environmental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual; they reconnect with nature and gain life skills through play while the parents relax or join in the adventure (as long as it’s not a parent-free zone!).

Activities vary from resort to resort to fully immerse in the destination, but the focus remains the same: out-of-the-ordinary experiences. As kids journey through each activity, they’ll get a stamp for their personal Six Senses passport.

Dive in and make waves at Six Senses Laamu

Six Senses Laamu, Maldives, launched the Sustainability Camp last year, covering the topics of Zero Waste, Home Grown and Nature Conservation. It aims to give teenage guests and their families insights into the sustainability initiatives and techniques used for the resort’s operations and provide a skillset for the daily improvements they can make at home, striving towards a more sustainable way of life.

Get crafty with Zero Waste and make coconut oil or soap. Home Grown invites all to a seed-to-farm journey to learn how to plant microgreens using compost and watch them grow.
