Since its founding in 1995, Six Senses has expanded to 20 properties worldwide, allowing guests to reconnect and reinvigorate their physical, emotional and mental well-being. Offering meaningful experiences across 17 countries, the luxury hospitality brand ensures that wellness is deeply woven into all their properties. Inviting guests to far flung, yet accessible locations, each property stays true to the natural beauty of the surrounding area and ensures that sustainable practices are always in place. Staying at a Six Senses property affords the lucky the opportunity to see, hear, smell, taste and touch. The opportunity for reconnection – with our surroundings, nature, each other and ourselves – in an effort to enliven and energize the mind, body and soul.
Their six pillars (local sensitivity/global sensibility, responsible and caring, crafted experiences, pioneering wellness, emotional hospitality and lastly fun and quirky offerings) are found throughout each one of their properties. From exotic resorts and spas to private clubs, urban adventures and luxurious residences, a stay at a Six Senses property makes travelers a story-doer not a storyteller. With the ambition to journey beyond destinations into new experiences and cultures, the brand has seven new properties opening in 2023, along with the reopening of Peter Island Resort & Spa in the British Virgin Islands, which has been closed since 2017.
From January through late 2023, please find a list of their 2023 new openings.
