Luxury hotel brand Six Senses is planning a series of developments next year – announcing new resort locations in Bali, Fiji, Turkey, Bhutan, Cambodia, Israel and India.
It will be a busy year for the hotel, with a further two spas set to be opened in the Middle East in the first half of 2018.
Set to open in March 2018,Six Senses Uluwatu, Bali, will be set atop a rugged cliff in Pecatu and will include 103 bedrooms inspired by Balinese culture.
It will include a Six Senses Spa with locally inspired speciality treatments, multi-day integrated wellness programmes and free morning yoga sessions. The resort will also feature multiple swimming pools, three restaurants, a cooking school and an extensive organic garden and farm.
Six Senses Fiji is also set for a March opening, and will include a Six Senses Spa. Located on Malolo Island, all the facilities will be 100 per cent solar powered by the first microgrid in Fiji to use Tesla batteries.
In May 2018, the Six Senses Kaplankaya will open in Turkey. Originally designed as US destination spa resort Canyon Ranch’s first international location, the resort includes a 107,640sq ft (10,000sq m) spa, fitness and healing centre that will offer an integrated approach to wellness.
Three of the five lodges that will make up Six Senses Bhutan will open in August 2018, which will allow guests to move through the spiritual Himalayan kingdom with various stops along the way – with spa and wellness offerings at each lodge.
Six Senses Krabey Island will open in September 2018, with 40 pool villas set around a naturally landscaped 30-acre private island in Cambodia. The Six Senses Spa Krabey Island will feature signature therapies as well as Cambodian healing traditions, multi-day rejuvenation journeys and an alchemy bar.
In November 2018, Six Senses’ first Israeli resort will open in the Negev Desert. Six Senses Shaharut will include a spa with single and double treatment rooms, plus male and female steam, sauna and hammams.
New resort launches will continue in 2019 with the opening of the Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan, India. Constructed in the 14th century and once owned by Rajasthan royalty, Fort Barwara is being restored by a team of conservation experts.
The Six Senses Spa Fort Barwara will be located in the original women’s palace and will feature an extensive ayurveda programme, meditation and local specialities to treat body and mind.
Six Senses is also adding two standalone spas to its portfolio in the Middle East. Six Senses Spa Dubai will open in February 2018 in the Renaissance Downtown Hotel, and will include treatment suites that are each dedicated to a different sense. Holistic therapies and sensory experiences are based on sound, sight, touch, taste, smell and intuition.
Six Senses Spa Manama will open in Bahrain in mid-2018, located on the 9th and 10th floors of the Wyndham Grand Manama. The spa will be set against a theme of a mystical underwater world, with textures and materials inspired by the features and curves of the pearl.
The spa experience aims to mirror the different energies of the city life, from the sensory stimulation and movement of the street to the stillness and calm of a quiet park.
