Six Senses, the name is already telling it all. Six Senses offers a haven engaging all your senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, and the often-overlooked sixth sense: intuition. This unique destination harmonizes body, mind, and spirit, crafting an experience where wellness and luxury seamlessly intertwine.
A Vision Brought to Life
Imagined by British hoteliers Sonu and Eva Shivdasani, Six Senses took shape with its first resort in Thailand in 2004: Six Senses Samui. Placing wellness at its core, Six Senses developed concepts blending luxurious locations, sensual spas, and connections with nature and culture. The company soon expanded and was passed over to Pegasus Capital before joining IHG in 2019. With over 20 resorts and residences across the globe, as well as five Six Senses Spas in Europe, the brand has continued to grow.
Holistic Wellness Journeys
Guests come to Six Senses to revitalize and regain their strength, immunity, hormonal balance, and spiritual health. They can reenergize with biohacking programs developed by renowned experts, rejuvenate with longevity practices, or realign through energetic techniques such as heart-opening chakra sessions, water immersion accompanied by Tibetan bowls. Riding on the latest wellness trends, Six Senses Spa helps women to sync back to their rhythm with prenatal, menopause, and postnatal treatments. Even guests’ favorite pets may enjoy special treatment with facial masks and paw care.
Commitment to Sustainability
Aligned with its commitment to sustainability, several resorts offer farm-to-table dining experiences — with eggs and goat milk produced on-site at Six Senses Yao Noi in Thailand and herbal teas grown at Six Senses Ibiza. Six Senses even embraced a garden-to-spa approach, so to speak, with the Alchemy Bar in Douro Valley, Portugal, where clients learn from expert herbalists on how to use herbs for home and beauty remedies. The group also launched several initiatives, including the Earth Lab, where properties showcase their sustainable practices, and the “Plastic-Free 2022” initiative, documented in a playbook of 82 best practices.
Adventures Beyond Imagination
Each Six Senses destination offers unique and exhilarating adventures. Whether it’s husky sledding in Courchevel, deep-sea diving, surfing the Pacific waves, or engaging in cultural immersions, guests are guaranteed unforgettable experiences.
From its visionary beginnings to its global footprint, Six Senses has consistently written a smart, soulful story—one where wellness isn’t just a service, but a way of life. As pioneers and thought leaders, they’ve redefined what it means to travel with intention, to live with balance, and to connect more deeply—with ourselves, with others, and with the planet. This is more than hospitality—it’s a hotel story where the sixth sense leads the way.
