 Upstairs, 109 rooms and suites, along with 14 Six Senses residences feature soothing tones, leafy touches, and all the right details for guests to shift how a guest feels as they switch off, stretch out, and sleep deep.

Downstairs, the Six Senses Spa brings together pioneering treatments and timeless rituals.
