Six Senses is opening a property in St. Kitts and each villa has its own plunge pool

The Eastern Caribbean island of St. Kitts is the newest destination for Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas.

The new resort is set on the site of a former sugar cane plantation, surrounded by hills and a long stretch of sandy beach leading to the Caribbean Sea.

All of the projected 70 pool villas and The Retreat enjoy sea views.

What to expect

Guests arrive at the resort through an old sugar cane plantation, passing the organic garden to the reception area before being taken to their villa by electric buggy.

All 70 villas, which feature private plunge pools, use sustainable and repurposed materials juxtaposed with contemporary comforts. Naturalmat mattresses support the Sleep With Six Senses initiative, while unlimited wireless internet access is offered complimentary, energy-efficient lighting and air-conditioning can be adjusted by iPad and flat-panel televisions offer a spectrum of satellite channels.

On announcing the project, Six Senses president Bernhard Bohnenberger said:

“We are thrilled to add St. Kitts to the Six Senses portfolio of resorts in incredible settings. And working in partnership with Range Developments, who have exceptional expertise and experience in the Caribbean, Six Senses St. Kitts will be a remarkable resort. The ease of access from the United States is also a very positive factor as this market is increasingly embracing the quintessence of Six Senses.”

Fresh and local food

At the food and beverage plaza guests have a choice of dining alternatives, with emphasis on the freshest seafood from the Caribbean and ingredients harvested on-demand from the resort’s organic fruit, vegetable and spice gardens and from local producers.

The Rum Shack will offer rum-based refreshments, and at the main pool, guests can enjoy additional beverages. Younger guests can choose fun activities at Grow With Six Senses (teen centre and kid’s club), complete with playground and supervision.

Relax and rejuvenate

Overlooking the resort’s nature reserve, Six Senses Spa St. Kitts will feature a menu of Six Senses specialty treatments as well as Caribbean healing traditions and rejuvenation journeys, Six Senses Integrative Wellness, detox, yoga and workshops.

An Alchemy Bar will offer a dedicated pavilion for yoga and a fully-equipped gym in addition to a spa boutique which will offer products and exclusively developed for Six Senses.

At the resort there are many activities available, both on land and on water. A certified dive centre offers excellent underwater encounters for beginners through to the most experienced.
