Sustainability and Luxury in 20 Hotels Worldwide

The luxury hotels and resorts of the Six Senses group could not be more different, yet they are strongly connected by a common brand philosophy. Founded in 1995, the group's first properties were opened on tropical sandy beaches, but today there are 20 hotels and resorts and 14 spas around the world - from the French Alps to the metropolis of Singapore to a dream beach in Fiji. At the heart of Six Senses is the value of sustainability, which no other hotel group lives so consistently and comprehensively, and which guests can experience in a 5-star ambience.

The award-winning concept of Six Senses is based on the philosophy of helping guests not only to find themselves and their own happiness during their stay, but also to reconnect with people and nature in their immediate surroundings as well as in a global context, as Managing Director Neil Jacobs explains. The value of sustainability plays a central role: "Sustainability is not something we do, but something we are," says Six Senses.

Luxury Resorts in Harmony With Nature and Society

One concrete measure is the use of renewable raw materials in the energy-efficient construction of the unique luxury resorts, which are designed to harmonize with the landscape and not the other way around. The company also contributes to conservation by producing its own drinking water, growing fruit, vegetables and herbs at each resort, and using regional and environmentally friendly products. The company also plans to eliminate the use of plastic by 2022.

In addition to environmental awareness, Six Senses is also committed to social responsibility. For example, the brand supports initiatives for education, infrastructure, health and clean drinking water at its locations and maintains close and harmonious contact with the local population in order to strengthen the local economy. 

"We have always believed in being a story maker, not a story teller," says the hotel group on its website. This describes the ambitious claim to take responsibility for nature and people while offering unique vacation experiences at the highest level and thus making history. The success and strong growth of Six Senses proves that this combination is possible.
