Six Senses will mark its entry into the United Arab Emirates market with Six Senses The Palm, Dubai. The beachfront property on Palm Jumeirah, consisting of a 60-room hotel and 162 branded residences, is expected to open in late 2024.
Coral is the main inspiration for the architectural narrative, with "undulating" rooflines, silhouettes and cellular facades. This creates outward-looking environments that are shaded and protected from the sun. Additionally, according to Six Senses, these features offer a high degree of privacy yet maximum visibility through the buildings towards the Gulf and Dubai skyline. The new property aims to support sustainable development and the local communities.
As the Majlis is a central part of Emirati life, community and ceremony will take center stage at Six Senses The Palm, Dubai. Facilities include restaurants, bars, an indoor cinema, pool, squash court, kids’ club, games room, library, shared workspace, function, and meeting rooms. The social and wellness club will offer a longevity clinic, IV lounge, biohack room (including cryotherapy and intermittent hypoxi treatments), biomarker screening, a gym and underground Six Senses Spa. The spa incorporates natural light to create a range of moods and immersive experiences. Biophilic design elements will also encourage natural circadian rhythms throughout the design, be it above or below ground. Recovery treatments and reconnection programs are key to helping guests, members and residents thrive.
Another highlight of the resort is the central garden. This naturally shaded landscape forms a series of mini jebels (hills), valley paths and courtyards. It will be a hub for activities, including badminton, yoga and football, all accessed via bridges, stepping-stone paths and tunnels wrapped in native beach planting. The main pools and sun decks are banked by native planting, which leads down to the beach.
The residential offering will include 162 branded residences including Penthouses, Royal Suites and Sky Villas with pools. There are also several five-bedroom Signature Villas, each offering a garden, infinity pool and palm-framed views to the beach. Natural ponds and large Wadi boulders will add to the character of the landscaping, while groves of palms allow for private hammocks to be hung.
Residents will enjoy access to the hotel’s facilities and full use of various leisure, sports, business and recreational facilities such as a micro-farm, tennis courts, paddle courts and dedicated running tracks.
