IHG has marked the much-anticipated opening of Six Senses La Sagesse, the brand’s debut resort in the Caribbean. With a pride-of-place beachfront setting, verdant rolling hills and spacious accommodations, the resort’s location offers effortless access to Grenada’s shimmering reefs and mystical rainforests. The island’s incredible natural beauty and soul-connecting cultural experiences provide the perfect backdrop for a journey of discovery, rejuvenation and celebration.
"Grenada is divided into six parishes, and La Sagesse, which is in the South-Eastern parish of St. David, has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years," said Thomas Fehlbier, general manager.
"It is filled with vibrant energy, and we are delighted to be opening our doors and welcoming our first guests to discover this unique location. Our hosts, many of whom were born and raised minutes from the resort, along with the neighbouring community, are full of pride and all-embracing. We are immensely grateful to be breaking the mould and inviting the world to experience a side of Grenada that retains an incredible purity and remains somewhat undiscovered.”
Six Senses La Sagesse, the newest addition to Six Senses, which is a part of IHG’s luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has 56 pool suites and 15 villas, ranging from one, two and four bedrooms, all with large outdoor terraces and private plunge pools. Every aspect of the resort’s design has been carefully considered, putting guests’ well-being at its heart, from abundant light and space to using natural and repurposed materials for the interiors.
Six Senses La Sagesse has prioritised the conservation of local ecology while delivering a world-class guest experience. The resort is designed around a natural lagoon that serves as a thriving habitat for a diverse range of species, including birds, fish, and other animals. Great care has been taken to maintain this ecosystem, deepening the water body during the resort's development to allow small marine animals to enter its safe waters. The lagoon now naturally ebbs and flows with the tides, providing a haven for these creatures.
A selection of fruits, nuts, and seeds have also been planted to attract migratory birds and local fauna while gradually advancing the growth of indigenous grasses, shrubs, and trees, as naturally dispersed seeds are carried across the landscape. Native trees, including local White Cedar, Rock Fig, Bluggoe, and Plantain, are incorporated throughout the resort, providing a resilient biosphere that co-exists with the seasons.
