About Six Senses
Six Senses runs remote luxury resorts built around wellness and sustainability, often in places difficult to reach. IHG acquired it in 2019 for $300 million, moving the group further into the top luxury tier. IHG owns it, and several of its resorts generate their own power and bottle their own water on site, as much from remoteness as from environmental commitment.
