Development Strategy
Tranquil Six Senses Samui nestles on a gently sloping headland on the northern tip of Samui Island, just a 45-minute flight south of Bangkok. Set among 20 acres (eight hectares) of natural vegetation, it offers stunning panoramic views out to the Gulf of Thailand and outlying islands. The resort comprises 67 spacious villas – many with private pools, four restaurants and three bars, including the multi award-winning Dining on the Rocks and an acclaimed Six Senses Spa with outdoor treatment salas and indoor rooms. The main infinity pool offers stunning panoramic views while one can enjoy soaking up the sun and a quick swim at Drift at the Beach and headlines a raft of on-site activities together with many water and land excursion options.
History & Story
Brand Story:
From its beginnings in 1995, Six Senses quickly became recognized as the hospitality industry’s pioneer of sustainable practices, demonstrating that responsibility can be successfully wedded to uncompromised high-end facilities. We’ve grown a bit since our story began, but we’ve always based our growth on the same ambition: to take our guests beyond destinations into new experiences and cultures, so they feel the purpose behind their travels.
As Six Senses expands into new and exciting locations, creating destinations unto themselves, the enduring Six Senses vision remains as strong as ever: To help people reconnect with themselves, others and the world around them.
