BASSETERRE, St. Kitts — Upscale hotel resort and spa brand Six Senses will be making its Caribbean and Latin American debut on St. Kitts in the fourth quarter of 2021.

This marks another inaugural property in the region by a top tier hotel brand for St. Kitts following the opening of the Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour in November 2017.

The new Six Senses resort, with 70 pool villas and The Retreat, will be set on 41 acres of a former sugar plantation in the La Vallee area of St. Kitts amidst hills rolling down to a long stretch of sandy Caribbean beach.

Six Senses currently operates resorts in the Seychelles, Fiji, France, Oman, the Maldives, Thailand, Singapore, Turkey, Vietnam, Portugal and China.

“We sincerely look forward to welcoming the distinguished Six Senses brand to St. Kitts,” said Lindsay F.P. Grant, Minister of Tourism, International Trade, Industry and Commerce.

“Six Senses only develops resorts in the world’s most unique and exquisite destinations, therefore it is a singular testament to the history and natural beauty of the island’s landscape to become one of them. The Six Senses philosophy with regard to sustainability, wellness and premier service makes it an ideal fit for St. Kitts as it complements our own vision and direction for our tourism product as we continue to enhance the variety of accommodations we have to offer to the discerning, experiential traveller.”
