This week marks 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 accommodation, 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.
Thomas Fehlbier, General Manager, says: “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.
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
neighboring community, are full of pride and all-embracing. We are immensely grateful
to be breaking the mold 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.
Grenadian farm-to-table experiences like no other
The Experience Center at the resort offers unique
experiences to connect guests with Grenada's Spice Island heritage and learn
about its culture and way of life. This includes exciting activities like
farm-to-table cooking, Caribbean-style high tea, waterfall dips, rainforest
hikes and visits to dramatic coastlines. Each represents the convergence of
tradition, sustainability, culture and community and is designed for visitors
of all ages.
One bespoke tour offers behind-the-scenes farming
experience, where guests can meet Theresa Marryshow, the Head of Grenada's
local women's farming organization Grenrop. Guests can learn about
Grenrop’s commitment to community development while enjoying culinary delights
that reflect the essence of Grenadian cuisine.
Grenada is famous for providing one of the richest
world-renowned cocoa beans, and a trip to the island is incomplete without
exploring its internationally award-winning organic dark chocolate. The
excursion provides an opportunity to experience the essence of Grenada's
chocolate-making tradition, culture and history from a farmer's perspective.
Authentic dishes and delicacies from the land and
sea
Featuring three restaurants, two bars, a bakery and
destination dining that incorporates the Eat With Six Senses ethos, Six Senses
La Sagesse menus are inspired by Caribbean and South American cuisine while
keeping well-being in mind. Led by Executive Chef Jason Miller, every dish is
brought to life with bold flavors using local produce grown in the fertile
volcanic Grenadian soil. The resort team is committed to growing on-site and
working with local suppliers to serve up fresh ingredients, maintaining a closeness
to the surrounding community and reducing the resort’s carbon impact.
Furthermore, a carefully curated selection of cocktails, local and
international wines, and Grenadian specialty rums is available to enhance each
dining experience.
Where age-old traditions and modern rituals meet
The spa is designed to leverage the abundance of
fragrant spices with medicinal healing properties, along with local community
knowledge, age-old traditions, and indigenous plants and herbs, to create
innovative wellness programs that focus on sleep, movement, yoga, and
longevity. The spa offers high-tech and high-touch therapies, guided by
in-house experts and Visiting Practitioners, to help guide guests on a personal
path to growth and reconnection.
Guests can indulge in bespoke treatments, including
the Caribbean Cleansing Ritual, infused with island culture to promote balance.
This ritual is topped off with a refreshing cup of local bush tea, providing
the perfect end to a perfect experience. The Alchemy Bar, which can be found at
all Six Senses resorts, allows guests to create potions and remedies using
spices and herbs native to Grenada.
The transformation of the lagoon
Six Senses La Sagesse prioritizes 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 that 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.
Six Senses La Sagesse is 35 minutes by car from
Grenada’s Maurice Bishop International Airport, which is served by year-round
flights from North America, Canada, and Europe.
