You would think with its white – and pink! – sandy shores, laid-back lifestyle and calm, translucent waters, that the Bahamas would make for an obvious choice for the leading luxury wellness brand Six Senses. So it may come as a surprise to hear that the brand has just unveiled the first images at the Six Senses Grand Bahama, its first foray onto the West Indies islands.

In a first look released by the developers, Weller Development Partners and Pegasus Capital Advisors, the 50-acre resort of Six Senses Grand Bahama is set to encompass 70 resort villas – including 45 waterfront and canal-side villas – and 28 branded residences, along with a signature Six Senses Spa, multiple restaurants, a beach club and a panoramic oceanfront pool. Construction is set to begin at the end of 2024 with a projected opening in 2026, and is estimated to cost more than $250m.
Designed by award-winning architecture firm Gensler, the resort will focus on sustainability with careful reverence for the natural landscape and honoring the Grand Bahamian culture, carefully marrying the island’s Lucayan heritage and embracing the local community’s approach to living lightly on the land.

“Integrating intentionally designed and efficiently built structures within the majestic natural landscape establishes a framework for guests to connect or disconnect, explore or escape, allow a sun-soaked lunch to tumble into dinner, and access a whole range of crafted experiences and wellness programming. Sustainability and resiliency measures reinforce the plan, ensuring its viability for years to come.”
Ensuring luxury and sustainability in equal measure, the resort village will host an earth lab, marine research and dive center that will be focused on coastal resiliency, native plantings and land restoration. Additional land and sea areas will be designated as preserves, further enhancing the local biosphere.
