Six Senses

Wellness, sustainability, and landscape-first resorts—now inside IHG.

Six Senses grew from the barefoot-luxury ethos pioneered by Sonu Shivdasani and Eva Malmström Shivdasani, then joined IHG Hotels & Resorts in 2019. Its best hotels are not generic beach compounds: they use their particular landscape, food systems, sleep programmes, spa work, and outdoor access as the core proposition. The portfolio now spans remote islands, desert, mountains, wine country, and a small number of city hotels, with IHG scale behind a distinctly independent-feeling brand.
