Six Senses The Palm

Framed by Arabian Gulf views, this world-renowned brand’s first outpost on United Arab Emirates soil creates space to reset, reconnect and embrace a more mindful way of living. In true Six Senses fashion, the resort is driven by rediscovering balance – something that comes easy when there’s a spa almost half the size of Trafalgar Square on-site. Inside, the usual favourites like hydrotherapy areas, soothing treatments and a state-of-the-art gym can be found. But for those seeking something a little more specialist, the likes of longevity programmes, a sleep clinic and biohacking treatments catch the eye. 

Yet wellness extends beyond the spa here, shaping everything from daily rituals to meaningful moments of connection. Enriching experiences take on a local flare, including the likes of artisan workshops, cultural activities, and adventures out of the resort that centre around the ocean and desert. Another feel-good factor when staying are the gratifying sustainability credentials; the resort has been designed to be as efficient as possible, with dining venues sourcing their produce as close as possible, and the Earth Lab (a feature of all Six Senses properties) sheds light on Dubai’s wider sustainability initiatives and lets guests get hands-on with environmental projects.
