ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST A HOLIDAY
A PARTNERSHIP OF THE SENSES We work with 10 incredible Six Senses properties in Thailand, Vietnam, Oman and the Maldives, all offering the ultimate in barefoot luxury and sophistication Six Senses believe that a resort or a spa is not just a physical place but should offer a harmonious experience that combines the indigenous sights, sounds, smells and textures which make a stay with them a truly memorable experience. Our travel specialists have visited every property that we work with and experienced this approach first hand, so they will be able to give you expert advice on which Six Senses destination is the perfect fit for you.
Our sustainable thinking At Scott Dunn, we realise that tourism has a huge impact on the world we live in, and as a tour operator we carry a responsibility. Which is why we love the Six Senses commitment to creating SLOW LIFE: SUSTAINABLE – LOCAL – ORGANIC – WELLNESS - LEARNING – INSPIRING – FUN – EXPERIENCES. This means that the furnishings and finishes throughout your private villa will be crafted from renewable or sustainable suppliers, and the prime produce for your Michelin starred, dining experience will be sourced locally. Six Senses also try to find employees in the local community, who they refer to as ‘hosts’, and provide a part of their revenues to support local charity organisations and industry initiatives.

Throughout the property you’ll be wowed by the spectacular views, whether it’s from the pool at the Hilltop Reserve, enjoying a drink at the Den or simply relaxing on the beach.
