SIX SENSES WITH

Educating the next generation…

‘Grow with Six Senses’ encourages younger guests to release their inner curiosity, creativity and inquisitive intuition to help understand the world around them through natural play and adventure.

Incorporting six dimensions of wellness (social, environmental, physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual) into a dynamic range of activities, the aim of the program is to bring children back to basics in order to reconnect with nature, others and the planet as a whole.

Eschewing the ordinary ‘kids club’ concept, ‘out of the ordinary’ activities are designed to promote harmony with each resort’s native surroundings, good enough to attract even the most reticient joiner. Varying from resort to resort, children can learn how to make their own toothpaste, face masks and edible water bubbles, visit organic gardens to pick produce for a cookery lesson with the

Chef, join beach scavenger hunts or hike into a jungle in search of endangered species.There are plenty of creative and mindful activities too with yoga and meditation, ceramic painting, origami and language lessons each adventure marked in their personal passport with a stamp.

Junior guests are invited to take sustainability one step further with a visit to the resort’s EarthLab where each resort showcases innovative activities to reduce consumption, and support local communities and their ecosystems. Here, children can discover some simple life-hacks to allow future generations to make a difference to the planet. Topics include coral reef restoration, recycling and upcycling, and the chance to join gardeners in the resorts’ organic gardens planting seeds, harvesting mushrooms and learning about alternatives to plastics and renewable engery sources.

Guest Experience Makers We now live in an era of experience.

It’s not just about where you can go, but also about who you can be and how you can feel.

Each Six Senses resort specially assigns a dedicated ‘Guest Experience Maker’ for the duration of your stay to assist in every manner possible, anticipating your every whim and desire from the moment of arrival to your departure.

More than a butler (think along the lines of a personal host), your ‘GEM’ will be responsible not only for providing round the clock service, but for creating your very own bespoke blend of crafted experiences throughout your stay – alongside booking everyday spa treatments and dining reservations. Their insider knowledge will give all the tools necessary to truly reconnect with yourself, others and the world around you.
