Six Senses to Make Landmark UAE Debut with Six Senses The Palm, Dubai in 2026
The globally acclaimed hospitality leader Six Senses has officially confirmed its entry into the United Arab Emirates with the upcoming launch of Six Senses The Palm, Dubai. Scheduled to open its doors in early Q3 2026, the resort represents a significant evolution in the region's luxury landscape, prioritizing "thoughtful luxury" over traditional excess.
Located on the tranquil West Crescent of the iconic Palm Jumeirah, the property is designed to be a boutique-scale sanctuary. It will feature just 61 all-suite keys alongside 172 branded residences, including exclusive Penthouses, Sky Villas, and nine signature beachfront Signature Villas.
Architecture Inspired by the Gulf’s Heritage
The resort's design is a tribute to the UAE’s marine history. Developed in collaboration with Select Group and designed by SAOTA, the LEED-certified architecture draws inspiration from coral reefs.
- Organic Forms: The undulating rooflines and cellular façades are not just aesthetic; they provide natural shading and ventilation, reducing the building's environmental footprint.
- Biophilic Landscaping: The grounds feature "mini jebels" (hills), meandering valley paths, and palm-fringed courtyards that create a transition from the hotel to its private beach.
The Heart of Wellness: Six Senses Place
Wellbeing is the cornerstone of the experience, centered around Six Senses Place—a 60,000-square-foot social and wellness hub. This facility goes beyond standard spa treatments to offer:
