Six Senses to Open Luxury Resort in Fiji

Six Senses is to expand its portfolio of luxury retreats to the island of Fiji.

Fiji, a small archipelago in the South Pacific, is comprised of 332 islands and nearly one million inhabitants spread throughout the major islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

Approximately one third of the islands are uninhabited, ranging in size from 3,800 square miles (10,000 square kilometers) to tiny islands or spits of sand a few hundred meters in circumference.

Fiji is known for its idyllic crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, thick tropical forests, excellent climate and, despite the small population, for being home to some of the best rugby sevens players in the world.

Six Senses Fiji will be located on a beach on Fiji’s Malolo Island.

The luxury resort will feature 24 pool villas ranging in size from 800 square feet (74 square meters) to 1,950 square feet (180 square meters) and 66 residential villas situated on the west side of the island. The resort is located along a private sandy beach that stretches 2,100 feet (650 meters).

The property will include a restaurant and bar plus a wine cellar and tasting table. Locally inspired and sustainably sourced, the resort’s cuisine will feature ingredients gathered from the resort garden, local farmers, markets and fishermen.

The facility will also include a Six Senses Spa, a gym, club house and kid’s club. Activities on offer will include boating, sailing, diving, snorkeling and tennis.

A full-service marina is located adjacent to the resort and will be available for private yachts.

The resort will be 100% solar powered and the first microgrid in Fiji to use Tesla batteries. In addition, a worm-based septic system is planned as well as water reservoirs for grey and rainwater which avoids the need for a desalination plant. The project includes tree reforestation on site to offset wood used in construction. The resort will feature all LED lights to ensure the highest levels in LED efficiency. 

Six Senses Fiji is slated to open late 2017. Access is available from Nadi International Airport, a 30-minute journey by boat from Denaadaru Marina, 30-minute helicopter flight or 20-minute seaplane flight.
