Six Senses Signs First Project in Central America

Six Senses has teamed up with The Canyon Group to develop a resort in Papagayo, Costa Rica.

The Six Senses Papagayo will be located within the 2,300-acre Papagayo Peninsula on a site that stretches from the highest point, offering 360-degree panorama of the Guanacaste archipelago, to a forested beachfront dotted with 41 secluded pool villas. There will also be 31 residences available for sale.

The property is located 40 minutes from Liberia International Airport, which offers daily flights to and from just about every major metropolitan hub in the United States, as well as Canada and Latin American countries.

The resort will feature an extensive wellness programme, spa, fitness center, and an organic farm growing fruits, vegetables and herbs inspired by the chef’s menus and signature spa treatments.

“We are very excited about our first project in Central America,” said Chief Executive Officer Neil Jacobs of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas. “Our own values epitomize Costa Rica’s commitment to sustainability and the essence of pura vida (pure life) culture. Everything starts with the question of preserving the natural and cultural heritage of Costa Rica while enhancing social and economic benefits. If we can’t answer it, we don’t do it.”

Six Senses Papagayo is owned and under development by The Canyon Group based in Larkspur, California. The Canyon Group either acquires or develops boutique, ultra-luxury resorts in unique destinations. Among the group’s core portfolio are the famed Amangiri resort in Utah and Amangani resort in Wyoming. The Canyon Group has teamed up with the Garnier Group, one of Costa Rica’s best known and most reputable development companies to develop the resort.

John Heah, the award-winning, London-based architect, has been chosen for the project.
