 Six Senses is a Hotel and Resort Management and Development Company 
        established in 1995 which owns the award-winning Soneva Fushi Resort in 
        the Maldives and manages hotels and resorts under the brand names 
        Soneva, Evason and Pavilion.
 
 Soneva is a “beyond stars” boutique brand of luxury resorts whose 
        “Intelligent Luxury” philosophy is to offer luxuries of the highest 
        international standard but with a sensitivity and local feel in design, 
        architecture and service. Evason is a five star boutique category where 
        attention to detail is also a driving force and whose philosophy of 
        being “Distinctly Different” results in very Innovative properties. The 
        Pavilion brand consists of more traditional four star hotels and resorts 
        but which nonetheless have a unique selling point to differentiate them 
        in the market.
 
 The Soneva Fushi Resort and Spa was recently voted Best Resort and Best 
        of the Best by readers of Conde Nast Traveller.
