Lovers of luxury and wellness, get ready: Six Senses is headed to the Lowcountry.
Set to open in 2026, the Six Senses South Carolina Islands will consist of a sprawling 460-acre property spanning Hilton Head Island, Daufuskie Island and Bay Point Island, and will include a resort, one of the brand's celebrated spas and even residential offerings.
Once open, guests will start their Six Senses journey on Hilton Head Island at a "welcome hub" with a restaurant and shopping outlet, according to a statement from IHG, before being whisked off to the resort or residences on a hybrid yacht or electric water boat.
On Daufuskie Island, guests will find guest rooms, suites and cottages along the beach, alongside an all-day restaurant, a "specialty eatery and bar," a beach club, a pool grill and various programming that occur throughout a visit.
For folks wanting more space to spread out, a few two- to five-bedroom guest residences will be available to book.
Daufuskie Island will also be home to a Six Senses Spa and the brand's integrative wellness program, which includes activities like yoga and meditation, plus visiting wellness practitioners with various specialties. Much of Six Senses focuses on personalization and, as IHG shared, an "approach that fuses scientific advances with ancient wisdom worth remembering."
But it won't all be mindfulness. Guests can also enjoy some adventure on Daufuskie Island with watersports, sailing and fishing, as well as some local culture with studios highlighting local artists.
Outside the resort itself, guests can take advantage of a round of golf or even equine therapy at an integrated farm and golf course located on the island, which happens to be the southernmost inhabited sea island in South Carolina.
On Bay Point Island, branded residential villas will be available. These villas will be hurricane-resilient, modular and feature eco-friendly designs and systems including renewable energy, reverse-osmosis water supplies and helical piling that limits soil disruption. According to IHG, a limited number of these villas will be available for sale in 2024.
The residential units highlight the entire resort's focus on sustainability, which is designed to help protect the area and reduce its overall environmental footprint.
Planned in partnership between IHG, Whitestone and Redrock Portfolio, Inc., there's much to learn about the upcoming resort. But the real question is whether it will open as the first Six Senses in the United States, as properties in Hudson Valley, New York, and Napa Valley, California, are also in the pipeline.
It also solidifies what Jolyon Bulley, IHG's CEO of the Americas, told TPG earlier this year about IHG's plans to launch Six Senses in the U.S. in
