Which Six Senses hotels and resorts let you earn and redeem IHG points?

Six Senses hotels and resorts offer a unique style of friendly, wellness-focused luxury. The two Six Senses resorts I've stayed at — Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives and Six Senses Yao Noi in Thailand — easily sit within my top five stays ever due to their rustic, approachable luxury in beautiful, remote settings. However, as Six Senses opens more urban properties, even those who are used to city living may enjoy the brand.

Stays at the best Six Senses resorts usually cost upward of $600 per night. But you can earn IHG points at select Six Senses properties. And even if a paid stay is outside your budget, you can redeem IHG points to stay at select Six Senses hotels and resorts. After all, InterContinental Hotels Group acquired Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas in 2019 and added the first Six Senses properties to its IHG One Rewards program in March 2021.

Unfortunately, IHG still hasn't integrated every Six Senses property into IHG One Rewards. So, here's what you need to know about the Six Senses hotels and resorts that participate in IHG One Rewards.

IHG doesn't publish a list of the Six Senses properties participating in IHG One Rewards. However, you can find a list of all the hotels and resorts on the Six Senses website.

To determine whether a specific Six Senses property participates in IHG One Rewards, you'll need to enter dates and search for rates on that property's Six Senses landing page. Only at this point will you see whether the property participates.

For example, when I search for a stay at Six Senses Krabey Island, I see "IHG® One Rewards is not applicable at this Six Senses hotel at this time" in a box on the right-hand side of my screen.

But when I search for a stay at Six Senses Laamu, I see the option to sign in and redeem IHG points for some room types.

Since these hotels and resorts participate in IHG One Rewards, you can earn and redeem IHG points for stays at these properties. You'll also enjoy certain benefits if you have IHG elite status or select other memberships, which I'll discuss in a subsequent section.
