Six Senses The Palm To Debut in the UAE

Wellness, sustainability, and design in natural alignment

The arrival of Six Senses in the United Arab Emirates feels both timely and considered. Scheduled to open in early Q3 2026, Six Senses The Palm, Dubai introduces the brand’s distinctive approach to wellbeing, sustainability, and design to the region for the first time, offering a quieter interpretation of beachfront living on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah.

Set apart from the island’s busier stretches, the all suite resort is intentionally boutique in scale. Sixty one suites unfold across landscaped gardens shaped by gentle elevations, palm lined courtyards, and winding pathways that lead naturally toward a private beach. From the property, open views extend across the Arabian Gulf, The Palm, and the Dubai skyline, creating a sense of retreat that remains closely connected to the city.

Architecture plays a central role in shaping that experience. LEED certified and grounded in biophilic principles, the design is expressed through organic forms, natural textures, and materials that feel instinctively rooted in place. Rather than imposing itself on the landscape, the resort moves with it, encouraging a more intuitive relationship between guest and environment.

Wellbeing sits at the core of the Six Senses philosophy, and at Six Senses The Palm it is approached with depth and balance. Science backed wellness programmes sit alongside time honoured healing practices, forming an ecosystem designed to support long term vitality rather than short term escape. A longevity centre, biohacking lounge, Alchemy Bar, and dedicated yoga and meditation studios are complemented by daily rituals that invite guests to slow down and reconnect.

Sustainability is embedded throughout the experience, not positioned as a statement but lived through design and daily practice. Energy and water efficient systems, waste reduction initiatives, and guest education through the brand’s Earth Lab reflect a commitment that aligns naturally with the UAE’s wider sustainability ambitions, including the Green Agenda 2030. Guests are encouraged not only to observe these efforts, but to engage with them.

Dining follows the Eat with Six Senses philosophy, where nourishment is treated as an extension of wellbeing. Menus focus on seasonal produce and locally sourced ingredients where possible, guided by mindful preparation and a zero waste kitchen approach. The result is dining that feels intentional and restorative, rather than performative.

Six Senses The Palm is envisioned as a place of belonging rather than a retreat defined by exclusivity. Designed to welcome travellers, residents, couples, and families, the resort offers shared spaces that encourage connection across generations. Restaurants, bars, pools, sports facilities, and games rooms are complemented by thoughtfully curated programmes for younger guests, allowing the experience to unfold naturally for every stage of life.

Located approximately thirty five minutes from Dubai International Airport and twenty five minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport, the resort is accessible by land, sea, or helicopter, reinforcing its balance of seclusion and connectivity.

With its arrival, Six Senses brings a more reflective, grounded approach to luxury hospitality in the UAE. Six Senses The Palm does not seek to redefine Dubai’s hospitality scene through scale or spectacle. Instead, it introduces a quieter confidence, one shaped by design, wellbeing, and a long term view of how we choose to live, travel, and restore balance.
