Six Senses to set up resorts in Nilgiris and Andamans

Six Senses Resorts & Spas will set up two resort properties in India in the next two to three years. These two properties will come up in Nilgiris in the South and in the Andaman islands. This information was divulged by Sonu Shivdasani, Chairman and CEO, Six Senses recently in New Delhi. The Bangok-based company has identified 2,000 acres of land at a hill top overlooking tea gardens at Nilgiris for the same, he informed. The one at Andamans will be a beach resort.

When asked about the brands Six Senses will look at for these properties, Shivdasani informed that in the Nilgiris the property would definitely be a Six Senses Destination Spa, and at Andamans, the brand would be either be ‘Evolution’ or a ‘Hideaway’.

On the sustainability front, he said that all the group hotels would become ‘decarbonised’ by 2020. He informed that all the Six Senses properties have started producing potable water for their guests on their own, thereby reducing the use of imported bottled water for all purposes. “We want our group to be ‘decarbonising’ by 2020 whereby we are just not zero carbon, not emitting any CO2 in our operation, but would be absorbing what a normal hotel produces otherwise,” he said. As a step in this direction, Soneva Fushi at Maldives will do away with the use of generators for room cooling from next month, he informed. “From next month the cooling at Soneva Fushi will be through deep sea water cooling, where we will put a three kilometer pipe out into the sea at 350 metres depth and pump in cold sea water of 11 degree temperature into a fan code unit,” he said explaining the concept. He added that the ‘Evolution’ brand is also a zero carbon concept on its own.

Shivdasani said that Six Senses group is committed to core values of SLOWLIFE – Sustainable, Local, Organic, Wholesome, Learning, Inspiring, Fun, Experiences - to offer an “experience” rather than a “product”. “We aim to create an overall experience that can be absorbed by all the human senses and with each concept, we aim to instill consistency and harmony between what is seen, touched, heard, smelled and experienced,” he stated.

Six Senses owns and manages brands like Soneva, Six Senses Hideaways, Six Senses Latitudes, Six Senses Private Residences, Six Senses Spas and Six Senses Destination Spas.
