Manish says, “Six Senses Shaharut marks a new milestone for Six Senses as the brand enters yet another unique destination. I am very excited for this new opening which will bring the Six Senses ethos of sustainability, local sensitivity and wellness together with the desert culture and traditions. With a passionate opening team, we’ll work to create out-of-the-ordinary guest experiences in a setting of biblical proportions.”
Six Senses Shaharut is set to the south of the Negev Desert in the Arava Valley and features just 58 suites and villas with one Retreat Villa. Designed to integrate into the desert topography and preserve the natural terrain, the villas are built from, and inspired by, local rock and pigments, with the landscaping featuring cacti and indigenous desert blooms. The Six Senses Spa Shaharut includes single and double treatment rooms plus male and female steam, sauna and hammams. On-site attractions include the fascinating Earth Lab, camel stables and an open-air amphitheater. The desert setting presents a host of activities from overnight camel camping to extreme sports, hiking, jeep safaris and wine tours.
