A glimpse into the Six Senses brand

Eco-luxury that respects nature

Tourists are becoming more conscious of their spending. Six Senses reacts by developing resorts that take care of the surrounding ecosystems. When you stay in an overwater villa or cozy up in a hillside suite, you will be conscious of the fact that your experience helps nature and community.

Peace of mind through legal safety

Every aspect of Six Senses - from spa treatments to marine excursions - is delivered with professional care and international safety standards. That means certified therapists, regulated boat services and well-trained multilingual staff who understand both hospitality and local law.

Six Senses Ninh Van Bay Vietnam

Location: Hidden luxury across the water

This is one of the most famous resorts that is secluded on a peninsula that can only be accessed by boat in Nha Trang. Its remoteness is part of what makes it special, although it also implies that the resort is subject to special legal procedures in terms of transport safety, health provision and the insurance of its guests.

What makes this resort legally and logistically unique?

It operates with a high degree of self-sufficiency, including water treatment and waste management systems. There are legal provisions and strict maintenance of water purification, waste management and emergency response systems.
