Enjoying a pride-of-place setting between the ocean and a protected cove on the southern part of Grenada, Six Senses La Sagesse invites guests to put their feet up and worries down and embark on a journey of discovery, rejuvenation, and celebration. From waterfall meditation to artisan rum and chocolate making, there is much to uncover on this Caribbean gem known for its spices and relaxed lifestyle.

Blending into island life

Designed to reflect Caribbean village vibes, the resort maintains a connection to Grenada’s “Spice Island” heritage. There are 56 pool suites, which combine eco-credentials and comfort using natural, renewable, and repurposed materials.

In addition, there are 15 villas enjoying prime hillside or beachfront settings, ranging between one, two, and four bedrooms, all with generously sized bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. The five larger four-bedroom retreats are located on a Bluff, offering a 270-degree view of one of the most coveted locations in the Caribbean.

Food inspired by the Caribbean and South America and served with passion

Sourced with care, authentic dishes from the land and sea are exotic, fresh, and fruity. The signature restaurant, SeaFire, is where creativity, experimentation, and emotion unite. At Callaloo, the all-day-dining restaurant, guests enjoy farm-to-table dining with the chef’s interpretation of classic comfort food. The poolside Panquai Breeze Bar serves up Churrasco, the South American tradition of cooking meat on long skewers over a fire, paired with a selection of Grenadian rums and tropical cocktails. The ideal refresh is at the Scoop café, where complimentary shaved ice or freshly churned ice cream offers a naughty but nutritious daily treat.

Embracing nature’s gifts

The resort’s commitment to sustainability guides all its actions—from how the land is used to grow herbs in Grenada’s fertile volcanic soil and Eat With Six Senses dining ethos to how it manages its energy and waste, conserves water, and supports community-driven projects. The resort is also planting 3,000 trees and bushes and new mangroves along the lagoon, which is a lively habitat for many species of birds, fish, and other animals.

Taking the slow road to discover Grenada’s plentiful charms

With a reputation for its open-armed, warmhearted welcome, the laid-back pace of life on the island is infectious. The Experience Center offers a unique itinerary to explore the island at leisure, starting at the capital, Saint George’s, which boasts one of the prettiest waterfronts in the Caribbean. This buzzing horseshoe-shaped harbour lined with bobbing boats features an enchanting Time Travel Tunnel with educational plaques detailing Grenada’s history.

Grand Etang National Park is a rainforest full of life, including the island’s adored national bird, the Grenada Dove, as well as the Mona monkey, the mongoose, and the nine-banded armadillo. It is also a hiker’s heaven, from a 15-minute stroll to a more demanding, guided climb up to Mount Qua Qua, or to the mysterious ‘bottomless’ Lake Grand Etang, which fills the crater of an extinct volcano. Abundant forest trails and volcanic hillsides are an explorer’s paradise just waiting to be discovered by foot or e-bike on a personalized tour.

Six Senses La Sagesse opens in May 2024 and is 35 minutes by car from Grenada’s Maurice Bishop International Airport, which is served by year-round flights from North America, Canada, and Europe.
