Six Senses will open a beachfront resort in Brazil with a focus on sustainability, wellness and water activities.
The Six Senses Formosa Bay will be located at Baia Formosa in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, the most eastern territory in Brazil. The 6,350-acre (2,570 hectare) site is part of the Eco Estrela Project, and was home to a former coconut plantation with prolific mangroves. These, along with the 4.5 miles of Atlantic Ocean beachfront and ongoing development of additional fresh water canals, will allow for a wide range of water activities on the property.
The resort has been designed with 73 one-, two-, and three-bedroom pool villas; 54 two- and three-bedroom family villas; and 58 three-, four- and five-bedroom Six Senses Residences for private ownership.
The Six Senses Spa Formosa Bay will include single and double treatment rooms, steam, sauna and hammam. In addition to the menu of Six Senses speciality treatments, several Brazilian therapies will be offered together with Six Senses Integrated Wellness, which is based on the preventive principals of Eastern medicine and results-oriented Western influences. The programme uses in-house experts to measure and analyse key physiological biomarkers to provide guests with lifestyle and nutritional advice and design a personalised programme of spa treatments, fitness and wellness activities.
Construction materials for the resort and spa come from sustainable sources, together with repurposed materials, with much of it being produced in Brazil. Furnishings will evoke a natural and neutral palette, with splashes of vibrancy to reflect Brazil’s colourful culture. The spa will take on individual design characteristics and themes, and travel within the resort will be by electric buggies, bicycles and on-foot.
The resort has earmarked an area to the south of the property to establish an organic farm, which together with local farmers and the local fishing community will provide much of the produce used in the kitchens. Six Senses is also establishing a sea turtle research facility to be managed by the local preservation centre.
“Six Senses is thrilled to be developing this fantastic venture with our project partner Greg Hajdarowicz, owner of Gremi International,” said Wolf Hengst, executive chairman of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas. “Our joint synergies and common values on sustainability, wellness and hospitality vision will allow us to create a varied and responsible atmosphere. We could not ask for a more superb site for a Six Senses development in this amazing country.”
