Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas is set to open its third European spa resort on the Spanish island of Ibiza in 2020.

The group has signed a management deal with Beach Box Ibiza – which is developing the resort – to operate the property as a part resort, part residential project.

According to Neil Jacobs, Six Senses’ chief executive, the development will be a “benchmark in innovative design.”

“Our first resort, spa and residential project in Ibiza will celebrate wellness, sustainability and community spirit,” Jacobs said.

“Every aspect of the property’s physical design will facilitate the feeling of community and the activities and amenities offered to guests will focus on learning and experience.

“This third European property complements our sister resort in Portugal’s Douro Valley and a residential project in Courchevel, France – and of course the seven spas in France, Greece, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.”

Six Senses Ibiza will offer 134 guest accommodations on a 25-acre (10-hectare) site and across three different types of suites – townhouse suites, deluxe pool suites with private decks and beach cave suites. There are also two six-bedroom mansions for an “VIP experience.”

The residential element consists of nine private villas, located above the resort with seaviews.

The wellness and spa facilities have been divided into two distinct areas – a spa and a wellness learning centre.

According to Jacobs, the “one of a kind” spiritual learning centre will offer an “innovative approach to optimising health which includes fitness, nutrition, education, yoga, sleep, mindfulness and more.”

“Guests will be able to select how far they want to go in pioneering their health and wellness practices,” he added.

While the exact details of the spa are yet to be confirmed, it will feature a full range of treatment rooms, a communal treatment lounge and an oxygen bar, and will include Gharieni's MO1 series spa tables.

The spa will extend beyond its four walls, with outdoor massage catacombs, a Watsu pool, a labyrinth and direct access to the organic gardens where ingredients for the spa botanicals and dining outlets will be grown.

In addition to the team of in-house therapists, an ongoing programme of visiting practitioners will be introduced, ensuring guests are given the opportunity to experience the latest teachings and programmes.

There will also be a spa café and juice bar, yoga and changing facilities and an extensive health and fitness center.
