Six Senses Fiji is set to open on Malolo Island in 2017.

The new resort will feature 24 pool villas, ranging in size from 74 square metres to 180 square metres, and 66 residential villas situated on the west side of the island.

The resort is located along a private sandy beach that stretches 650 metres and will include a restaurant and bar plus a wine cellar and tasting table.

Locally inspired and sustainably sourced, the resort’s cuisine will feature ingredients sourced from the resort garden, local farmers, markets and fishermen.

The planned Six Senses Spa will offer a multi-dimensional Six Senses integrated wellness program that starts with a wellness assessment that evaluates a number of bio-markers. Results allow the spa team to determine behavioural and lifestyle changes and create a personalised program based on the needs of the guest. Created by the Six Senses Spas team along with respected medical doctors – Dr. Michael Breus for sleep, Dr. Steven Gundry for nutrition and Dr. Mehmet Oz for overall health – each guest’s personalised program may include spa treatments, exercise, yoga, meditation and sleep tips and guidance.

Sustainability lives at the foundation of this Six Senses project and will be reflected throughout the resort through active management of energy, water, waste, biodiversity, purchasing and chemical usage. The resort will be 100 per cent solar powered with the first microgrid in Fiji to use Tesla batteries. In addition, a worm-based septic system is planned as well as water reservoirs for grey and rainwater, which avoids the need for a desalination plant. The project includes tree reforestation on site to offset wood use in construction. The resort will feature all LED lights to ensure the highest levels in LED efficiency.

The facility will also include a gym, club house and kid’s club. Activities on offer will include boating, sailing, diving, snorkelling and tennis.

The 66 Six Senses residences offer panoramic sea or marina views. A full-service marina is located adjacent to the resort and will be available for private yachts.
