Six Senses The Palm, Dubai
- Location: Dubai, UAE
- Why it’s notable: Six Senses will debut in the UAE with a 61-room hotel and more than 150 residences set along a quieter stretch of Palm Jumeirah’s West Crescent. Designed around the textures and forms of coral, the project brings substantial wellness infrastructure — including a sprawling spa and longevity center — to one of the city’s most opulent addresses.
- Type of traveler who will love this hotel: Travelers who want the latest wellbeing tech and trends but also want to be close enough to nightlife for the occasional night out.
- What’s nearby: The hotel is tucked into the outer arc of the Palm, away from Dubai’s denser core but still a quick drive from the Marina. Atlantis, The Royal and other mega-resorts sit nearby — though few offer this much privacy, space, or greenery.
- Opening: Spring 2026
