The full ranking
Barefoot luxury and serious wellness, from a Maldivian atoll to the Omani desert coast. The Six Senses resorts that consistently top the rankings.
Six Senses Laamu (Maldives)
The only resort in Laamu Atoll, in one of the most remote and pristine atolls of the Maldives, with over-water villas extending across a house reef teeming with sharks and manta rays. The Alchemy Bar and stargazing deck are among the best of any Maldivian property.
Six Senses Fiji (Malolo Island, Fiji)
A private island resort on Malolo in the Mamanuca archipelago, with direct access to one of the South Pacific's most biodiverse coral reefs. The brand's signature Earth Lab, organic gardens, and a wellness program anchored in Fijian healing traditions set it apart from Fiji's other luxury resorts.
Six Senses Zighy Bay (Musandam, Oman)
Accessible only by sea, by traditional dhow, or by paragliding in from the clifftop, this resort occupies a sheltered bay in the Musandam Peninsula encircled by dramatic fjord-like mountains. Traditional Omani village architecture and an award-winning spa define its character.
Six Senses Ninh Van Bay (Nha Trang, Vietnam)
Accessible only by speedboat from the Nha Trang coast, a collection of villas tucked between granite boulders and jungle above a private bay. Rock, beach, water, and hill villa categories each offer a distinct perspective on the coastline.
Six Senses Krabey Island (Cambodia)
A private island off Sihanoukville with 40 pool villas integrated into 12 hectares of tropical forest. The spa draws on Cambodian Kru Khmer healing traditions, and an organic farm on the mainland supplies the resort's farm-to-table kitchen.
Six Senses Yao Noi (Phang Nga Bay, Thailand)
On a quiet island in Phang Nga Bay, with villas perched above the water for sweeping views of the limestone karsts that define southern Thailand's most iconic seascape. Longboats ferry guests to secluded beaches, and the wellness program focuses on Thai herbal therapies.
Six Senses Con Dao (Vietnam)
A barefoot-luxury resort on the remote Con Dao archipelago off southern Vietnam, strung along a national-park coastline of empty beaches and forested hills. Pool villas, a sea-turtle conservation program, and the brand’s wellness-forward ethos in one of Vietnam’s least-developed island settings.
Six Senses Uluwatu (Bali, Indonesia)
Perched on the limestone cliffs of Bali’s southern Bukit Peninsula, Six Senses Uluwatu pairs dramatic Indian Ocean views with suites and pool villas tumbling down the hillside. A sky bar, a cliffside spa, and surf breaks below make it the brand’s design-forward Bali flagship.
Six Senses Zil Pasyon (Seychelles)
An entire private island in the Seychelles inner archipelago, with 30 pool villas set among ancient granite boulders and takamaka trees. Guests arrive by helicopter or yacht, and the resident conservation team works to protect hawksbill turtles nesting on the island's beaches.
Six Senses Douro Valley (Portugal)
A 19th-century wine estate in the Douro Valley converted into a wellness resort, where terraced vineyards descend to the Douro River and port wine is produced on the property. The spa draws on Portuguese thermal traditions, and vineyard yoga at sunrise is a signature offering.
