SIX Senses Resorts & Spas has partnered Aitken Spence Hotel Holdings for a US$45 million dual project, its first development in Sri Lanka.
Six Senses Before Galle, a resort and spa with residential villas, will sit on a 10.5-acre plot adjoining Heritance Ahungalla on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, while Six Senses Meeraladuaa will be a low-impact site of semi-tented structures on a nearby 27-acre island.
Set to open in late 2012, the two projects are expected to command average rates of US$400 to 450.
The hotel chain is also eyeing Sri Lanka as the site of its Indian Ocean Regional Headquarters, overseeing new and existing Six Senses properties in the Maldives and Indian Ocean region.
