Six Senses has announced a new property opening in 2026: Six Senses Wadi Safar.

Set across 49 acres, the property is designed as a secluded lifestyle destination for both Saudi residents and international visitors. The resort will host special events, weekend retreats and extended stays, appealing to travelers interested in history, culture and wellness alike. Its discreet location and thoughtful layout aim to offer privacy while connecting guests to the natural landscape and local heritage.

The Six Senses Spa will deliver a sensory-driven wellness program featuring dedicated suites focused on sight and touch, treatment rooms, a traditional hammam, a salon, a fully equipped gym and a yoga studio. Programming will include guided yoga sessions, signature massages and biohacking tools, as well as multiday retreats. Core Six Senses concepts such as Sleep with Six Senses and Eat with Six Senses will be incorporated to support restorative rest and mindful dining for all guests.

Guest experiences extend beyond the spa. The Grow With Six Senses activity program will be tailored with a local emphasis, offering hands-on cultural workshops by day—mud-brick making, traditional Najdi design sessions, Sadu weaving and pottery classes—so visitors can learn regional crafts and techniques. In the evenings, the resort will host communal experiences like an outdoor Cinema Paradiso for film screenings beneath the stars, creating memorable nights that reflect local traditions and communal life.

Overall, Six Senses Wadi Safar aims to combine culturally rooted design, immersive local experiences and modern wellness amenities to create a resort that honors place and people while meeting contemporary expectations for luxury travel. With its 2026 opening, the property is positioned to attract history enthusiasts, wellness seekers and travelers looking for an authentic, restorative escape in a thoughtfully curated setting.
