Million Air Winter 2022

NEW OPEN I NGS

Six Senses Fort Barwara, Raja Man Singh Pool Suite INDIA Six Senses has outdone itself with its fi rst outpost in India, which is situated within a beautifully preserved 14th century fort originally owned by the Rajasthani royal family. The stunning resort — which sits opposite the Chauth ka Barwara Mandir temple just outside Jaipur — is without a doubt one of the most exciting openings of the year. Of course, being a Six Senses property, the resort features an exceptional wellness o ff ering; it boasts a 30,000-sq-ft spa set across an ancient palace and two temples. Overlooking the idyllic lake lies the Raja Man Singh Pool Suite. The 3,000-sq-ft abode features a tranquil white marble bathroom and a shady private garden complete with a dining pavilion. From $7,200 per night. Contact Rajat Gera, director of sales and marketing, rajat.gera@sixsenses.com, +91 987 300 4581, sixsenses.com

Six Senses Shaharut, Private Reserve ISRAEL Six Senses opened its fi rst property in Israel last August to much fanfare. The eco-friendly resort is nestled among the vast sandy dunes of the Negev Desert, and is around a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Tel Aviv airport. The hotel is home to a collection of breezy villas and suites that have been thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding desert landscape. For the best views of Israel’s rocky Arava Valley and Edom Mountains, consider booking the three-bedroom Private Reserve. This 6,930-sq-ft suite boasts a spa treatment room, a steam room and an enormous 775-sq-ft private pool. During your stay, don’t miss a visit to the on-site camel stables, and take an early morning trekking tour to watch the sun rise over the glowing orange desert. From $12,000 per night.

Passalacqua, Suite Bellini MOLTRASIO, ITALY

Nestled on the shores of Lake Como within an 18th-century villa, this intimate hotel features just 24 suites spread across three buildings. Passalacqua is the sister property of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo — a much larger, equally luxurious hotel that also overlooks the glittering lake. The De Santis family spent $20m painstakingly restoring the villa, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. Within the main villa, you’ll fi nd the Suite Bellini, where Vincenzo Bellini composed two of his most famous operas. The lavish suite features a breathtaking reception room with double-height vaulted ceilings and a grand piano in the corner. There’s also an impressive marble-clad bathroom with a freestanding tub. From $10,000 per night. Contact Silvio Vettorello, general manager, silvio.vettorello@passalacqua.it, +39 334 858 2575, passalacqua.it

Kisawa Sanctuary, Kisawa Residence MOZAMBIQUE Kisawa Sanctuary opened its doors last summer on the southern tip of Benguerra Island, eight miles o ff the coast of Mozambique. While it isn’t easy to get to (you’ll need to fl y to the resort town of Vilankulo and get a boat from there, or arrive by private plane), it’s certainly worth the journey. The eco-retreat comprises 700 acres of forests and white sandy beaches, and is scattered with an intimate collection of just 11 wooden bungalows. For larger groups, the 3,200-sq-ft Kisawa Residence has tons of space, with twin two bedroom bungalows connected via an open-air deck. You won’t have to worry about prying eyes here; the residence sits on its own two-acre plot and has a private in fi nity pool, beach and outdoor kitchen. From $4,890 per night.
