LIFE’S A BEACH

Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas builds a home on Fiji’s Malolo Island.

Slated to open on 14 April, Six Senses Fiji is situated on Malolo I sla nd, the largest of the Mamanuca Islands cluster and located west of Viti

Levu, the country’s capital.

Malolo can be accessed via a 10-minute helicopter ride or a 35-minute boat ride from Denarau Marina.

Accommodation-wise, couples can select from the 24 one-bedroom pool villas, with suites and residences in two- to five-bedroom configurations available for families and groups.

Sustainability is key at Six Senses Fiji. Not only does it run on just solar power, it collects rainwater and uses a septic system and water reservoirs, both of which replace the need for a desalination plant. The resort’s eco-friendly vision extends to its two restaurants, where local catch is sourced sustainably from f ishermen and nearby village markets, and crops are farmed from its garden and local farmers.

Si x Senses Spa’s multidimensional wellness programme is led by medical doctors and includes a wellness examination that’ll allow the therapists to customise a programme based on his or her needs. Guests can expect their programme to include not only spa treatments, but also exercises and meditation plans, along with sleep tips and guidance.
