“It is exciting to see the team already hard at work to create what is sure to become an exceptional product and to see how passionate they are about what they’re doing,” said the Hon.

Grant, Minister of Tourism, International Trade, Industry and Commerce. “The Six Senses property will add yet another signature hotel brand to our growing portfolio of accommodations, which includes a number of top lifestyle hotel brands opening in the next few years that is unparralled in the Eastern Caribbean. Furthermore, it will provide signficant economic benefits for the people of the Federation including the creation of over 300 jobs for our local citizens in the construction phases alone with several hundred more becoming available once the hotel is open.”
