Thomas Fehlbier, General Manager<\/b>, says:\u00a0\u201cGrenada is divided into six parishes, and La Sagesse, which is in the South-Eastern parish of St. David, has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. It is filled with vibrant\u00a0 energy, and we are delighted to be opening our doors and welcoming our first guests to discover this unique location. Our hosts, many of whom were born and raised minutes from the resort, along with the neighboring community, are full of\u00a0 pride and all-embracing. We are immensely grateful to be breaking the mold and inviting the world to experience a side of\u00a0 Grenada that retains an incredible purity and remains somewhat undiscovered.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Furthermore, a carefully curated selection of cocktails,\u00a0 local and international wines, and Grenadian specialty rums is available to enhance each dining experience.<\/p>\n

The Alchemy Bar, which can be found at all Six Senses resorts, allows guests to create\u00a0 potions and remedies using spices and herbs native to Grenada.<\/p>\n
The transformation of the Lagoon\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Six Senses La Sagesse prioritizes the conservation of local ecology while delivering a world-class guest\u00a0 experience the resort is designed around a natural lagoon that serves as a thriving habitat for a diverse range\u00a0 of species, including birds, fish, and other animals. Great care has been taken to maintain this ecosystem,\u00a0 deepening the water body during the resort\u2019s development to allow small marine animals to enter its safe\u00a0 waters. The lagoon now naturally ebbs and flows with the tides, providing a haven for these creatures.<\/p>\n
A selection of fruits, nuts and seeds have also been planted that attract migratory birds and local fauna, while\u00a0 gradually advancing the growth of indigenous grasses, shrubs, and trees, as naturally dispersed seeds are\u00a0 carried across the landscape. Native trees, including local White Cedar, Rock Fig, Bluggoe, and Plantain, are\u00a0 incorporated throughout the resort, providing a resilient biosphere that co-exists with the seasons.<\/p>\n
Six Senses La Sagesse is 35 minutes by car from Grenada\u2019s Maurice Bishop International Airport, which is\u00a0 served by year-round flights from North America, Canada, and Europe. Dining and spa reservations will be available to residents, visitors, and members of the general public from May 1, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
