Six Senses has signed a hotel management agreement with Whitestone and Redrock Portfolio, Inc. to open an eco-conscious resort, spa and residential community on the shores of South Carolina, including Hilton Head Island, Daufuskie Island and Bay Point Island. Opening in 2026 and spanning multiple coastal locations, Six Senses South Carolina Islands will be located just a short distance from the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport.
Hilton Head Island is known for its small-town charm, tidal creeks, white-sand beaches and protected wildlife. This will serve as the main welcome hub and entry point to the resort and residences, offering a restaurant and retail outlet. It will also serve as an embarkation point for Six Senses guests and residents to hop aboard a hybrid yacht or electric boat to begin their adventure with a ride on the Intercoastal Waterway.
Daufuskie is the southernmost inhabited sea island in South Carolina. The ethos of the 460-acre Six Senses South Carolina Islands is regeneration, which is central to the master plan for the guestrooms and private suites, as well as the cottages dotted along the beachfront and the maritime forest. The all-day restaurant will be joined by a specialty eatery and bar, beach club, pool grill and pop-up programming. The cuisine will showcase seasonal and local food.
Along with water sports, sailing and fishing, adventures continue on land to encompass Daufuskie’s culture, including studio visits to showcase local artistry. Beyond the resort, guests can also enjoy the campus’ integrated farm and championship golf course, with highlights including heritage livestock and equine therapy.
Daufuskie will additionally be home to the Six Senses Spa, with its focus on integrative wellness. Programming will include yoga, meditation, mindfulness, visiting practitioners and more. Village homes are also being constructed on Daufuskie Island. The new units will be integrated to provide quality residential housing and community amenities for hosts and islanders.
With its “Southern Island Coastal” inspiration, the modular, Category 5 hurricane-resilient, biophilic, and self-contained branded residential villas of Bay Point Island will utilize "state-of-the-art" waste handling, renewable energy, reverse-osmosis water supply, and helical piling to limit soil disruption and lighten their footprint. A limited number of the villas will be available for sale in 2024.
