Six Senses La Sagesse recently opened its doors in Grenada, marking a notable addition to the Caribbean hospitality scene. Located along a pristine beachfront with undulating hills, this resort provides guests with a gateway to explore the vibrant reefs and lush rainforests that define the island’s landscape. Not only does Grenada’s natural beauty captivate the eye, but its cultural offerings invite visitors to engage in a rich tapestry of experiences.
According to Thomas Fehlbier, the General Manager, “La Sagesse is situated in St. David, one of Grenada’s six parishes, which has undergone significant transformation in recent years. The area is filled with a lively spirit, and we are excited to welcome our initial visitors to this distinctive locale. Our staff, many of whom hail from nearby, alongside the local community, are eager to showcase a side of Grenada that remains largely unexplored.”
The resort’s layout includes 56 pool suites and 15 villas, catering to a range of accommodation preferences with options of one to four bedrooms. Each unit comes equipped with private plunge pools and expansive outdoor spaces, with an architectural focus on light and the use of sustainable materials throughout the premises.

Six Senses La Sagesse is dedicated to ecological preservation while delivering a premier hospitality experience. The resort is designed around a natural lagoon that serves as a habitat for various bird and marine species. The lagoon was adjusted during development to enhance its appeal for small marine animals, allowing its waters to ebb and flow with the tides, supporting local wildlife.
To further enrich the ecosystem, the resort has planted various fruits and nuts that attract migratory birds and encourage the growth of local flora. Indigenous species like White Cedar and Rock Fig augment the landscape, revitalizing the environment throughout the changing seasons.
Located just a 35-minute drive from Maurice Bishop International Airport, Six Senses La Sagesse is accessible through regular flights from North America, Canada, and Europe.
