Artist’s impression of development
Six Senses has today announced it is to operate the new Comino hotel. The company describes itself as “one of the world’s leading hotel brands in sustainable tourism.”
In a statement on Friday, Six Senses said that its Comino venture will feature a “resort and themed spa, farm-to-table dining, and an exciting array of cultural, leisure, wellness, retreat, and sporting activities.”
The company said that it will be located on the shores of San Niklaw and San Marija bays. “The two distinct sites will be fully rebuilt within the existing area of the previous development using the least impacting construction methods.”
Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs said, “we’re doing something unique within the Maltese hospitality landscape, which is to create a sumptuous and sustainable lifestyle resort on a reduced footprint to make way for new trees and shrubs and, therefore, a thriving environment for new guests and returning wildlife.”
He explained that “designed by Belvedere Architecture, the 71 low-rise suites will overlook the bay and enjoy easterly vistas across the Mediterranean Sea from their private decks. The natural palette of stone and timber echoes the island’s geology and garigue shrub land within comfortable and spacious accommodations that feel like an extension of Comino’s beauty.”
Full-height openings and terraces “blur the boundaries between outdoor and indoor space. Double-aspect terraces on the upper two floors. Infinity pools on the ground floor serve as private rock pools,” the company said.
Six Senses also said that resort guests will have exclusive access to San Niklaw bay as well as a large communal swimming pool and deck area served by a bar and grill.
