How Six Senses is focusing on sleep
Working closely with internationally renowned Sleep Doctor Michael J. Breus Ph.D., wellness resort operator Six Senses has launched a new enhanced sleep standard, Sleep With Six Senses.
The rollout has already begun at six of the group’s resorts, with the remainder to be fully implemented by mid-2017. All resorts opening in the future will have the programme in place from day one.
The programme starts with an online questionnaire that allows a dedicated sleep ambassador to prepare in advance of the guest arrival. The questionnaire allows Six Senses to understand the relationship that a guest has with sleep, and based on this information, each sleep ambassador provides their guests with tools and tips on how to improve the quality of sleep.
Sleep Ambassadors are individuals who have excelled in a training program created by a group of leaders at Six Senses under the leadership and guidance of Dr. Breus. They fine-tune the guest room prior to arrival to ensure all preferences are noted and prepare the guest bedroom each evening to ensure optimum sleep conditions. They are also on call each day to assist and provide support to guests.
Fundamental to the guest room setup are items including handmade mattresses by Naturalmat, made from 100 per cent natural materials sourced from sustainable resources and fully biodegradable; Hanse organic pillows and duvets, which feature natural breathing and cooling zones designed to ensure the perfect temperature during sleep; organic cotton sheets made by Beaumont & Brown; and toweling and bathrobes from The Madison Collection.
Guests who wish to learn more about improving their quality of sleep can also upgrade their sleep experience to a package including a Sleep Bag, Valley Forge moisture-wicking linens and a Withings Aura Sleep Tracker/App.
The results from the sleep app will be reviewed with a Six Senses Integrated Wellness Practitioner during a 30-minute personal consultation. Based on the results, the wellness practitioner may recommend a personalised programme of spa treatments and activities to help improve sleep.
The Sleep Bag contains a selection of specially developed and sourced sleep aids including bamboo fiber pajamas, eye mask, ear plugs, nose strips, nasal neti pot and jasmine sleep spritzer. There is the choice of a bathroom amenity from The Organic Pharmacy and the Six Senses Little Book of Wellness, which includes a worry journal section to jot down thoughts that may keep guests up at night. The bag also includes a thumb drive loaded with Six Senses videos featuring Dr Breus, which provides sleep suggestions and professional guidance for better sleep.
Before they leave, each guest is provided with sleep tips and details on how to purchase any of the products they used during their stay to prolong their quest for a good night’s rest when home.
As of November 2016, Sleep With Six Senses will be available at Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives; Six Senses Zighy Bay in Oman; Six Senses Douro Valley in Portugal; Six Senses Zil Pasyon in the Seychelles; Six Senses Yao Noi in Thailand; and Six Senses Ninh Van Bay in Vietnam.
The 30-minute personal assessment with a Six Senses Integrated Wellness Practitioner is complimentary with the Sleep With Six Senses package upgrade, which is priced at US$ 165 or € 150 for one guest and US$ 225 or € 200 per couple for the first night, and US$ 30 or € 27 per guest per night from the second night onward.
