Select Group, the global property developer, and its joint-venture partner Emirates Strategic Investments Company (ESIC), have signed a management agreement with Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas to develop the ultra-luxury operator’s first branded residences and hotel in the UAE.

Construction is set to commence in January 2022, with a targeted completion date of Q4 2024. The development will be set across an area of 1.2 million square feet, and the partnership with Six Senses enhances Select Group’s growing residential development portfolio, with over 7,000 residential units handed over to its customers and an additional 3,750 residential units in the pipeline.

To align with Six Senses’ passion for wellness, community and sustainable design, Six Senses The Palm, Dubai, will feature 60 guest rooms and over 60,000 square feet of amenities and facilities that include restaurants, bars, a gymnasium, squash court, kids’ club, spa, library, wellness and longevity center, pools and a dedicated beach space.

The branded Six Senses Residences The Palm, Dubai, which includes 121 penthouses, 32 sky villas, and nine signature beachfront villas, will be managed by Six Senses and have access to the hotel’s facilities.

The development will include various leisure, sports, business and recreational facilities, such as a micro farm, tennis courts and dedicated running tracks.

The project is set to become a landmark in the vibrant Palm Jumeirah community, with sales for the branded residences set to commence in Q1 2022.
