Leading wellness travel operator Six Senses has announced it is to make its debut in California's wine and weed capital: the Napa Valley.
Six Senses is to transform the Aetna Springs resort facility in Napa County, home of some of the most sought-after cabernets in the world.
The mineral springs resort was founded in the late 1800s but has fallen into disrepair.
It had thrived until the 1970s as a natural spa destination, with Aetna Mineral Water also sold.
“Six Senses Napa Valley will marry the region’s beauty with the unique natural resources of the original Aetna Springs,” said Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs in a press release.
“Working with Weller Development Partners, Pegasus Capital Advisors, and committed sustainability partners, we have the right energy in place to revitalize this precious jewel in the Napa crown as a destination to rewild our guests back to a connection with nature, each other, and ultimately themselves.”
I'm not sure what rewild means, but I'm sure you get the message.
The revamped resort is a two-hour drive from San Francisco and Six Senses says existing structures will be sensitively preserved, and the landscape regenerated.
There will be a choice of 95 rooms and suites, including 10 tent-style structures. There will also be 16 residences, which will be serviced by Six Senses and, alongside all the resort amenities, enjoy access to a dedicated lounge.
Programs will include yoga, meditation, mindfulness, visiting practitioners, and various treatments and therapies.
The historic mineral springs will be revived with indoor and outdoor thermal experiences and bathing.
So like Evian, but surrounded by vines.
There will be four food and beverage outlets and Well will entice guests to an informal al fresco space to celebrate the history of Aetna Springs with mineral water bottling and distilling. To dilute all that water will be the region's best wines, including Napa’s famed cabernets.
Six Senses operates 20 hotels and resorts in 17 countries and has signed a further 34 properties into its development pipeline.
