What makes THIS story a little more special than your run-of-the-mill romances is that this boy (Eton and Oxford educated British-born Indian) and this girl (top ex-Swedish model) go on to do something extraordinary together. Meet Eva and Sonu Shivdasani. Said boy and girl who fell in love. And let me introduce you to the Six Senses Group.
What started out as a personal project with a passion for all the beautiful gifts that Mother Nature has bestowed upon us (and a commitment to preserve them), has turned into a global business with the mantra “intellegent luxury”. What started out in the Maldives as a resort for guests with deep-pockets, has turned into an international stage for the benchmark of not just holiday destinations, but for private residences too.
There are, for now, five of the most breathtaking locations where YOU can own a piece of your private paradise. They are:
Don’t pictures speak a thousand words?? These scream “FILL ME WITH LOVE!!”. So as you can tell …. ALL are SUPER exotic destinations that are just PERFECT for a family getaway during the holidays. Or with that special someone, if you’d like to just get away from it all.
When you become the proud owner of any one of the Private Residences available at any one of the incredible islands mentioned above, you become part of a very exclusive group of individuals. Each residence is unique and carefully located to provide the maximum amount of privacy and tranquility, while always being close enough to enjoy the ammenities throughout the resorts (by the way, owners enjoy a 20% discount on all services, like at the F&B outlets and spas). At Soneva Kiri, you’ll also get complimentary use of the Cessna Grand Caravan to transport you and your guests to and from the Bangkok airport. How swanky is that?
And of course, you’ll get to choose whether you’d like Six Senses to rent your property out to travellers while you’re not there. OR … if you really enjoy your private space, and don’t want anyone else being in it, don’t. It’ll either be an investment for your pocket or an investment for you well-being.
The synergy of simple design and luxuriously spacious accomodation at ANY of the Six Senses Private Residences is uncompromised by the highest level of quality and service. Eva is legendary with her attention to detail (and it was one of the first things I noticed at Soneva Kiri … I’m a stickler for the little things and immediately saw the meticulous amount of attention that was paid to EVERY square inch of the property).
From resort to private residences, the structures are built with materials from sustainable sources. They tread lightly on the Earth by applying techniques that have been adapted to preserve the integrity of the environment and the local communities that surround them. This truly is luxury living …. as nature intended it. I call it “Rustic Luxury”. Six Senses refers to it as “Intelligent Luxury”. However YOU look at it, you can’t deny the beauty of the planet when you find yourself at any one of these awe-inspiring locations. And Six Senses has done well in maintaining Mother Nature at her best and helping to sustain all she has to give us.
