The island’s spectacular natural scenery and vibrant cultural offerings create the perfect environment for discovery, relaxation, and festivities.

Thomas Fehlbier, General Manager, says: “Grenada is divided into six parishes, and La Sagesse, which is in the South-Eastern parish of St. David, has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. It is filled with vibrant energy, and we are delighted to be opening our doors and welcoming our first guests to discover this unique location. Our hosts, many of whom were born and raised minutes from the resort, along with the neighboring community, are full of pride and all-embracing. We are immensely grateful to be breaking the mold and inviting the world to experience a side of Grenada that retains an incredible purity and remains somewhat undiscovered.”

Six Senses La Sagesse, the latest addition to IHG’s luxury and lifestyle collection, features 56 pool suites and 15 villas with one, two, and four-bedroom options. Each accommodation boasts expansive outdoor terraces and private plunge pools. The resort’s design prioritizes guest well-being, emphasizing abundant light and space and incorporating natural and repurposed materials into the interiors.
