Set to open in 2026, the Six Senses South Carolina Islands is a pioneering eco-conscious resort, spa, and residential community gracing the picturesque shores of South Carolina, including notable locations such as Hilton Head Island, Daufuskie Island, and Bay Point Island. Conveniently situated a brief journey from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, this development marks a significant milestone, forged through a newly signed hotel management agreement by Timothy Pitcher, President of Whitestone, alongside Redrock Portfolio, Inc., and Six Senses executives Neil Jacobs and Omar Romero. This partnership heralds a new era of collaboration that has evolved over many years.
Hilton Head Island, acclaimed as America’s Favorite Island by the 2023 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards for the seventh consecutive year, is renowned for its quaint charm, pristine tidal creeks, and lush wildlife habitats. It will welcome visitors as the primary entry point to the resort, featuring exclusive dining and shopping experiences, and acting as a launchpad for maritime adventures via hybrid yachts or electric boats along the scenic Intercoastal Waterway.
Daufuskie Island, celebrated for its commitment to environmental preservation, rich culture, and seclusion, embodies the Six Senses’ mission of regeneration, a core principle influencing the design of its guest accommodations and private beachfront and forest cottages. Guests will be treated to a diverse culinary scene, outdoor activities, and cultural exploration, including a local art studio, an integrated farm, and a championship golf course offering unique experiences like heritage livestock and equine therapy.
Six Senses Spa is designed as a sanctuary for wellness exploration, integrating yoga, meditation, and personalized health programs that blend cutting-edge science with traditional practices. The development also prioritizes the well-being of its staff, with new village homes on Daufuskie Island ensuring high-quality living conditions for employees and local residents.
Bay Point Island exemplifies Whitestone’s unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship, offering a haven for a select community dedicated to preserving its unique natural landscape. The development features hurricane-resistant, eco-friendly villas that blend modern infrastructure with minimal environmental impact, available for purchase in 2024, promising a serene, year-round retreat.
In essence, Six Senses South Carolina Islands is set to offer an immersive coastal experience that harmonizes luxury living with a profound respect for nature and local culture, promising a unique blend of relaxation, adventure, and sustainable living for guests, residents, and employees alike.
Celebrating the partnership, Timothy Pitcher, President of Whitestone, commented, “Whitestone strives to
nurture and celebrate the critical connection between the human experience and the ecosystems that
sustain us. The thrill of innovation resonates in every thought and design as we weave a canvas that
intertwines regenerative luxury with the roots of our existence. This project is a celebration of Six Senses
and Whitestone’s shared vision to seamlessly blend integrated wellness with the untamed beauty of the
natural world, redefine living spaces with a commitment to ecological mindfulness, quite literally sowing
the seeds of a new era.”
“After a few years in the making, we’re delighted and excited to be partnering with Whitestone and
Redrock in the creation of two special connected communities that speak to the beauty of their
environments and honor the people and culture of the area,” said Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs. “We have
the right elements and energy in place to marry these incredible coastal landscapes with a wellness and
sustainability formula that rewilds people back to a connection with nature, each other, and ultimately
themselves.”
