 Weller Development Partners and Pegasus Capital Advisors, developers of Six Senses Grand Bahama, have unveiled the masterplan for the over $250-million development on the northernmost island of The Bahamas archipelago.

The 50-acre resort community will feature 70 resort villas and 28 branded residences, focused on sustainability and wellness.

The resort, which is designed by Gensler, aims to offer a lush, jungle feel and foster a sense of community among residents and hotel guests. The resort will feature a range of amenities, including a signature Six Senses Spa, several restaurants, event spaces, beach club, destination dining as well as a panoramic oceanfront pool. The resort has been designed to blend with the native landscape and flora and take advantage of the uninterrupted ocean and canal views.

Architectural firm Olson Kundig will work on the design of the branded residences, which will range from four to six bedrooms. Owners can choose between canalside and beachfront homes. Beachfront units will face the Atlantic Ocean, while canalside residences will offer the offer views of the island’s waterways. Both the options will include an optional private boat slip to access the ocean.

“The architectural design and the overall masterplan reflect the core values of our partnership with Six Senses and shared focus on wellness, sustainable design and a connection with nature and the community. We believe Six Senses Grand Bahama has the potential to set a new benchmark for sustainable living and ecotourism models in The Bahamas and the Caribbean, not only through its design, but also through its operations and programming,” said Marc Weller, founding partner and president of Weller Development Partners.

As a commitment towards sustainability, the resort’s masterplan honors the Grand Bahamian culture and brings together the island’s Lucayan heritage and embraces the community’s approach to living lightly on the land.

The masterplan highlights Six Senses’ commitment to creating a year-round community, with the canals and waterways becoming a unique version of the front porch, Neil Jacobs, CEO of Six Senses said. “Integrating intentionally designed and efficiently built structures within the majestic natural landscape establishes a framework for guests to connect or disconnect, explore or escape, allow a lunch to tumble into dinner and access a range of crafted experiences and wellness programming. Sustainability and resiliency measures reinforce the plan, ensuring its viability for years to come.”

As part of its sustainability and resiliency measures, the property is aiming for LEED Silver certification by using locally sourced construction materials, wherever possible, replacing invasive species with indigenous flora and installing energy conservation efforts, such as passive shading, high-efficiency MEP systems and renewable energy use.

Resiliency efforts include beach restoration and replenishment, reinforced dune system along the property’s sea-side coastline, filling upland areas to increase site elevation and building foundations that raise the Finished Floor Elevation considerably higher than finished grade.

The property’s developers have also partnered with Coral Vita, a coral farm on Grand Bahama, who specialize in growing resilient coral species for ocean regeneration.

Construction is expected to begin by the end of this year, with the property slated to open its door in 2026.
