Six Senses Shaharut

The site is wonderful, the architecture is sublime, the sun is warm, and the nights are cold. The sky, the stars—everything is perfect. It is by far, and I mean very far, the only truly beautiful hotel in Israel. At war time with team member in reserve duty and one hostage in Gaza it is a real achievement !

We had the privilege of visiting Six Senses (our 2nd after Zighy Bay) for a weekend in March. The experience at the property echoes its architecture and design: subdued and intimate. We arrived in awful weather which only enhanced our experience; it returned to desert perfection the next day making the arrival storm that much more interesting. Senior level staff is imported, thankfully. Junior level staff is dominated by Israeli youth in their post - service work program. We found everyone to be, somewhat unexpectedly, gracious and accommodating. Rooms were safari-esque; beige and white, well-stocked and soothingly blending in with the surrounding environment. Much care has been taken with artwork and design throughout the property. Food was a high-point for both quality and selection and we found kitchen staff wonderfully accommodating to dietary restrictions. If there is something to distinguish Six Senses generally, it is that certain staff members share in the trip alongside you and remain imprinted in the memory of the experience. We thank the intriguingly wonderful Matan for real connection (and ice bath strategy) and Matthew for adding a bit of oenophilic sparkle to our trip. We highly recommend the property to any regional itinerary.

In every way Outstanding The location of the hotel in the heart of the desert The unique construction that blends with nature, the desert tranquility, the room is wonderful and connected to the spirit of the place in the design. The staff is extremely dedicated and serviceminded. The restaurants and bar are excellent, we did not expect such a level of luxury restaurants in the big city, the pool is pleasant and the view as mentioned is breathtaking and unique. Really lovely great and different experience.

Awful !! People are smoking in the pool, no one stops them, they are plying music in their personal speakers… Do not even get close to this place!! Drinking and getting drank inside the pool, it should be luxurious hotel, bottom line - expensive for no reasone!

This hotel is amazing! The rooms are BEAUTIFUL. The scenery everywhere you look is breathtaking. The service is fantastic. Breakfast was delicious. If I had a complaint it would be that chef is trying too hard at dinner. Would like to see some simple menu items like a nice roasted chicken instead of chicken stuffed with chestnuts. Sometimes simple is better! Would also like to see more off site activities. It was too hot to go hiking when we were there in early Sept. But overall a 6 star experience!

From the moment we arrived, after a drive down the Red Sea we were welcomed and made to feel at home with the mantra “it’s about you” Megan and Austin have gathered a spectacular team from the fantastic Spa therapists to the restaurant team, great chef and restaurant manager, down to each of the young servers each exemplary in there own way. Great mountain guide too!
