Slated to open in 2027, one of Six Senses’ lastest property announcements will be located on a lesser-known Maltese island. Midway between Malta and Gozo, Comino is a small island with rugged cliffs scattered with wild herbs and flowers. Classified as a Natura 2,000 site, its cliffs are a safe resting spot for migratory birds, and its waters protect abundant marine life, making it popular among divers. Six Senses Comino will be set on the shores of San Niklaw and San Marija Bays and linked by a coastal path. Designed by Belvedere Architecture, the 71 low-rise suites with private decks will overlook the bay and offer easterly vistas across the Mediterranean Sea.
Guests will have exclusive access to San Niklaw Bay as well as a large communal swimming pool and deck area served by a bar and grill. The signature restaurant, supplied with fresh produce from the Maltese farming community, will be complemented by a destination bar and lobby bar. Grow With Six Senses will keep children and teens happy and off screens while parents enjoy al fresco lunches or leaf through an old classic in the library lounge. A collection of 19 standalone retreats offering two-to-four bedrooms will be dotted along the east-facing shoreline. Each will have green roofing, a large garden and secluded central courtyard with a private pool. Offering access to all the facilities at the San Niklaw resort, the retreats will be serviced by a clubhouse with a restaurant and piazza with views over Santa Marija bay.
