Slated to open in 2025, Six Senses will enter its first sub-Saharan African project with Six Senses Victoria Falls. The riverside game reserve and wellness resort will be set within Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls National Park, a UNESCO Protected Area. The partially concealed, tree-level lodges at Six Senses Victoria Falls will be ecological, tactile, and understated to provide a bird’s eye platform for an authentic connection with the verdant nature and wildlife all around. With its trademark ethos of conscious travel, Six Senses is working with DSA Architects International on a modular scheme consisting of a series of stilted wooden structures. This will match the weightless aesthetic with mighty engineering innovation to ensure the lightest possible footprint.

The 22 lodges with private terraces and 15 deluxe lodges with suspended pools are being designed by DSGN interior design consultancy team to capture the eclectic and authentic spirit of Zimbabwe. Timber floors and natural finishes will serve as a canvas to showcase ceremonial and bespoke furnishings and artwork. Along with on-site signature experiences such as the Earth Lab, Alchemy Bar, and Grow With Six Senses children’s activities, Six Senses Victoria Falls is best placed for access to the river on the Six Senses cruiser, the falls, the game reserves, and paying homage to Zimbabwe’s heritage and artisan culture. The resort is part of The House of Chinhara initiative to recover the majesty of Zimbabwean tourism.
