Six Senses Residences The Palm, Dubai

The residential mix runs to four types: Penthouse, Royal Penthouse, Sky Villa and Signature Villa. The Sky Villas are duplexes, 32 of them across two buildings, and the Signature Villas are nine five-bedroom beachfront houses, each with a private garden and infinity pool. Penthouse apartments account for 131 homes across two further buildings, 172 privately owned branded residences in all. Totals that fold the hotel keys in vary, so we publish the parts and leave the combined totals alone.

Six Senses Place is the residents' wellness and lifestyle club rather than the hotel, at 60,000 sq ft (5,574 sq m). Inside it sit a massage circuit pool, a squash court, a wellness circuit, a Six Senses Spa, shared working space and meeting rooms, with a longevity clinic, an IV lounge and a biohacking room alongside. A separate Six Senses hotel building stands on the same site, with 61 suites; its opening date is to be confirmed, so we make no claim about when residents or visitors can use it.

Owner benefits are set out by the developer: unlimited access to Six Senses Place facilities, excluding a la carte services; discounts on food and beverage; discounts on stays at Six Senses hotels and resorts worldwide; and concierge and valet services. The terms attached to that worldwide stay discount are to be confirmed. Select Group's estimated service charge of approximately AED 38.5 per sq ft was set before handover and remains an estimate; the Mollak-approved figure owners actually pay is to be confirmed on the specific home.

Select Group carries the development as sold out and completed, so no developer inventory remains and the only route in is the aftermarket. Resale homes come to market regularly. A count of homes advertised is not a count of homes available, because the same unit is routinely offered by several brokerages at once, so we publish no availability figure and confirm what is on the market when a buyer asks. We publish no asking prices for UAE property either: advertising a price in Dubai requires a Trakheesi permit we do not hold.

Six Senses Residences The Palm, Dubai suits a buyer who already spends time on the Palm and wants the wellness programme to be the point of the purchase rather than the view. What is still to be confirmed is the part a buyer most needs settled: the tenure, the service charge as actually levied, and how much of the aftermarket supply is one home offered several times over. One caution on the name: Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina is a different Select Group project, still off-plan with delivery expected in 2028, and the two should not be read as the same property.
