Six Senses Hotel, Ibiza, Spain
One of the most ambitious and challenging European
hospitality projects Hill is currently managing is the
Six Senses Ibiza in Spain. Located on the northern side
of Ibiza Island along Cala Xarraca Bay on a 32,000 SM
site, this destination is a new addition to the portfolio
of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas. The resort includes
134 guest accommodations including fully appointed
Townhouse Suites, Deluxe Pool Suites with private
decks, Beach Cave Suites, branded villas, and two, six-
bedroom Mansions.
Scheduled to open for the 2020 summer season, the
Hill team is managing an aggressive schedule and
complex phasing. “Core and shell works are underway
on-site, while design is nearing completion,” explains
Marián Prieto, Vice President and General Manager
in Hill’s Spain office. “Given the vision of Six Senses
for the project, unsurprisingly multiple design and
consulting teams from around the world are involved.
This necessitates a huge effort in orchestrating and
managing the myriad of stakeholders, while also
performing our construction management supervision
on site within the allowed work windows.” Beyond
the design phase, Hill is providing executive project
management services across the entire lifecycle.
“This will be Six Senses’ first resort, spa, and
residential project in Ibiza, and their third in
Europe,” says Ms. Prieto. “They intend this project
to be a benchmark in innovative design, unique
entertainment offerings, and eclectic dining
experiences, all of which our team understands
and is very familiar with from our other hospitality
assignments.” Ms. Prieto adds that the project is also
designed to focus on wellness, sustainability, and
community.
Says Mr. Calvino, “All of these projects exemplify the
market growth PricewaterhouseCoopers and others
see in the European tourism market. A combination
of history, innovation, and style is drawing travelers
from around the world to Europe’s cities and resorts,
and this combination is reflected in each of Hill’s hotel
projects.”

The re-development of Astir Palace is a hospitality project
of both global and national significance, representing an
internationally known destination and a Grecian landmark.
