The Best Hotel Openings in the Middle East and Africa for 2023

Six Senses Southern Dunes, Saudi Arabia

With Six Senses properties opening in Rome and Crans-Montana, Switzerland earlier this year, the wellness-focused brand bookends a successful 2023 with the launch of the Six Senses Southern Dunes. Surrounded by the undulating dunes of the Arabian Desert, the 76-room Red Sea destination is aiming to be the first LEED Platinum resort in Saudi Arabia, thanks to an onsite solar farm that powers the property.
