Another week, another Six Senses announced to open. This time, it is the rolling hills of California’s Napa Valley that will be receiving the world-famous Six Senses treatment, with the luxury hotel and residences brand announcing the launch of Six Senses Napa Valley.
Slated to open in 2026, the 3,000-acre Six Senses Napa Valley will be situated at Aetna Springs. A two-hour drive from San Francisco, Aetna Springs was first discovered in the 1870s, and existed as a natural spa and sanctuary until the 1970s.
“Six Senses Napa Valley will marry the region’s beauty with the unique natural resources of the original Aetna Springs,” said Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs.

Six Senses Napa Valley will feature 95 rooms and suites, which includes ten standalone properties structured like tents, and 16 branded residences. The interior design will be helmed by the acclaimed studio 1508 London.
