Six Senses will breathe new life in Aetna Springs resort in Napa County, an agricultural haven producing some of the world’s most sought-after wine. Located a two-hour drive from San Francisco, Six Senses Napa Valley will welcome guests to the western edge of a vast 3,000-acre estate. The existing structures will be preserved, and the landscape revitalized to bring back the beauty and functionality of the natural mineral springs. Award-winning architecture firm Olson Kundig will work alongside California-based Architectural Resources Group and renowned developer of multiple historic projects, Weller Development Partners, to make sure the structures are preserved.
Six Senses Napa Valley will feature 95 rooms and suites, including ten tent-style structures, with interiors designed by 1508 London. There will also be 16 branded residences, which will be serviced by Six Senses and, alongside all the resort amenities, enjoy access to a dedicated lounge.
Wellness will be center in new local. Programming will include yoga, meditation, mindfulness, Visiting Practitioners, and various treatments and therapies, all inspired by nature. Personalized longevity programs will work on the mind-gut-skin connection, fusing scientific advances in neuroscience with ancient wisdom worth remembering. The historic mineral springs will be revived with indoor and outdoor thermal experiences and bathing. Indoor bathing facilities will use local herbs and essential oils for guests to relax and rejuvenate, privately or socially. The sensory Alchemy Bar is the place to blend spa scrubs and soaps to suit the season and mood, using natural ingredients picked from the resort’s organic garden.
The resort will be home to four food and beverage outlets. An open-plan Dining Hall will feature long communal tables and cozy corners among the totem poles for intimate dinners, popping corks, or questions. The (unsurprisingly named) Well will tempt guests to an informal and open-air space to celebrate the history of Aetna Springs with mineral water bottling and distilling. The Juice & Brew Bar’s in-house alchemists will craft homemade and herbal tonics and tinctures, detox juices, artisanal and draft beers, and original and classic cocktail recipes.
The investment group, comprising Weller Development Partners, Pegasus Capital Advisors, and IHG Hotels & Resorts, will work with expert partners in sustainability to restore green spaces, vineyards, and agricultural activities supporting the resort. The water bottling program will tap into the natural springs. Practices such as rewilding zones and the use of sustainable design and materials will help the resort achieve LEED certification.
Six Senses Napa Valley is planned to open in 2026.
