The resort, Six Senses Shaharut, opened this week featuring 60 suites and villas, as well as a spa with six treatment rooms, Alchemy Bar and two pools.

There is also an Earth Lab which showcases the property’s approach to sustainability, gardens and an open-air amphitheatre.

Activities include kibbutz experiences, stargazing sessions, camel treks through the desert or floating in the nearby Dead Sea.

Thomas Fehlbier, the hotel’s general manager, said: “Six Senses Shaharut marks a new milestone for the brand as it enters another magical destination. After months of anticipation during these unprecedented times, I am very excited about this new opening.

“It brings the Six Senses ethos of sustainability, local sensitivity and wellness together with our unique desert culture and traditions. With a passionate team, we’ll work to create out-of-the-ordinary guest experiences in a setting of biblical proportions.”

The new property is located around three-and-a-half hours’ drive from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. Guests can also opt for a private helicopter transfer from Tel Aviv or fly into Eilat’s new airport.

The group has also recently opened its first hotel in Spain, Six Senses Ibiza.
