Complex Director of Landscaping - Six Senses & InterContinental Grenada

 About Six Senses La Sagesse Grenada
Surrounded by nature, there are 56 pool suites. Combining eco-credentials and comfort, the design uses natural, renewable, and repurposed materials. The organic and contemporary interiors feature an open-plan bedroom, while the outdoor terrace leads to a private plunge pool for a cooling dip. In addition, there are 15 villas enjoying a prime hillside or oceanfront setting, ranging between one, two, and four bedrooms. The five four-bedroom villas located on the Bluff offer a 270-degree view of one of the most coveted locations in the Caribbean. It has never been more important to be mentally, physically, and spiritually happy. This has been considered in every aspect of the design, with ample light, fresh air, and space.
