<\/a>Six Sense Residences is the first fully-serviced apartment complex in Courchevel 1850 (the highest of the three Courchevel resorts) with all the conveniences one could wish for \u2013 24-hour concierge, indoor swimming pool and spa.<\/p>\nIt couldn\u2019t be in a better location too, bang in the middle of the resort surrounded by Michelin-star restaurants, designer boutiques, and luxury hotels. And a short private shuttle ride from the slopes (Six Senses also has a ski concierge located in a private chalet under the main ski lift)<\/p>\n
Everything has been thought of here, as you would expect from a luxury brand renowned for its five-star hotels, resorts and spas. The apartments are spacious and well-designed with open plan dining and leisure areas (pictured below), balconies and en-suite bathrooms.<\/p>\n
There are 53 properties ranging from one to three-bedrooms apartments and 10 five-bedroom penthouse suites. Prices range from \u20ac1.5m to \u20ac8.8m.<\/p>\n
Warmly decorated using wood, stone and light-coloured furnishings, the homes are designed for luxurious family holidays and winter wellness breaks with friends. Apart from some 600 pistes there are also cross-country ski trails, snow-shoeing excursions and on-mountain restaurants accessed by ski lifts. So there is plenty to enjoy even if you are not a powderhound.<\/p>\n
The residences have a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and treatment rooms offering beauty and massage therapies. There\u2019s also a spacious club lounge serving breakfasts, snacks and light lunches.<\/p>\n
According to property experts the apartments are set to be good investments. A 21 week-long ski season offers plenty of rental opportunities especially as Courchevel links into one of the biggest and best ski areas in the world; the Trois Vallees.<\/p>\n
Charles Weston-Baker, head of international developments at Savills estate agents says, \u201cNot only does Six Senses Courchevel deliver the magic of having the best address in Europe’s most stylish ski resort, but it also provides the logic of a being a sound tax efficient investment that, if required, can more than cover annual running and finance costs from renting it out for part of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Courchevel has been investing heavily in its infrastructure too. The Aquamotion Park; a \u20ac70million space-age swimming complex that opened two years ago has indoor and outdoor pools, wave machines, a salt pool, steam rooms, saunas and whirlpools – enough to keep a family occupied all day.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s a very exciting time to be investing in the Alps.\u201d adds Roddy Aris, Knight Frank, France. \u201cThere are of course challenges ahead such as the long-term implications of Brexit and the erratic winter seasons but the draw of the mountains has never been stronger.<\/p>\n
\u201cResorts are having to evolve and adapt to meet the demands of today\u2019s buyers. Huge investments have been pledged across the Alps from artificial snow-making facilities to adapting and evolving activities for the summer and family market.\u201d<\/p>\n
Courchevel is determined to keep its place as a top ski destination. It has also upgraded its ski lift system to the tune of \u20ac120million and making a joint bid with Meribel to host 2023 Ski World Cup.<\/p>\n
Kerry McClinton-King, Business Development Director at Six Senses Residences, said:\u00a0\u201cCourchevel\u00a01850 is renowned as one of the best ski resorts in the world. The residences combine exclusive hotel-style amenities and service within the comfort and privacy of your own home, leading the way in a new type of ski property paradigm. The result is a six-star ski experience like no other.”<\/p>\n
