Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas Partners with Timeshifter
Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas has partnered with innovative new jet lag reduction app, Timeshifter®. Used by astronauts, elite athletes and top CEOs to eliminate jet lag, now guests booking a stay directly with Six Senses will get full access to the app, which promises to help them adapt to a new time zone, eliminate jet lag and boost energy from the moment the plane touches down in one of Six Senses’ far flung destinations.

Developed by Harvard Medical School Associate Professor, Steven Lockley PhD, and based on the latest research in sleep and circadian neuroscience, Timeshifter offers highly personalised jet lag plans based on guests sleep patterns, chronotype (normal bed time) and flight plan. It also offers users the option of bespoke add-ons, such as the use of melatonin for even faster time zone adaptation. Timeshifter incorporates a real world ‘practicality’ filter, ensuring that the advice it provides is realistic and easy for guests to follow, enhancing the experience for business and leisure travellers alike. There is also a unique ‘quick turnaround’ feature for business travellers, who want to feel their best during short business trips.
Jet lag is caused when the ‘sleep-wake’ and ‘light-dark’ cycles shift too quickly for the 24-hour circadian clock in the brain to adapt. Timeshifter not only provides advice to alleviate the disruptive symptoms of jet lag such as insomnia and drowsiness, but addresses the underlying circadian disruption by rapidly resynchronising the body’s circadian clock to the new time zone and therefore reducing the negative impact of jet lag on other brain and body functions.
This new partnership is perfectly aligned with Six Senses’ overarching philosophy of wellbeing, and provides the ideal base for guests to arrive ready to immerse themselves in the Six Senses wellness experience. Neil Jacobs, CEO of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spa, comments: “We all love to feel good when travelling for business or pleasure, but when flying long distances jet lag can cause stress, fatigue, moodiness and restless nights. We’re delighted to partner with Timeshifter and to provide our guests with a state-of-the-art tool so they can get the most out of their time when staying with Six Senses and to be their best after they arrive back home“.
“The partnership between Six Senses and Timeshifter is showing what the future of luxury travel can be. By combining the Six Senses Integrated Wellness experience with the Timeshifter jet lag app, based on the latest in sleep and circadian neuroscience, guests will enjoy their vacations even more and perform at their very best on business trips“, said Mickey Beyer-Clausen, CEO of Timeshifter.
This partnership offers another dimension to the wellbeing offering available for guests staying at Six Senses resorts worldwide. Adding to the already impressive offering which includes everything from signature massages to high-tech science, high-touch therapies, and programmes that enhance the food guests eat and the way they sleep. For guests who wish to delve deeper into the experience, a wellness screening is available upon arrival to a Six Senses resort, for a resident expert to assess their health and lifestyle habits and recommend a personalised programme.
Guests who book a stay through SixSenses.com, via email or phone will be given a special code in their reservation confirmation so they can unlock a complimentary jet lag plan inside the Timeshifter iOS or Android app.
