Scaling New Heights at Six Senses Crans-Montana in the Swiss Alps
Six Senses is broadening the horizons of Alma Frequency powered by Aníma to Six Senses Crans-Montana from June 5 to 8, bringing together a handpicked tribe of visionaries and pioneers in health and well-being. True to its original ethos of community, connection, and celebration, this four-day mountain edition will feature a curated program of progressive wellness, longevity science, holistic healing, and immersive practices in an extraordinary environment. Crans-Montana's natural charms include 300 days of sunshine a year and exceptional air quality to reinvigorate the spirit and awaken all the senses.
Anna Bjurstam, Six Senses Wellness Pioneer said: 'Bringing Alma Frequency to Crans-Montana feels like a natural evolution in our Integrated Wellness philosophy and continues the Six Senses purpose to take guests beyond destinations into new discoveries. We are stepping into a new realm of possibility, where the raw beauty of the Alps merges with the latest voices in wellness to create a shared experience that is intellectually stimulating, grounding, and expansive.'
Alma, which is Spanish for 'soul,' is the brainchild of Talana Bestall, who sought to curate a gathering rooted in longevity and well-being. Talana describes: ' Alma Frequency is a feeling, a frequency, a community. A space where fresh perspectives take you beyond your comfort zone. It has become a global movement of self-discovery and meaningful reconnection that extends far beyond the experience.'
More flexible than a retreat, more intimate than a festival, this high-impact gathering enables guests to choose their own adventure based on the sessions that appeal to them. They can hike, eat, move, and share ideas freely with visionaries in a collaborative setting. Since April 2020, Six Senses has explored different aspects of wellness through the Friends of Six Senses series, which fosters a platform and audience for powerful voices to open the mind to future growth. Alma Frequency marks its latest manifestation, helping participants reflect, understand and relate more deeply to themselves, others, and the world around them.
Alma Frequency 2025 will bring together thought leaders including:
Program highlights
Longevity & Performance: Featured speakers at the forefront of functional medicine, hormone optimization, and biohacking include James Nestor, breathwork expert and bestselling author, Dr. Jessica Shepherd, a leader in women's health and longevity, and Taryn Toomey, founder of The Class, a cathartic movement experience that is taking the world by storm.
'Breathing is not a culture, trend, supplement, or hack. It is a biological function, and by adopting better habits, you can literally change your biology in ways that are studied and measurable,' says James Nestor. 'You can change the way your mind operates and how blood pumps through your veins. I see health aficionados all the time who are doing everything else right, but they're terrible breathers. At Alma Frequency, we'll explore how functional breathing can transform energy, focus, and overall vitality.'
Movement & Strength: full-body sculpting and an unforgettable mountain adventure with nature hikes and
dynamic sessions with Sanctum founder Luuk Melisse. In partnership with Technogym, the AI-driven assessment station T echnogym Checkup scans physical and cognitive parameters to deliver a personalized training protocol.
Reconnection & Spirit: Sonic journeys, rituals of renewal, and an exploration of astrology and neuroscience with Rosa Theodora.
Nurture & Nourish: Communal dinners, insights and workshops on intuitive nutrition and holistic well-being with leading voices in Ayurvedic principles, featuring Jasmine Hemsley.
An all-encompassing invitation
Guests will enjoy an all-inclusive three-night stay at Six Senses Crans-Montana (Terrace, Superior Terrace, or Deluxe Terrace rooms), gaining full access to the workshops, movement sessions, daily communal meals, and curated mountain experiences throughout the four-day festival.

Ordinary billionaires settle for a superyacht, but the Qatari royal family bought an entire marina in Spain and upgraded it just so their $500 million megayacht can dock in secrecy on their frequent summer retreats from Doha's blistering heat
This week, one of the most extraordinary vessels on the water, Al Lusail, the private superyacht of the Emir of Qatar, was spotted sailing along Spain's Mediterranean coast, drawing awe from onlookers and yacht enthusiasts alike. The 123-meter floating palace made a quiet return to Port Tarraco Marina, one of the few Mediterranean ports specifically equipped to accommodate vessels of its scale and stature. Interestingly, the port was previously owned by Qatar. Designed for privacy, security, and world-class luxury, Al Lusail is among the most technically advanced and visually distinctive superyachts in the world. Built by the renowned German shipyard Lürssen and delivered in 2017, the vessel boasts sleek, futuristic lines penned by British design studio H2 Yacht Design, with a lavish interior by March & White. The yacht features multiple swimming pools, a helipad, cinema, beach club, and expansive lounges tailored for relaxation and discreet meetings at sea. Though full details remain a closely guarded secret, Al Lusail is believed to accommodate up to 36 guests in absolute comfort, attended to by a highly trained crew. Its arrival at Port Tarraco, located in Tarragona just an hour south of Barcelona, is more than a picturesque stop along the Mediterranean. The marina itself has a quiet but notable history, originally developed with the capacity and infrastructure to berth some of the world's largest private vessels, Al Lusail included. In fact, while not officially confirmed, industry insiders often suggest that the marina's impressive specifications were influenced, at least in part, by the needs of the Qatari royal fleet during its original development in the early 2000s. With 33 berths ranging from 45 to 160 meters, Port Tarraco is one of the few facilities in Spain and indeed the broader region that can comfortably receive multiple 100-meter-plus yachts at once. Its deep-water access, high-capacity shore power, and advanced security systems make it ideal for ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking discretion, safety, and elite service. It was indirectly under the ownership of the Emir after it was purchased by the Qatari Diar Fund in 2011. Despite its past ties to Qatari investment via the Qatari Diar Fund, the port was sold in 2020 to Spanish marina operator Ocibar, who now manage it alongside other premier facilities such as Port Adriano and Marina Botafoc.

Massive blackout hits Spain and Portugal
Power went out across all of Spain and Portugal yesterday, cutting cellphone and internet networks, halting trains and trapping people in elevators, officials said. Spain's government was scrambling to identify the origin of the huge outage, with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez going to the headquarters of the state electricity network operator to be briefed. The operator, Red Electrica, said it would likely take six to 10 hours to restore power in the country and urged people not to speculate as to the cause of the outage. Images posted on social media showed metro stations plunged into darkness, with trains halted, and people in offices and hallways using the light on their phones to see. The national road authority DGT told motorists to stop driving, because stop lights were out, forcing vehicles to slow to avoid collisions and police officers to direct traffic at intersections. AFP journalists in Madrid and Barcelona saw people coming out into the streets, holding their smartphones up to try to connect to a network. People were also trapped in lifts, Spanish media reported. The internet activity monitoring site Netblocks told AFP the blackout caused a 'loss of much of the country's digital infrastructure'. It said web connections plunged to just 17 percent of normal usage. Flights delayed Portugal's REN operator said in a statement to AFP that all the Iberian peninsula was affected by the blackout, adding that the outage occurred around midday. There was also a brief blackout in southwest France, that country's electricity operator said, but power was now restored. 'An electrical incident is currently affecting Spain and Portugal, the cause of which remains to be determined,' France's high-voltage grid operator RTE said. The European Commission was in contact with Spain and Portugal 'to understand the underlying cause' of the outage, a spokesperson said.
