HOTEL SUMMARY
Where granite boulders sculpted by millennia of Indian Ocean tides meet pristine white sand beaches, Six Senses Zil Pasyon transforms Félicité Island into Seychelles' most exclusive private island retreat. This ultra-luxury resort redefines barefoot sophistication through its seamless integration with the island's dramatic natural landscape.
Opened in October 2016, Six Senses Zil Pasyon represents the pinnacle of the Six Senses brand philosophy, engaging all six human senses while championing environmental restoration. The resort occupies a former coconut plantation that has been meticulously returned to its indigenous state, creating a living sanctuary where endemic flora flourishes alongside world-class hospitality. Under the leadership of General Manager Mark Leslie, this premium property has established itself as the Indian Ocean's most sustainable luxury destination, earning recognition for its coral reef restoration initiatives and solar-powered operations.
The resort's 30 private villas and 17 residences showcase sophisticated island minimalism, designed to harmonize with the surrounding granite formations and lush tropical vegetation. Villa accommodations range from 2,150 to 5,380 square feet, each featuring private plunge pools, wine cellars, and expansive terraces with uninterrupted ocean views. The ultra-luxe residences span up to 15,424 square feet across two levels, incorporating glass-bottomed pools and gourmet kitchens within their contemporary design. Natural materials including local woods and white marble create serene interiors punctuated by ocean-inspired hues, while floor-to-ceiling glass walls maximize the connection to Félicité's pristine environment.
Culinary excellence defines the Six Senses Zil Pasyon experience, with Chef Richard Lee crafting innovative menus that celebrate Creole flavors and fresh island produce. Ocean Kitchen delivers a distinctive pescatarian dining experience perched dramatically among rock formations above the sea, while the terracotta-lined Wine Cellar provides intimate fine dining for discerning gourmets. The resort's spa, spectacularly situated among natural boulders at the water's edge, features five private treatment pavilions, a saltwater infinity pool, and a dedicated yoga pavilion offering African-inspired holistic treatments.
Guests enjoy exclusive access to three pristine beaches, comprehensive water sports, and curated island-hopping excursions to nearby La Digue and Praslin. The dedicated guest experience managers provide personalized butler service, arranging everything from private cinema screenings to swimming with sea turtles. For the ultimate Seychelles luxury hotel experience, book a villa during the dry season from May to October, when helicopter transfers from Mahé showcase the archipelago's breathtaking beauty during the 20-minute journey to your private island sanctuary.
