A private island where massive granite rocks and white sand beaches create an air of drama and beauty
Location
Tucked away on Félicité Island, part of the Satellite Islands of Seychelles, this resort feels beautifully remote. You’ll reach it by speedboat or helicopter from Mahé or Praslin. The island’s dramatic granite peaks, three pristine beaches, and lush gardens make it feel like a nature lover’s dream.
Rooms
There are 33 villas and residences in total. These include 28 one-bedroom pool villas (Panorama, Oceanfront, Pasyon), two-bedroom pool villas, and a few spectacular three and four bedroom Residences for families or groups. Each villa has its own private infinity-edge pool, generous decks, and interiors that frame ocean or hillside views. Guests love the privacy, generous space, and elegant design that feels rooted in its wild surroundings.
Amenities
You’ll find several excellent restaurants and bars, including the Island Café, Ocean Kitchen, and private dining options like the Wine Vault. The spa is a standout: five treatment villas themed for Nature, Ocean, Rock, Cave and Floating; a yoga/meditation pavilion; a saltwater infinity pool; and wellness programmes that align body, mind, and place.
Activities
You can snorkel or dive in reefs around the island, kayak, paddleboard, or take boat trips to neighbouring islets. There are guided nature walks, trails up to viewpoints, and cultural experiences like visiting local fishermen or educational sessions. Guests often say the time simply stretches here; from sunrise yoga to sunsets over the ocean, each day feels both full and restful.
Sustainability
Six Senses Zil Pasyon grow a lot of their own food. They’ve avoided 151,410 plastic bottles by switching to refillable glass bottles for drinking water. Turtle conservation is central: with the Olive Ridley Project they monitor hawksbill and green sea turtles nesting on Félicité, including photo-ID research and protecting hatchlings. The resort has eradicated invasive Coco-Plum trees, reintroduced endemic species of trees and plants, and helped bring back native bird populations.
