Six Senses Zil Pasyon
History & Story
Built on the Lush island of Félicité, Six Senses Zil Pasyon brings the ultimate level of luxury to the Indian Ocean. Once a coconut plantation, Félicité Island has been restored to its original vegetation state and features a wide array of both indigenous and endemic species to the Seychelles.
Main Strengths, Special Touch
• Offering the very best private island experience in The Seychelles within the reach of other main islands such as Praslin, La Digue or Mahé.
• Six Senses Zil Pasyon offers several dining options in a relaxed but sophisticated ambiance, showcasing the freshest products of the surrounding areas. A range of activities and excursions are also available for guests of all interests, in addition to the Six Senses Spa, located among beautiful rock formations on the water’s edge. All spa facilities, including five individual treatments villas, a unique wet area experience with saltwater infinity pool and a yoga and meditation pavilion, fit seamlessly into the natural surroundings, at one with the nature.
Location
Six Senses Zil Pasyon is located on the private island of Félicité, the fifth largest island in Seychelles, offering unsurpassed vistas of the ocean and surrounding islands. This 30-villa and two multi-bedroom residence resort occupies one third of the total land and has been brilliantly designed to embrace the picturesque landscape of untouched beauty.
Key sites/activities in the area
Leisure activities focus on the beaches and pristine waters surrounding Félicité plus island hopping boat trips. There’s inspirational island walking trails, while on the neighboring islands of Praslin and La Digue there’s golf, cycling and the opportunity to join a guided tour of the UNESCO World Heritage site Vallée de Mai. Youngsters can join supervised activities at Trouloulou, the kid’s villa.
Fun Facts
• Félicité is the 5th biggest island in The Seychelles out of 115 islands.
• We are one of the few islands in The Seychelles were the Coco de Mer grows. The Coco de Mer is the biggest nut in the plant kingdom and only exists in The Seychelles.
Children’s Corner
Introducing a fun sanctuary for the youngsters, Trouloulou’s Club values our important junior guests and aims to delight them by creating memories that last long after their visit. We invite our junior guests to get closer to nature in fun and exciting ways by introducing sustainability at early age and to appeal to their innate love of discovery and sense of curiosity.
Grow with Six Senses is a program which has been developed at a corporate level to redefine the kid’s activities whilst on holidays. A set of activities all related to nature or physical activity have been designed in order to keep kids busy but also seek the involvement of parents in their kids enjoyment. From coconut painting to sandcastle building the array of choices is delightfully overwhelming.
