Six Senses Zil Pasyon

Removed from the inner Seychelles islands, Six Senses Zil Pasyon, on Félicité, is a phenomenal private island resort.

It’s easy to get there, yet feels adventurous, especially if you are arriving via helicopter from Mahé.

The two-bedroom pool villas are our choice for families. The pool is enormous, and the villas are set privately amid lush vegetation. Furthermore, whilst being private, they are still only a few steps from the beach, and the main areas.

There are three more private residences on the island, with three or four bedrooms and spectacular views. Not to mention private art collections, wine cellars and gourmet kitchens!

There is as much or as little to do here as you like – being active all day is easy with so many watersports on offer. There are also long and winding hiking trails, and endless laps of the pools to be swum.

Those keen for more R&R can relax in the morning, before visiting the spa, or lying on the beaches. As evening falls, watch the sun set from a granite rock, drink in hand, before an outdoor screening of a film. 

Every day here can be different, which can make a few days seem like a week.
