Six Senses Zil Pasyon in the Seychelles is as fantastic as you imagine.
Location
Located on the north side of the private island of Félicité, approximately 55 kilometers or 30 nautical miles northeast of Mahe, you can reach this slice of paradise by helicopter from the International Airport or a short boat ride from neighboring La Digue and Praslin islands.
Style & Character
Félicité is said to be one of the most dramatically beautiful isles in the Seychelles. Resort pictures showing the massive granite boulders that fringe the white sand beaches certainly make this mesmerising location look as close to paradise as islands come.
Measuring 264 hectares (652 acres), the resort is a sanctuary within the natural environment.
