Natural light is in abundance from the extensive floor-to-ceiling windows, enhancing the contemporary interior styling. A translucent plunge pool features in the upper level master bedroom, which also offers stunning island and ocean views.

Sustainability
On this intimate jewel of Seychelles it’s your choice whether you want to step in tune with nature or take a dip with the turtles! The island is an ecological marvel, so we do everything we can to sustain its integrity.

Our social and environmental projects are not obligations, they are our motivations and why we bounce out of bed every day.

For us, sustainability starts with growing our own food. In 2019, we produced nearly 39,000 kilos of organic herbs, fruits and veggies to feed our guests and hosts.

A new area has been developed next to the garden where you can learn more about our approach to permaculture and compost and much more.

• 1,800 coral fragments harvested and grown in our nursery, with 600 fragments transplanted so far
• 1,300 people reached through our 2019 educational activities
• 7,000 indigenous species planted to date as part of our island restoration project

Environmental Responsibility
Environmental standards are not to be accepted but exceeded, thereby creating a new benchmark to drastically reduce our footprint on these sands.

Forest restoration
We have plants, shrubs and trees indigenous or endemic to Seychelles, setting Six Senses Zil Pasyon apart from the “artificial” landscapes of other resorts. Our landscaping team has worked for a decade to eradicate invasive Coco-plum and reintroduce authentic species of trees and plants.

The habitats will be rich and productive and a happy result will be the return of endemic birds including the Seychelles Magpie Robin, Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher, Seychelles Whiteye, Seychelles Warbler and Seychelles Fody.

As coastal habitats are also much improved, we hope to see seabirds returning in numbers to nest.

Coral
We collaborate with local NGOs including Ramos Marine and Island Reserve, in projects that aim to restore a seafloor area of at least 6,500 square feet (600 square meters).

We harvested, grew and planted back to the reef up to today 1,339 fragments of resilient corals that will more likely survive future bleaching events. We are developing new nurseries and structures that will help us to grow coral more efficiently and restore Félicité’s Marine Protected Area.

While you’re with us, we encourage you to swim in the coral garden and see the plantation for yourself.

Sea turtles
The Turtle Conservation Project includes the monitoring, tagging and photo identification of sea turtles. The project started in September 2017 with Turtle Action Group Seychelles (TAGS) led by Dr. Jeanne A.

Mortimer and the Seychelles National Park Authority (SNPA). The island has always been a nesting site for green and hawksbill turtles. Nesting season starts from October and runs to April.

We monitoring nesting turtles and the hatchlings to ensure that no disturbance is created (these big miracles start out tiny), and at the same time creating an unforgettable experience for our guests.

Social Responsibility
We employ locally and offer educational programs and activities to local schools

Youth engagement
We believe that as members of our local community we must work closely with all stakeholders to ensure continued growth and sustainable development. Our aim is to achieve immediate public benefit while ensuring a legacy can be built for generations to come.

We collaborate with local schools to raise awareness of conservation and environmental protection, and promote activism among young students, to inspire a future where they may continue to work actively among their community.

On land, in the sea or hopping from island to island
From hiking and discovering nature to watersports and beach activities in Seychelles to rounding the day off at Cinema Paradiso under the stars … there’s something for every sun-worshipper, nature lover, thrill seeker, yogi, Insta family, foodie and lounger dribbler.

Boules and Saucisson

Full Day Island Hopping on a Luxury Yacht
Cruise around for the day on the Luxury Manhattan 74 fly bridge motor-yacht ‘Basic Instinct’, with cruising speeds of 26 knots. Ahh, this is the life!

Turtle Hatching
We are very happy to have turtles nesting on our beach every year. Nesting season is from October to February and our GEMs will notify you when the turtles start to hatch, so that you can join our turtle team of hosts on the beach. They are there to make sure that the little hatchlings have a safe first journey to the ocean.

Watersports
There are many options to enjoy life on or under our crystal clear waters. Snorkel and dive the beautiful underwater world, splash around in a kayak, or give us your best yoga pose on a Stand-Up Paddleboard.

Snorkeling
​Ready for a unique snorkeling adventure? The coral reefs of Félicité Island are rich in color and underwater marine life. Take your snorkeling equipment from our Experience Center and explore our reef by yourself. See how many colorful fish you can spot.

Kayaking
​Hop in a single or double kayak and start your mini adventure around Félicité Island and our world of secluded beaches and bays, stopping whenever the mood takes you to get a closer look at the interesting flora and fauna.

Currents can be strong, so it is important that you stay in visual contact of your fellow kayaker or an Experience Host.

Stand-Up Paddleboard
Try a SUP as a fun way of finding your balance (or plunging into the water) with a minimum of gear. It is also a great way to exercise while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Marine National Park of Coco Island.

Cinema Under The Stars
Relax on a sun lounger under the stars and listen to the palms rustling in the breeze … with a blockbuster movie illuminating the large cinema screen. Enjoy our state-of-the-art surround-sound system, along with homemade popcorn.

Scheduled screenings take place twice a week, but should you wish to have a more private experience, screenings can also be arranged for couples, families or groups.

Tour de La Digue
Start your tour by heading 1.67 miles (4 kilometers) along the coast with an incredible view of Félicité Island; or head 2.48 miles (2.7 kilometers) to Anse Source d’Argent and while on the way stop at Chez Jules for lunch.

Say hi to the giant turtles at the Union State Park and finish your tour at Grand Anse with its dramatic waves perfect for photos and body-surfing.

Top Hill Hike
The top of the island and Félicité’s majestic six Coco de Mer are only 90 minutes away. Our chefs prepare pastries, fresh fruit, coffee and tea for the extra energy before your hike.

It’s an experience suitable for families that want to spend some quality time together, but it is also a very romantic experience for couples seeking adventure.

Leave Only Footprints on Coco Island
Get a single or double kayak from the Experience Center and paddle off around the island. Follow our ‘leave only footprints and take only memories’ philosophy.

Even if you have snorkeled around the house reef, you’ll come across more exciting and colorful marine life under the clear turquoise waters including eagle rays, small reef sharks and needlefish. Keep an eye out for turtles and dolphins!

UNESCO Vallée de Mai, Praslin
UNESCO World Heritage site Vallée de Mai is one of only two places in the world where the rare Coco de Mer palm grows in its natural state. It’s also a birdlife hotspot – watch for the endemic Seychelles bulbul, the lovely blue pigeon, the Seychelles warbler and the endangered black parrot, of which there are between 500 and 900 left in the wild.

DESTINATION 
Occupying less than a third of the total island, Six Senses Zil Pasyon is the sole resort on Félicité. Considered as one of the satellites of La Digue, the island is encircled by Grande Soeur, Petite Soeur, Coco and Marianne and offers the ultimate island-hopping experience.

Any time is a good time to visit Félicité
If waking up to perpetual summer sounds like bliss, then Félicité Island’s location outside the cyclone belt is for you. Even when it rains, usually limited to late afternoon from December through February, the sun doesn’t stay hidden for long.
