Granite island resort with clifftop spa and pool villas in the Seychelles

Six Senses Zil Pasyon sits on the granite island of Felicite in the Seychelles, a 20 minute helicopter ride from Mahe. The resort has 30 pool villas, five residences and two beachside retreats, all built into the dramatic granite boulder landscape with sweeping ocean views. Guests can kayak to neighbouring Koko Island, snorkel the protected marine park with its surgeonfish and turtles, or relax by the 85 metre main swimming pool carved into the hillside.

The Koko Bar is perched on the rocks for sunset cocktails, while the Ocean Kitchen and Island Cafe serve Creole inspired dishes from organic produce. The cliffside spa is one of the most dramatic in the Indian Ocean, with treatment rooms built into the granite. A boulodrome, cinema paradiso and rum bar keep evenings lively. The resort grows its own herbs and vegetables, filters and bottles all water on site, and runs on energy efficient systems throughout the property.
