SIX SENSES ZIL PASYON, SEYCHELLES

All-villa luxury retreat Six Senses Zil Pasyon is on lesser-known private island in the Seychelles, Félicité; there’s an ocean-front pool, seafood-centric eateries and full-tilt pampering Six Senses Spa.

This private island has three pristine natural beaches; you’ll find one in front of the pool and restaurant; two more are a three-minute walk or buggy ride from the hotel’s main drag. Each is a mix of white sands and rock, and all are suitable for swimming.

Offering 32 suites and two villas, the Six Senses Zil Pasyon will offer you ultimate luxury with that personal service to match.

Rooms: Thirty Two Villas

Location: Seychelles

experiences

Divine dining

Chef Christian Pederson helms seafood restaurant Ocean Kitchen, an alfresco eatery on a wooden deck by the shore. Punters can watch the chefs fillet and fry in the open kitchen; fish are served straight off the barbecue grill and a bread oven fills the space with an intoxicating scent as fresh-baked loaves emerge.

Hardcore carnivores take note: you’ll find protein only of the pescetarian-approved variety here; you won’t miss getting your chops around a Chateaubriand though – all sea-foraged fare is delicious. Ingredients are organic and grown on the island, or they’re locally sourced from the surrounding waters and islands. 

Start with the freshly-made focaccia bread, then carry on to the catch of the day. In the mornings, you’ll find a dainty buffet breakfast of fruits and pastries at Island Café, as well as an à la carte selection of made-to-order eggs and more; drinks and snacks are served there throughout the day too, and both the lunch and dinner menus are spice-filled affairs with a mix of European, Asian and African fare.

Room service
Order from a slightly pared-down restaurant menu at any time of day or night; we’re especially partial to in-villa breakfasts.

Sip & Savour

Poolside Koko bar is right on the water’s edge and open all day; refreshing drinks of both shaken and stirred varieties are crafted using local, organic ingredients.

Order an icy Kokolada and make a beeline for one of the seaside hammocks or catamaran nets to lie on.

If you work up an appetite in the pool, samosas, spring rolls and other snacks are available throughout the day, too.

Rum-soaked Lakanbiz bar opens in the evenings; with its low leather seats, antique furnishing and moody lighting, it channels the types of hangouts where local Kalu – a strong rum drink – was once consumed.

Order a jar of house-made rum and sip until you sway to the bossa-nova beats. 

pool serenity

Just a stone wall separates the main infinity pool from the sea; it’s so close that ocean spray and gentle waves often break over the edge. The long pool is family-friendly, unheated and surrounded by a pool terrace with sunloungers and cargo-net hammocks.

 Poolside bar Koko slakes guests’ thirst. Views from the pool and surrounding terrace extend all the way to Coco Island, Sister Islands and Praslin Island. There’s a small pool in the spa, too.
