Six Senses Zil Pasyon
Location
Getting here involves either the thrill of a helicopter transfer from the largest Seychelles island of Mahé or a plane and then speedboat from Praslin or La Digue.
Accommodation
Accommodation ranges from spacious one- and two-bedroom villas to enormous three- and four-bedroom private residences. Private infinity pools and butler service complement the elegance and super-high-end quality of every option. The ultimate choice, for its James Bond film looks, its total seclusion from its incredible elevated position, and its discreet service team, is The Sanctuary.
Then there are six places to eat, all breezily laidback and relaxed but serving unforgettable dishes showcasing the melting pot of cultures that typifies the Seychelles. Finish the day with a cocktail at the over-water Koko Bar, or perhaps just on the radiating warmth of a granite boulder.
- Head to the Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue, said to be the world’s most magnificent beach. It’s only 10 minutes away by speedboat. La Digue is a perfect place to explore on a bike.
- 20 minutes away by speedboat is the Vallée de Mai on Praslin Island – one of only two places in the world where the rare Coco de Mer palm grows in its natural state.
- Take a kayak to the famous Marine National Park of Coco Island, just a short paddle to the north.
- Head out on foot to discover the island of Félicité, ending the day with a sunset view from the highest granite peak.
- The ocean in front of the pool is teeming with wildlife, with black tipped reef sharks being frequently spotted.
- On a hammock-sofa perched above lapping waves, enjoy an open-air blockbuster movie under the stars.
- Return home with some relaxed sing-song lingo by having a Creole lesson with a local.
- If you’re here between October and February, you’ll be able to watch turtle hatchlings as they make their first journey to the sea.
- Take a boat trip to the nearby island of Curieuse to see giant Aldabra tortoises and learn about their conservation.
