THE SEYCHELLES ARE hardly lacking in stunning private island paradises, but the bar has been nudged up a notch with the introduction of Africa’s first Six Senses resort.
Renowned and respected for its dedication to sustainability and wellness that doesn’t come at the expense of luxury, Six Senses Zil Pasyon was crafted with a light touch and daily operations follow suit. Water is purified and bottled on-site, fresh food is grown at the organic garden and single-use plastic is non-existent.
The 30 chic, high-ceilinged villas and handful of refined residences meld with the dramatic landscape of the private island of Félicité as if organically sprouted after a passing tropical shower. The resort only occupies one-third of the wild island, piled high with granite boulders and heaving green forest; the other two-thirds remain feral – a castaway’s beachy wonderland to explore. An hour’s hike with one of the expert Seychellois guides from the in-house Experience Team through the tangles of wet jungle will result in a face-to-face encounter with mystical coco de mer palm trees. With nuts topping out at over 30kg – and a shockingly seductive shape, which you can Google in your own time – the coco de mer is endemic to the Seychelles but still exceedingly scarce.
