Félicité is a private island located 30 nautical miles (55 kilometers) northeast of Seychelles International Airport in Mahé. Multiple inner islands, including the well known Praslin and La Digue, surround it. A scenic 20-minute helicopter flight from Mahé or a 20-minute speedboat trip from Praslin Island takes you to Félicité and Six Senses Zil Pasyon, which occupies one-third of the island. Félicité is one of the most dramatically beautiful isles in the 115-island nation and features massive granite boulders and picture-perfect beaches. Measuring 652 acres (264 hectares), the resort embraces and celebrates nature while offering every creature comfort. The consistently warm tropical weather makes Seychelles an ideal year-round destination.

DINING

Seychellois cuisine reflects the cultures that have come to these shores over the past centuries. African, Chinese, French, English, and Indian culinary staples and the Seychelle’s Creole. Drawing from this diversity, Six Senses Zil Pasyon offers traditional favorites along with a little interpretation of island cuisine by our adventurous chefs.

Island Cafe – Inspired by flavors from the spice route, this is a melting pot of European, Asian, and African fare. Fruit, pastries, and made-to-order eggs for breakfast give way to drinks and snacks served throughout the day in an open lounge. Views of the ocean or Chef’s Kitchen.

Chef’s Kitchen  – A private dining experience. Your private Chef prepares a tailor-made menu with your favorite ingredients for lunch or dinner. Cooking classes are also available weekly where you can learn the secrets of the local cuisine and take foodie notes as you sample a little as you go along.
