Six Senses Zil Pasyon, Seychelles

C'est évidemment un lieu magique, hors du temps, sur une île privée avec des accommodations de très hauts standings.

Ce sont des petits détails mais qui naturellement font tâche lorsqu'on propose ce niveau de standing : nous avons chacun commandé un homard lors du diner - l'un des deux était complètement surcuit, un nid de guêpes était présent dans le toit de la terrasse ce qui fait que nous n'avons pu profiter pleinement de la piscine de la villa. Malgré ces points remontés, aucun geste n'a été fait de la part du staff. Par ailleurs, pour vous rendre sur l'île, sachez qu'il n'est possible de s'y rendre uniquement par hélicoptère ou par bateau (pour un prix de 600€ aller retour).

Outstanding

The island is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking nature, crystal-clear water and complete privacy. The villas are beautiful and very private. The staff were friendly and genuinely tried to help, especially our butler Fatira, who was very caring and professional.

Unfortunately, the food, especially breakfast, does not match the standard expected at a resort of this level.

The staff are INCREDIBLY friendly and hospitable! This was a particular highlight -- they are extremely attentive and demonstrate having thought about all aspects of the guest experience, which makes it so much more fulfilling. The room (hideaway pool villa) was immaculate! Every little aspect is considered and the room is well stocked, clean, spacious and comfortable. The resort is pristine. The photos here do not do it justice -- it is so much better than one expects!

Difficult to find areas of improvement. A few were: It would be nice for the beach area to have a dedicated bar during the afternoon. There are moments when the pool bars do not have staff present as they are moving between that and the main breakfast/dinner restaurant. The prices for transfers are extremely high.

Amazing stay in a beautiful hotel with excellent facilities, a stunning beach, and private villas. The atmosphere feels like heaven. I also highly recommend booking the private pool spa—it offers great privacy, beautiful views, and a truly relaxing experience.

the hotel has limited restaurant options, so there isn’t much variety when it comes to dining. The prices are also quite high. However, what really stood out was the chef’s flexibility and willingness to accommodate guests—he was happy to prepare special dishes and make almost anything we requested, which made the dining experience more enjoyable.

The seafront villa is outstanding. Everything so clean and impressive. Facilities with snorkeling, kayaks, and other activities were also highlights. The hotel is located in one of the most nicest places for snorkeling and diving.

First, the prices. Everything is expansive, from basic sunscreen to the restaurants. And the quality is not that great. As a Six Senses, we would expect the best cuisine, but it was a regular meal for breakfast/lunch/dinner. For the price we pay for the hotel, it wasn’t worth it. I ate better in 10 times cheaper food in Praslin. Second, the assistance was not perfect. We almost missed breakfast because our buggy transport got delayed 20min. We have seen other guests also giving up about the transportation and go by walking, even though is far. We did the same a couple of times.

Die Lage des Hotels ist einmalig. Der Service ist hervorragend. Wir durften auch eine Residence anschauen - wirklich top. Der Buggy Service ist pünktlich und gut organisiert. Der Spa ist wunderschön und die Massagen waren toll!

Bei der Kulinarik gibt es noch Luft nach oben. Sehr komplizierte Menus und das Frühstücksbuffet ist eher klein ausgefallen.

We just spent three wonderful days at this exceptional place. The location is simply outstanding – Félicité is surrounded by some of the most famous granite islands of the Seychelles: La Digue, Ile Cocos, Grande Soeur & Praslin. There are stunning views from every point of the island, and of course from each and every villa! We stayed in Oceanfront Pool Villa # 3 directly opposite dreamy Ile Cocos, simply wow. The layout of the villa is well thought-out with floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to the pool deck from both bed- and bathroom. Bath amenities are top notch and mainly from The Organic Pharmacy. I often stumble with the handling of the shower, here it was easily to use, a big bonus ;-). The villa also features an outdoor shower in the garden area. On the pool deck, hidden in the cupboard, you can find an ice-cube machine, not a bad idea. All 30 villas provide highest level of privacy and a private butler, called GEM. Our GEM Letitia was a lovely person, very attentive and dedicated. Due to the hilly landscape, a buggy if often needed (with minimum waiting times, btw). We tried to walk as much as possible, but all depends of course on the specific location you are heading to/from. Félicité is easily reachable from either Praslin or La Digue, approximately 20 minutes by boat. We stayed prior on Praslin, thus arrived that way and departed via the most coolest option - by helicopter on a scenic 20 minutes flight back to Mahé. You can either combine Félicité with neighbour islands or use as sole position for excursions to the others. 3 beaches are located within the resort section, more are scattered over the rest of the island. Due to prevailing waves/rocks, swimming can be a tad tricky from time to time. Anse Peniche is the one which is best accessible all year round. There is a smaller stretch of sand at the end of Anse la Cour, it seemed there are as well bathing options depending on the tide, yet we did not try. We do love Grande Anse Beach which is a bit remote and truly a picture-perfect beach, fringed by palm trees and those iconic granite boulders. A few cabanas are placed under the trees, fresh water and towels are provided for self-service at the close-by beach hut. Grande Anse is also a perfect spot for a romantic picnic or breakfast. Only one third of the island is occupied by Six Senses, the rest remains pure tropical nature. It's definitely a paradise for hikers with many trails to explore. There is a large bunch of experiences on offer, we tried the following activities: Sunrise Yoga on the spa pavilion perched above the boulders surrounded by the sound of the waves, truly a wow-location! I would say that is one of the most spectacular Spas in the Indian Ocean. The spa pool amidst the rocks is another stunning place. We also tried a sound healing session on the pavilion which was an interesting and relaxing experience. At Alchemy Bar we crafted our own body scrub with all organic ingredients like salt, coffee, coconut oil, and freshly cut flowers. That’s always a nice experience and you can re-produce same at home. Beach fitness in the morning at Anse Perniche was a bit laborious, especially for me as I am not so trained 😉. Anyway, not the worst way to start the day! Sunset hilltop experience along with bubbles and small bites is an absolute highlight and a truly impressive and a lasting memory. Your GEM drives you up to the hill where you walk over the rocks to a romantic lounger with fascinating view over the islands around you. Along with the resident marine biologist we also went on a snorkel trip directly in front of the island and were totally surprised. Apart from a large area with fantastic coral garden we encountered a shark, rays and a turtle all on one single round, really a lovely tour. Usually, we are not so into snorkelling in the Seychelles as we are a bit spoiled from the Maldives, this was a real exemption compared to the other times. At the Marine Lab you can dive deeper into marine life and environmental things. Also, renowned Olive Ridley Project is based on the island. The other day we did an interesting nest monitoring tour with one of the ladies along Grande Anse Beach. There are lots of hawksbill and green turtle nests on the island, so fingers crossed that at least of few of the hatchlings will survive! On departure day, we enjoyed a floating breakfast in our villa along with some champagne. That was truly breakfast with a view! There are two main outlets, Island Café (all-day-dining) and KRI (dinner only), the latter a Japanese restaurant located on the upper floor. At Island Café, I would recommend to try the Ceviche as starter, very nicely prepared. In the evenings, the large Badamier Tree is illuminated, creating a romantic scenery in front of both venues. Of course different options like private cooking class/chef’s kitchen, wine vault dinner, some special events at Ocean Lounge and destination dining are available. Island Water is served on a complimentary base. The selection of wine by the glass I found very limited: 2 white and 2 rosé from Italy were only on offer (red ones I did not check, but most probably also 2), and as well pretty expensive, 400 SCR per glass. The selection of wines by the bottle is of course more comprehensive and also more reasonably priced. This is definitely a point to look into further. Breakfast comes with a nice choice of smoothies, juices and shots. In addition to the à-la-carte menu there is also a buffet option. Many of the vegetables, fruit and herbs are grown in the own organic garden. A vital part at every Six Senses resort is of course the strong focus on sustainability and social responsibility. The team members have been very amiable and cordial, and the allover vibe is familiar and pleasant. Félicité is truly a special island and the perfect place to combine ultimate relaxation with exciting experiences amidst a spectacular landscape. This was surely not our last time 😊.

Great experience of a wholesome care and support by the spa and wellness team, with thoughtful fitness and yoga classes with Parivesh, and comprehensive wellness plan designed and led skillfully by dr Delvin. Thank you!

Set on a private island, this resort offers spacious villas with ocean views and total privacy. The natural surroundings and attentive staff create a peaceful and exclusive experience.

My wife and I spent a week on Felicite Island and could not have picked a better place in the Seychelles. This was our second trip to the Seychelles and the first time at the Six Senses resort. We had a fantastic time. The communication with the resort‘s booking team ahead of our trip was easy and fast. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted by smiling faces and wonderful people. The guest either enjoy their exquisit villas or make use of the different beaches or activities on and around the island. So the island feels like your private Seychelles paradise. The food is fantastic. The gym is well equipped and overlooks the neighboring islands and the sea. We never checked out the Spa, but I am sure it is great too. You can watch baby sharks, turtles, and hundreds of colorful fish while snorkeling just outside the beach. So it is truly paradise. But all of this is topped by the wonderful people (shout out to Fatira - we miss you!), who will do whatever is necessary and more to make sure you have the best time ever. We will be back.

Everything

Nthng at all

Uno de los mejores hoteles, que gran experiencia hacer el arribo en helicóptero, todos los servicios de primera no hay duda uno de mis lugares favoritos realmente! El staff muy muy amable especialmente Sanjey desde el primer momento siempre atentos porque todo esté bien! Definitivamente una de las mejores experiencias a nivel de servicios hoteleros

The property is very nice but the facility is outdated and very over priced for what we paid. I’m very disappointed

The service was horrible nothing was being done properly. There is no standard to the food my Newley wed wife and I were eating to survive on our honeymoon. The cleaning was horrible there was bugs and stains everywhere (pee stain on toilet seat when we arrived)

Great Spa. Thaks to parivesh for the Gym 🏅💪. Best coach ever ! He was fantastic all week we dos everyday training and it was an incredible experience.

This resort is probably the most beautiful place we have ever seen! The setting is just perfect and our villa was incredible. I did quite a bit of research before deciding where to stay in the Seychelles and I do think we landed at the right spot. It was the perfect combination of private and exclusive. We loved the design of our villa and we spent hours sitting on our deck enjoying the view and watching the boats go by. The food was very good and we liked the setting. The general manager, Andrew, was very present and helpful. However, there are several things I'd like to note which you should take into consideration if you go here. The biggest is the potential for travel delays. Air Seychelles is the only carrier and you have to take a helicopter to get to the island. We were very stressed the entire time we were there because of the issues we experienced. We were told Air Seychelles cancelling and rescheduling flights is very common. They cancelled our flight there but then were able to have Ethiopian Air replace the flight. The biggest issue was getting back. The moved up our flight by several hours such that we had to leave a day early because the helicopter only flies during daylight hours and we couldn't have gotten there early enough the day of. Then there were no helicopter flights available the day before, so we would have had to leave 2 days earlier than planned. You can't get a refund for leaving early, so that would have been a huge loss but the worst part of that was that we spent a tremendous amount of time getting there and we would have lost 2 of our 5 days there. We were last minute able to get on a helicopter flight out such that we lost 1 day, but it was very stressful not knowing. The second has been noted in previous reviews but I completely agree that we felt very nickel and dimed. When you're spending thousands of dollars per night, I would think more things would be included or at the very least at a reasonable price. It seems like they charge such high rates because you have no other option. One example would be what they charge to take a 10 minute boat ride over to La Digue. If you go on the scheduled trip, it costs 200 euros. If you want to go at a different time, it costs 460 euros. All other add ons were just as expensive. Our GEM was not great. We had to remind here several times of things we thought she had scheduled but didn't. While we thought the food was very good, it would have been nice to have a different option. There is only one restaurant so that became a bit repetitive. They had a theme night but it was also very expensive. Bottom line, while we loved the resort itself we would not return because of the difficulty getting there and stress around complications getting home.

My stay at Six Senses was absolutely amazing! We came for our honeymoon but will definitely make Six Senses in Seychelles part of our vacation getaway spots. Amos Simali took very good care of us. Parivesh literally unlocked my love for yoga. His morning Yoga Flow class not only relaxes you but also teaches you the basics of yoga without making you feel insecure or pressured to get every pose right. He even gives you tips on what to work on after the class! He truly cares about your wellbeing which I must say is something I felt from everyone on staff. The view of the islands and oceans cannot be beat!

We had an exceptionally memorable stay at Six Senses, made truly special by the outstanding people. The entire Six Senses team is highly trained and consistently professional. From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome from Gary and his team, followed by a comprehensive orientation from Rodney in Guest Relations, who played a key role in making our stay unforgettable. Rodney is a charming young man with a genuine passion for his work; he checked in on us throughout our stay and ensured we always felt welcomed and well cared for. We also received excellent service from Janine at breakfast and Jill at dinner—both were friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful. Robin was equally wonderful; he was approachable, knowledgeable, and provided valuable insight into the tides and the best times to kayak to Île Coco. We will certainly be returning and will be encouraging our family in the United States to visit as well. Our sincere thanks to the entire Six Senses team, including those not mentioned by name, for making our stay so memorable.

Fantastic location Stunning views Possibly the prettiest beach we have ever seen Fruit bats galore! Great room Wonderful staff If you can - experience it

We recently returned from a wonderful 4 nights at Six Senses Zil Pasyon. From the moment the helicopter touched down to the moment we departed, we felt so welcomed and well cared for. The staff is all incredibly professional and kind. Service at the restaurant can be a bit slow, but you are on island time and there is no rush needed. The food is very good, but is expensive, as others have noted. Drinks are quite expensive as well, but you are in paradise and it is all worth it. The location is wonderful. It is an easy 15-20 minute helicopter ride from Mahe. We went to La Digue for the day, which was only a 15 minute boat ride. The island is small, private, and stunning. The rooms are very large and well appointed with amazing infinite edge pools. We had a sunset view and I highly recommend this. We did a hike on the island which was challenging but the views at the top were worth it. Nathan, our GEM, took very good care of us, as did Amo. Eric the manager was very helpful. We took advantage of the gym, which was clean and had all the equipment you would need. We didn't take advantage of the spa but did get a tour and it is absolutely gorgeous. We will most definitely try to return to this magical place and highly recommend it!

Th island is beautiful. But even this part is already far from it's best times: drought and mismanagement clearly put it's mark on the surroundings as well.

1. Absolutely poorly managed property 2. Old and worn out villas. Rustic bathrooms with walls and floors looking like they would benefit from good proper clwaning 3. Neglect everywhere: - the area of the hotel is poorly managed - grass is dry right in front of the main restaurant - birds poo on the breakfast tables - birds picking bread right from the table where tourists cut bread for their breakfast It is just not clean and sometimes not very safe. 4. Beaches are bad for snorkeling. Entry to the beaches is not convenient. 5. Food is mediocre, especially breakfast 6. Service is mediocre 7. We HAD to reduce our stay because transfer from the hotel was not available (helicopter couldnt be organized for this particular morning) and the hotel still didn't reimburse 1 night stay. They just pretend that's not their problem. 8. Ridiculous processes: when you want to book an activity in the activity center you can't just come in and ask for it. You have to text to your butter, who will email(!!!) the activity center, and then they hopefully do something. As you understand, nothing will get done in the end. They failed to book a boat for snorkeling even though we asked in advance. When we came in time for the activity we were told the boats are not available. Shame. Overall the property is way way far from what you expect from Six Senses, and it's price level overall.

My stay at Six Senses Seychelles was nothing short of magical. From the very first moment, you feel like you’ve stepped into another world – untouched nature, postcard-perfect beaches, complete serenity, and a level of luxury that wraps around you in every detail. Location: Absolutely breathtaking. Crystal-clear turquoise waters, lush jungle surroundings, and villas perfectly blended into the landscape. Everywhere you look feels like a moment you want to capture. It truly feels like you have the whole island to yourself. Hotel & atmosphere: Spacious, beautifully designed villas with total privacy, immaculate cleanliness, and thoughtful touches everywhere. The private pool and the views make it feel like a personal paradise you never want to leave. Staff & service: Exceptional. Warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you need. The service is quick, attentive, and incredibly personalized — they make you feel genuinely cared for throughout your entire stay. Overall: Six Senses Seychelles is the definition of luxury, peace, and natural beauty. A destination that stays in your heart long after you leave. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an unforgettable escape.

The island itself is incredible. Beautiful scenery, nice reef, etc. The hotel is beautiful and it has everything you need to have an amazing vacation. But the service is just really, really bad. Everyone (well almost everyone) was very friendly, but overall we felt like the hotel was seriously understaffed and that the staff lacked training. We had to double check almost everything. The worst experience was the wine vault set menu dining experience with wine pairing: 1) that dinner took THREE hours, 2) they mixed up the courses (for example they brought the tuna dish, looked us dead in the eyes and argued that it was octopus), 3) wine pairing came like 20 mins after the dish it was paired with or didn't come at all unless we asked for it, 4) I had to literally point to the dishes and wines in the menu to prove that we haven't got it yet. The next day the chef came to see us at the breakfast, apologized and told us that the dinner will be excluded from the bill. Guess what we found in the bill while checking out? They eventually excluded it, but this is just to give you a hint about how you have to double check everything there. They have buggies to move around the island, but it's impossible to predict when a buggy will come. There were a few times when we had to wait for 15-20 minutes for a buggy (even though there were buggies standing right in front of us, just not a single person to drive it). When asked about the buggy situation and other cases when we had to wait too long or to ask twice or more to get something, our manager told us that its the high season, the hotel is fully booked, etc. So in other words the hotel was just not ready to welcome that many guests. All these little things are not that serious, but they are really annoying when combined, especially considering that we paid 20k for the stay (and around 8k more for all the extras). This is not what you expect when staying at a luxury resort. And the worst thing is I don't think anyone cares about making it better. I thought I'll share my feedback with the manager or write it to the hotel if they send me a request. But no one asked for the feedback. We just got the regular "we hope you enjoyed your stay, hope to see you again" and thats it. This was our first Six Senses experience and I don't think we'll try it again. P.S. We had some time before our flight home and our manager suggested organizing a trip around the main island for us. When we arrived to the main island there was no one waiting for us, we had to wait around 40 mins at the airport. Once again, nothing crazy, just small inconviniences here and there and everywhere.

The villa an the housekeeping was great

Availability of buggis Villa Fitness

Our honeymoon was an unforgettable experience. We spent five relaxing days at Six Senses Zil Pasyon. Every staff member was incredibly accommodating and friendly. Our journey began with a thrilling “rollercoaster” ride from Praslin to Felicite. Thanks to Liam, we arrived safely at our villa, greeted by our GEM Vladimir, who took excellent care of us throughout our stay. Vladimir guided us to our panoramic villa, offering breathtaking views from the poolside. We indulged in a delightful spa experience, complete with honeymoon messages. Unfortunately, we’ve forgotten the name of our hiking guide, but he was equally attentive as we set a new record for the fastest ascent of the top hill hike. We also participated in two cooking classes, one for dumplings and another for pad gra prow. Chef Joseph (Jo) prepared the incredible prok bao buns for breakfast, which were simply amazing. Despite the cloudy weather, we were treated to a stunning sunset view from the Passion Deck. Overall, the food, staff, villa, and experience were simply beyond amazing.

Six Senses Zil Pasyon Felicite Island Unsafe staircase design led to a severe accident during my stay. 1031034582 During my recent stay at Zil Pasyon (Six Senses), I suffered a serious fall on one of the staircases. The step narrows abruptly from rectangular to cone-shaped, and at night the floor lamp on the right-hand side was not illuminated. This combination made it extremely difficult to see the hazard, leading to my accident. While falling, I also struck a decorative straw-mat panel, which came loose from the impact. These design and lighting issues create an unsafe environment that could put future guests at risk. We were watching a movie upstairs, and my husband nearly fell on the same staircase twice — once when he went alone to the restroom, and once when he was looking for me (after I went downstairs to the restroom). These near-misses underscore the ongoing danger of the poorly lit and narrowing staircase. Although Zil Pasyon (Six Senses) is an ultra-luxury resort with gorgeous scenery, a lovely climate, and an outstanding location, the safety hazard of the staircase overshadowed my stay. The rooms themselves were excellent, though I found the interior lighting too dim — I could not even see my injuries clearly after the accident. The resort also operates with a very limited number of guests per large villa and a correspondingly limited number of staff. The staff we saw worked extremely hard, but the lack of sufficient personnel may contribute to gaps in safety and supervision. I urge management to address this hazard immediately before another guest is seriously injured. Otherwise, Zil Pasyon (Six Senses) is outstanding.

Private butler can make a world of difference when you stay at the villas. In this case, Daniel, our butler was mega! You should ask for him when you make the booking, he really stood out when it came to personalized service!

My experience with Parivesh was beyond my expectations. Through unique training methods I had never encountered in all my years of training, he managed to completely relieve my shoulder pain and release deep-seated blockages. Thanks to his guidance, I can now start my fight camp pain-free and with full confidence. Thank you so much, Parivesh!

Wow - just wow. My husband and I went there for our 35th wedding anniversary and had an incredible time. It is the most beautiful place with such stunning scenery. Staff were fantastic, villas were out of this world, food was incredible and cocktails were perfect. A big shout out to Vladimir who ensured we wanted for nothing, arranged boat trips, hiking trips, spa treatments, anniversary cake and drinks on the sunset deck. Difficult to explain but you leave with such a sense of health and well being. So sad to leave but will definitely be back.

Amazing

Nothing

Un hôtel magnifique vraiment on s’est bien reposé, une plage extraordinaire du personnel extraordinaire, les chambres avec des très belles vue

Il y a aucun truc que tu peux pas aimer dans ce hôtel

Cadre exceptionnel, chambre au top, très bon restaurant

Meet Parivesh the best yoga/Pilates teacher and trigger point healer. I had a pain in my shoulder for the past 4 years, he did a miracle. Thank you Pari.

An Unforgettable Stay on Félicité at Six Senses We truly enjoyed our days on the breathtaking island of Félicité in the Seychelles at Six Senses. From the very first moment, we were warmly welcomed by General Manager Andrew – the perfect start to an unforgettable holiday. The resort is exceptional: the villas are seamlessly integrated into the lush natural surroundings and offer complete privacy. The views are simply stunning – often it feels as if you have the entire island to yourself. The entire staff is incredibly attentive and gives you the feeling that anything is possible. A special mention goes to Rajan, who looked after us during lunch and dinner with great professionalism and warmth. He quickly learned our preferences and made sure every meal was a delight. The menus were creative and varied, with something new to discover every day. During our stay, we also had a personal guest experience maker, Rodney, who took care of every detail to ensure our comfort. Thank you, Rodney – it’s clear that you truly love what you do. The island itself is a natural paradise – lush, pristine, and simply beautiful. This stay will remain in our hearts for a very long time

From the moment you arrive on Félicité Island, you know you’re somewhere extraordinary. The setting is pure magic — dramatic granite boulders, lush jungle, and secluded white-sand beaches that look like they belong on a postcard. With only a handful of villas, privacy and exclusivity are unmatched, making it the perfect escape for couples, honeymooners, or anyone who wants to completely disconnect. Our villa was spectacular: huge indoor–outdoor living spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, a private infinity pool, and thoughtful touches everywhere — even a swing in the bathroom. The design strikes that rare balance of modern luxury and natural warmth, seamlessly blending into the island’s surroundings. Dining was consistently excellent, with ingredients often sourced from the resort’s own organic gardens. Whether it was a poolside lunch at Koko, a themed dinner under the stars, or a sunset cocktail at the rum bar Lakanbiz, everything felt special. Yes, prices are high — think €50 for a burger and wine by the glass starting at €40 — but the quality and setting made it worth the splurge. The spa is simply breathtaking, carved into giant boulders and overlooking the ocean — one of the most serene places I’ve ever had a treatment. Activities were well-curated: kayaking to nearby Coco Island, guided hikes, snorkeling, outdoor cinema nights, and even rum tastings. The resort’s commitment to sustainability was inspiring — coral restoration, turtle conservation, and an impressive zero-plastic policy. Getting here requires some planning — either a helicopter transfer or a combination of ferry and private boat — but the moment you step onto the island, the journey feels well worth it. Bottom line: Six Senses Zil Pasyon is one of the most beautiful, thoughtful, and restorative resorts I’ve ever experienced. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s an escape into another world.

We loved the privacy and peacefulness of our villa, the view from the villas is priceless. The great Leticia - our gem - was always there to help, the manager Andrew is extremely professional and the personal trainer/yoga teacher shines with his knowledge. Definitely worth a trip.

What a hidden gem in the Seychelles! An island with just 30 villas and a few private residences. The level of service was extraordinary, thanks to our private butler, Leticia — a lovely and extremely helpful young lady. Our hideaway, Villa No. 2, was perfectly located, with a private pool overlooking both the ocean and the jungle dotted with granite boulders. The service and cleanliness were truly out of this world. It’s very expensive, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience — a taste of luxury beyond imagination. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and beautifully presented. Wines and drinks are pricey, but if you come here, that’s part of the experience. All the staff were excellent, but I’d like to highlight the outstanding service from Yazan (from Nepal) — truly exceptional. Tips: Take the trekking path to Secret Beach. Watch the sunset from the hill behind Villa No. 2. For the transfer to Mahé, opt for the helicopter. It's not cheap, but absolutely worth every penny.

I wish we could have stayed longer......

Six senses Seychelles, is certainly one of the most beautiful resorts within its organisation. My #1 highlight Is definitely when i met Parivesh, an expert powerlifter. The hotel has loads of talented health experts but Parivesh really helped me get to grips with the next steps in my fitness journey!! 10/10 would recommend.

Certainly the privileged position, as the resort is located on a private island completely dedicated to it. Breathtaking view and furnishings integrated with the nature of the place, classic of the six senses. Certainly what made our stay a “charm” was Daniel, a golden boy who does 90% of the work of all the others. If he didn’t exist, they would have to invent him.

There was a big problem during the booking and the whole organization of the trip via email. So much so that Justin cancelled our booking from booking website . I called and they told me not to worry but in the meantime the booking was cancelled... so the reception staff was absolutely poor. I extended my stay, for this reason I only have a 2 day booking but I stayed a week in total.

An unforgettable experience at Six Senses Zil Pasyon. The island is breathtaking, the service was flawless, and every detail was handled with care. Special thanks to General Manager Andrew Whiffen, whose hospitality and personal attention truly elevated our stay. I’m already looking forward to returning!

We recently stayed at Six Senses Zil Pasyon for a ladies trip with two friends, and overall, the experience was memorable. The resort is absolutely stunning — the views, nature, and serenity are breathtaking. Our villa overlooked Coco Island, and we truly loved waking up to that beautiful scenery every day. The resort is very well designed, and the restaurants offer a lovely setting. However, I would like to share some feedback on the service, which unfortunately did not fully meet our expectations for a Six Senses property. We were first assigned a GEM (Guest Experience Manager) named Chantelle. Sadly, our experience with her was disappointing. She appeared quite young and lacked experience. Communication was often slow or nonexistent; we had to follow up several times for basic requests. When one of us raised our concerns, Chantelle’s attitude shifted, and she became distant, even avoiding us. This behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable for a luxury service role. For future guests, I would recommend requesting a different GEM if assigned to Chantelle. Fortunately, when we requested a change, we were taken care of by two wonderful team members: Sarah and Daniel. Although it was not Sarah’s role initially, she went above and beyond to assist us. She was proactive, responsive, and always made sure our needs were met. Daniel, was simply outstanding — very empathetic, attentive, and genuinely caring. Both Sarah and Daniel made a huge positive difference in our stay. We sincerely thank them for their efforts, professionalism, and kindness — even when we were not always the easiest guests. They are true assets to the resort. At the restaurant, we also had excellent service from Sandra, Kenneth (“KK”), Rolina, and Indica, who kindly took us for a sunset activity. Their attention and warm attitude made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Apologies if we forgot anyone — the entire restaurant team was truly wonderful. That said, we did face some challenges regarding the dining experience. One of my friends has strict dietary restrictions — she cannot eat raw food or cheese. Unfortunately, despite informing the staff in advance, we had to remind them several times throughout our stay, as this information was not always properly communicated between shifts or across the team. We would have greatly appreciated a more consistent coordination from the start to avoid repeating the same requests daily. There were a few technical issues during our stay. Our private pool had an unpleasant odor at one point, but Daniel promptly took action to resolve the issue, and we appreciate his quick intervention. The food overall was good, though the variety could be improved. The chefs were very attentive, and we had some lovely moments with them. We also enjoyed the barbecue experience, although it was quite expensive — future guests should be mindful of the pricing when booking extra experiences like this. As for activities, we loved the Alchemy Bar Lab where we created our own scrubs and creams — a fun and unique touch. My friend also enjoyed an excellent Hot Shell massage at the spa, and the breathing session with the yoga instructor was very special — she even took beautiful photos of my friend during the session, which was a lovely gesture. We arrived and departed by helicopter, which was an unforgettable experience, adding to the magic of the trip. In summary, this resort has amazing potential with its stunning location and incredible team members like Sarah, Daniel, and the restaurant staff. However, management may need to place more focus on consistent service standards, staff training, and internal communication. For a brand like Six Senses, guests should not have to insist on basic services being delivered or repeat requests. We hope that management recognizes the outstanding team members who truly shine and considers offering them more senior opportunities, as they are the ones making the real difference. Thank you again to the team for your hard work — we wish you all the best and hope to return someday!

Absolutely horrible service!My room was not even clean..Bathroom was a bit dirty..staff was lousy..to check in was very unpleasant..it was all over the place !i was denied the restaurant and amenities like the spa!The island is general was boring…Like i said staff was lousy and arrogant!What is going on???

I love it everything about this place!

Everything is beyond beautiful, the villa was so spacious and gorgeous, the food was also very nice and they have plenty of options, loved the different areas around the main swimming pool, the beaches around the island are stunning, the staff was so lovely and attentive, everything about this place is just absolutely fantastic

Everything is very expensive 😅

We really love the hard product here. The island and hotel itself are beautiful. We loved Andrew, the GM, and thought he was great. However the value, food and service falls short. We found our GEM to be unfriendly, borderline hostile, and really were unsure what the point of her was besides upselling. Other service members were hit or miss. One would be phenomenal, another would make a two course meal two hours. The food is very expensive and not so good. They also clearly believe they aren't charging enough because we had to inquire and send back a check to receive a happy hour discount and had to fight to have $2000 of false charges on our end of stay bill (make sure to check the line items thoroughly, they'll fight you on it and claim its "food"). Pretty disappointing overall. It's gorgeous, but so are a lot of places in the Seychelles. For the cost per night, you have a lot of options, and I implore others to explore those.

An incredible stay where we were extremely well looked after by our hosts and had the most wonderful wedding. Each and every staff member was super friendly and we were extremely lucky to be blessed with beautiful surroundings, amazing wildlife and fantastic food. Thank you for making our stay the most enjoyable it could have been

We had a fantastic stay at Six Senses Zil Pasyon, and what truly made it exceptional was the service we received from Sous Chef Maarouf and our waiter Rajan. Chef Maarouf went above and beyond every single day. He understood our preferences/dietary needs and made sure each meal felt tailored to us. Even when something wasn’t listed on the day's menu, he found a way to make it happen — always with care and attention to detail. What really stood out was how quickly and professionally he addressed any small issues that came up. He didn’t just make sure we were happy — he made sure we were beyond happy with both the food and the overall experience. Rajan was equally impressive. His service was consistently warm, attentive, and genuine. He made sure everything at the table ran smoothly, remembered our preferences, and always checked in with a smile. You could tell he truly cared about making our experience relaxed and enjoyable. The overall atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and both Maarouf and Rajan played a huge part in that. The management team, including Chantelle from the GEM team, was also responsive and helpful, ensuring everything during our stay ran smoothly. We left feeling incredibly well looked after — thanks to the entire team, especially Maarouf and Rajan. If you’re planning a visit, we highly recommend seeking them out — their level of care truly sets the experience apart.

The Six Senses surpassed all expectations, in all aspects and created a truly memorable trip. The room we had (villa 23) was beautiful. It had a wonderful view of the sunset and coco island but wasn't too far from the main building so we could walk to dinner. Each of the villas have their own pool and beautiful bathrooms with spectacular views. They feel completely private, you would think you're the only people on the island which we really enjoyed. We had lovely welcome amenities, and the team were AMAZING. We would return from breakfast to the room already cleaned and turn down was always spot on. The island itself is the real highlight, you don't share with any other resort and (if you're up for some hills) you can hike in the uninhabited part of the island. The beaches are spectacular, and often very quiet, the snorkelling amazing and the views from every corner so memorable. The island is quite hilly, between the main buildings and the villas, we enjoyed the challenge of the walk but there are also always golf buggies on hand and even if you are walking people will always stop and ask if you need a lift! We did the La Digue shuttle, which I'd highly recommend, and the day tour. The day tour was really special, the crew (Carlos and Nel) made it really bespoke and most importantly good fun. The spa is also really worth a visit, go and check out the infinity pool which can be hired for private use and is spectacular. We enjoyed every interaction with the whole island team, Sanjay was our GEM and was a superstar. On the day it rained, he sent us a rainy day schedule which we think is an amazing idea and included lots of indoor ideas of fun things to do. The ladies in the restaurant were all superstars! We loved our early morning breakfasts when the restaurant was quiet and we got completely spoilt. It was great to meet Jack, who is studying the turtles on the island, and we attended a nest excavation where we found one tiny trapped hatchling which we were able to release into the sea. There is a turtle whatsapp group set up, so you can know when any such activities are on-going. All the guys who worked with the water activities were lovely, happy to tell us about the wildlife and what Seychelle island life is really like. It is real barefoot luxury, with no pretences and Andy (the GM) is always around and adds to the fabulous personalities on the island. We are so grateful for a truly exceptional trip! Thank you to everyone :) Bhutan next!

It was great! I hope I will come again, but a little but, we cant find enough local fruits there. Daniel and all stuff were very kind and thank you for late check out

This is a spectacular resort in the Seychelles. There are hotel is the only one on Felicite island, which added to the experience. It can be reached from Mahe airport via helicopter or boat. The helicopter is much faster, if more expensive, and offers amazing views during the 15 or so minute flight. All of the accommodation offered are standalone villas with private pools, most offering amazing sea views although there are a couple of more secluded options. Our villa was beautifully apportioned, with large bedroom, bathroom, outdoor terrace and separate storage/ changing area. There was a TV, decent sized fridge and coffee and tea making facilities. We had a dedicated butler assigned to us - Sanjay - and were able to use WhatsApp to contact him directly throughout the stay. The island offers stunning beaches, a smallish but well stocked gym, hiking trails, kayaks, snorkelling kit, a playroom with pool table, fussball, arcade game and books, so there is lots to do on the island. Excursions off the island can also be booked for additional fees - we did an island hopping tour and La Digue day trip and I would recommend both. We also enjoyed watching a turtle nest being excavated on the island - a unique experience. There is also an excellent spa on the island and we enjoyed a lovely couples massage. Breakfast was included in our package and was very good - a la carte plus a very good range of salads, cold cuts and fruit plus fruit juices. It is served in the same restaurant as is used for dinner, although there was also a barbecue special one evening in a different area. The restaurant is next door to the bar and main pool area. All of the staff interactions were brilliant - all so friendly and professional. A wonderful experience throughout.

About fifty percent of the staff is often unhelpful, forgetful (purposefully?), and obtuse. The food is overpriced beyond measure considering how boring, painfully repetitive, and, with a few exceptions, mediocre it is. It is unclear if the alcohol we requested to have added to our typically non alcoholic drinks ever made it into the actual beverages...when this was questioned we were treated like liars and thieves (and those drinks often arrived just before we were finished with our meals even though they were ordered when we were first seated). We had to BEG for an actual paper map of the island when squinting at the tiny, sad, low resolution version on our phones proved too much to bear. The ceiling fan in our room was non functioning - when this was pointed out we were indeed immediately supplied with floor fans, but the question remains: WHY, for the price (!!), is ANYTHING in the room broken? Could have used an extra "beach bag"...asked for one or two...was promised one or two...never received. There is not much to do on the island, which is fine...but snorkeling was a real highlight. We should have lugged our own gear though, since the often broken, typically "sad" gear we were loaned was a real detriment to our experience. They could supply/sell some inexpensive flip flops or other simple gear that one might have forgotten to bring (the ill fitting, absurdly slippery bedroom sandals are not a good substitute). Overall the food and the holier-than-thou waitstaff and valet made our stay ($$$$$$$) sad. Luckily we had a 14 hour unexpected layover in Dubai on our way there, where, for the price of 180.00, we had an amazing lunch of simple ceviches and the most delicious rice I have ever had...all made with ingredients easily found in the kitchen at Six Senses but never utilized properly. I believe that people do not tell the truth about these places often because it is so sad to have to admit you just got screwed over so badly.

Amazing villa, amazing nature, amazing star sky views. Nice services and staff.

The gym could’ve had bigger dumb bell weights and a bench press/barbell and rig. A hiit area with equipment such as rogue (echo bike, barbell, plates) and mat flooring similar to Six Senses Ibiza. Treadmill could be upgraded and a concept 2 rowing machine added. The spa could’ve had a relaxing area and been bigger in general. The extra adventures were also a bit too expensive.

Wir hatten einen spontanen Trip für ein paar Tage geplant. Sixsenses kannten wir aus anderen Locations. Wir wurden wiederum nur positiv überrascht. Tolle Villas mit absoluter Privatsphäre, toller Pool mit View. Personal und Organisation perfekt. Kulinarisch für uns Europäer vielleicht etwas mehr Abwechslung. Das ist aber das einzige und absolut auf höchstem Niveau gejammert. Super Transfer vom Airport zur Insel. Rundum ein perfekter Urlaub.

Wunderschöne Insel sehr freundliches Personal ein Traum

Just back from 4 nights at the amazing Six Senses Zil Pasyon - a beautiful hotel on the island of Félicité with luxurious rooms and super friendly staff who bend over backwards to make your stay easy and enjoyable. Special mention to GEM Vladimir who checked in regularly and made every request possible. Recommend the day trip to island La Digue and spending time discovering the Felicite beaches - even the secret beach to hike to. A lovely stay and hope to return again soon!

Beautiful villa with fantastic views. We were very well looked after by the staff especially Fatira who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The spa was amazing. Lots of activities for families and couples. Very natural with lots of wildlife to see.

We are now on our way back home after spending one week at this beautiful resort. The island is very beautiful, rooms are amaizing and very clean and they freshen up the room every time you go out. Our GEM Fatima was the best ever, she fulfilled all our requests even when they were out of the ordinary. All the staff made sure that we were having the best time. They have the best activities like yoga, snorkel, turtle nest monitoring so you can never get bored there. I have a lot more good things to say, we didnt wanna leave. Definitely will be back soon⭐️

Everything

I dont write long reviews but a few notes for this spot. Known for their spa, you need to go at least once it’s epic. If you can, get a room with Western exposure. We were in villa 17 and it’s a 20 minute walk, so you need a buggy everytime, small issue for a near perfect spot. Recommend to definitely rent a boat, try with another couple if possible as its about $1,000 for four hours, but getting to see other islands and snorkeling (good at the hotel) is much better in other spots. Another small issue is there are only certain days that certain activists are given, make sure you spend time on coordinating what you want to do, as we missed a few things and we were there four nights. Food is very good, I would recommend the full board. Breakfast is slightly above average, but lunches and dinners were excellent. Hamburger (of all things) was very good. Make sure you let your waiter know if you want rare or med rare on steaks that they understand, this was a small issue. Caprese salad was ok, soft shelled crab with papaya was excellent. Steak tartare excellent. Fish of the day, excellent. Tiramisu was a bit below average, coconut parfait was the best dessert by far, ice cream sub par. Gym is also very good with a spectacular view, which was cool. Makes sure you have a cocktail at sunset, perfect setting. Two comments for management. If you take a boat ride tip in cash, if you tip on the bill the boat staff does not get the tip, weird. And this was the worse WiFi connection of the 8 properties we stayed at, very frustrating, they need to address this, you cant be the best hotel in the Seychelles and have the worst WiFi, not at the prices you pay.

Beautiful resort, very private, special thanks to the General Manager, Anton, who was always on premises, making sure everything is done right. Clear water, lots of untouched nature, friendly staff, most obviously, excellent management. Thank you, Anton!

This island has to be the most stunning island we have ever visited and had the pleasure of staying on again! The resort has been extremely well thought out and fits perfectly in this amazing location. From the minute we stepped off the helicopter we were just blown away by the beauty of this island. We had booked a panorama suite which had everything we required with spectacular sea views. The villas are spacious and beautifully appointed. The bathrooms are amazing with a swing seat and huge shower area. The resort offers a very prompt buggy service if you don’t wish to walk the hilly pathways. The views from this resort are to die for. This is the ultimate chill in luxury holidays - you can snorkel, cayak and paddle board, and there is a twice weekly shuttle to La Digue island - also a must - chargeable. There is the most special evening hillside sunset for two - which is a must. Champagne and canapés are served as you take in the breathtaking vista. We felt like we were the only people on the island sitting in this most magical location - can’t recommend highly enough and thank you to Anton for organising it for us. We would certainly do it again. The food served from the two restaurants is really good and there is a plan in place to lift the food choice/quality to a higher level which we think it will certainly benefit from. The staff are super and all so friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. A special mention to Fatira our GEM, and also to Daniel and Ricky our buggy drivers who were really interesting and entertaining. We had an amazing stay and I just hope it’s not too long until we can make our third visit.

Just back from the most relaxing week at Six Senses Zip Pasyon, my GEM Vladimir was simply the best, each day he checked in to help make any arrangements from dinner, to spa to sunset viewing.... Without having to ask I was offered a studio room access with complimentary breakfast on arrival to fresh up and rest - given my villa check in time was 2pm, same courtesy on departure villa offered for late checkout. The staff were amazing super attentive, very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend a visit. I would definitely visit again

Luxury looking clean rooms

Not many activities available at six senses Felicite, got a little boring and repetitive! With bad weather and most of activities being outdoors I would expect Hotel to offer alternatives to keep guests happy but that did not happen. Food and drinks overly expensive (approx £35 for one cocktail) and not worth the price, waiters very forceful to sell the set menus and when you don’t purchase the set menu they get moody! Staff treat famous / high profile guests with more priority than regular guests, a ‘high profile’ family arrived and our butler kept delaying us and noticeably was busy with the famous guests.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Six Senses hotel, located on one of the most beautiful islands in Seychelles I have ever seen in my life. Having visited many islands and seas, I can confidently say that this island surpasses them all in natural beauty. This is the third island I've visited in Seychelles, and it has quickly become a favorite. The hotel's location is simply stunning, offering breathtaking views and a serene environment. The design and layout of the property are thoughtfully done, providing a seamless blend of luxury and nature. I particularly enjoyed the room view and the style, which exuded elegance and comfort. However, there were a few areas where my experience fell short. Despite the staff's efforts, there was a noticeable sense of unhappiness among them, and they lacked the energy to serve, which affected the overall atmosphere. This was particularly evident in comparison to other hotels I have stayed at in the Seychelles. The staff's energy and vibe play a crucial role in enhancing a guest's experience, and this is where the hotel could improve. The food was another area of concern. Given the hotel's isolated location, there was only two restaurants available, which operated at limited times. While the quality of the food was good, the choices were extremely limited. Room service was a miss and always missed up our orders. This is something that the hotel should address and take seriously. On a positive note, our butler was exceptional.

It was absolutely beautiful and from a chilled point of view we could not have chosen better. Room was perfect .. until the 10 yachts parked outside it gave us not so much privacy especially on the last day when we were showering! It was ok but if we had stayed longer this would have begun to annoy me!

Just gentle feedback.. 1. Service at the restaurant was to slow.. sometimes only x2 staff on and long wait between starters and mains. Last day at breakfast my daughter had to ask twice for her iced coffee, had to remind the staff about our oj and water, then when they bought only one of each when we requested two we had a little bit of attitude from the staff member 2. Evening meal the day after the seafood bbq was a mistake .. I made a mistake to order lobster starter and main .. couldn’t finish either covered in to much sauce and the lobster I felt was left over from the night before. Grace had fish which was delicious!

Excellent hotel

The hotel is amazing, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited.

Nothing.

The location, the design, the service 👌🏾

Nothing

The villa is very well maintained and well equipped with a stunning view. The marine life is also very well preserved. Staff is the best part of the stay. We came with our 1.6 yo baby and he had a wonderful time.

The most common way to reach here is the helicopter. I find that quite restricted in terms of choices. However we also enjoy the helicopter ride.

This resort was AMAZING! Beautiful island and staffs are so kind!. Check in and check out was from our room. we didn't even have to go anywhere! Used the app to call buggies and room service. Shout out to Rodney for taking care of us and showing us around the island! He was a sweetheart!! And we just witnessed 3 critically endangered species of Hawksbill turtle get released into the ocean... the cutest thing EVER!! The water, the beach was SO gorgeous. And also a shout out to Dev at the spa for taking some beautiful pictures for us (selfie stick wasn't cutting it for us :) You MUST book the spa pool! It was out of this world! Wish we could stay longer! This resort was expensive but you get the premium services! Fell in love with this country. Definitely our top favorite destination along w/ Bora Bora. Seychelles is my 80th country to visit and I am overly surprised by it's beauty!

Top 👍

The location was amazing and the villa

The lack of restaurants and lack of water sports

Perfect location on a separate island. Decent spa and amazing hiking /views

Food menu could’ve been way better

It’s privacy and quality service

The v v poor quality of staff at entrance of hotel at boats dock

The Six Senses Manager " Gary"had treated me and my Family without any respect which shows that he dos not deserve to be a Manager.

Justin and Zanah from Reservatin plus the nature of the Island.

Amazing hotel, exceptional service and unbelievable villas!! Nestled around and over spectacular granite stones on a private Island this hotel is great just to stay but it is important not to miss neighboring Anse Source D’Argent in La Digue. Only a 10 minute boat away. The hotel organizes group or private excursions to the island. They don’t have the group excursions every day. Check in advance.

Infinity pool Hilltop experience

Food below standard
