Spread across 19,000sq ft of Félicité Island, the new Six Senses Spa Zil Pasyon has opened in the Seychelles.
Created by the Six Senses Architecture and Design team alongside Richard Hywel Evans of Studio RHE in London, the spa sits amidst the private island’s towering rocks, granitic boulders and lush jungle. It has been designed to be an integral part of Félicité’s ecosystem and to mirror the existing landscape of the fifth largest island in Seychelles.
Anna Bjurstam, vice president of Six Senses Spas, says: ‘At Six Senses Zil Pasyon we felt the surrounding nature was so dramatic we could not tame it. Consequently we have treatment villas situated between rocks, on top of rocks and floating above the ocean. Even the yoga pavilion and wet area are built on top of the rocks amongst lush foliage and the infinity-edge pool offers expansive sea views.’
Six Senses Spa Zil Pasyon features an elevated open-air saltwater pool with a sundeck, sauna and steam rooms. The spa journey takes guests on a winding pathway through, and underneath, the vast granitic rocks to five double treatment villas, each made of refined timber.
The spa, which sits at the heart of the 30-villa resort, offers a wide range of signature treatments, facial and body therapies by The Organic Pharmacy alongside locally-inspired scrubs and beauty services. Organic skincare brand Terres d’Afrique has created five exclusive spa journeys.
The spa also offers the recently launched Wellness Screening which allows in-house wellness experts to measure and analyse key physiological biomarkers of health to provide guests with lifestyle advice, and design a personalised program of spa treatments, fitness and wellness activities.
The Spa Zil Pasyon brings the total number of Six Senses Spas worldwide to 31, in 20 countries.
