Six Senses Zil Pasyon

Honestly, this experience was one of a kind! Although the arrival was surreal via our private Helicopter ride; yet, something was missing during my stay! You’ll understand soon. The resort is lovely and not old enough, around seven years ago, and located on a very awesome Island called Felicity. Most of the staff are newly recruited, and honestly, most of them are the kindest people. However, I read the news later on and discovered what happened on that island a few months ago, and that was horrible!! Then I knew what it was missing: just a touch of renovation to revive the place, maybe new designs, events, food, etc. Otherwise, I would say that I had a below-normal experience in my first Six Senses Chain experience, especially since the previous resot was Anantara Maia, which was an unforgettable one. Finally, the Spa experience was the only activity I recommend, and it was entertaining and energetic. I appreciate your understanding. I hope that my reviews will help you to choose the right place!

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.

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!

Disappointed with our recent stay at Six Senses Seychelles. The €1,400 speedboat transfer to Mahé was extremely unsafe and uncomfortable—no life vests, no protection from waves, and a dangerously rough ride that left us soaked and nauseous. No prior warning about the conditions, and minimal crew presence. This experience fell far below the standards we expect from a luxury brand.

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.
