Spa plans revealed for Six Senses Zil Pasyon resort in the Seychelles
The Six Senses Zil Pasyon resort, located on the private island of Félicité in the Seychelles, is scheduled to open in July 2015 with a Six Senses Spa and a yoga pavilion on the granite boulders that punctuate the shoreline.
Designed by Richard Hywel Evans of Studio RHE, the resort will comprise 28 one-bedroom villas, two two-bedroom villas and 17 private residences – all with private pools. Six Senses will oversee the interior design of the resort.
The Six Senses Spa will feature five self-contained double treatment rooms – dubbed ‘villas’ because they will be used for guests to relax in after their treatments. The Rock Villa will offer an outdoor experience shower. The Cave Villa will have a swing daybed, steamroom and outdoor experience shower – as will the Nature Villa. The Hanging Villa will include an outdoor bucket shower and rock pool. The Ocean Villa will be on the rocks overlooking the ocean.
Communal wet areas are planned for the reception building and are set to include a sauna, steamroom, experience shower and private changing rooms. There will also be a beauty salon offering manicures and pedicures. Externally, a herb garden is planned, in addition to an outdoor pool, sun deck and chill out waiting area.
The total interior space for guests within the spa measures 525.8sq m (5,660sq ft).
Accessible by helicopter from the nearby Mahe International Airport, or a short boat ride from neighbouring La Digue and Praslin islands, the 652-acre (264-hectare) Six Senses Zil Pasyon resort will occupy less than one third of the island’s total land.
Leisure facilities at the resort will include two restaurants, a bar, retail boutiques, a recreation centre and a gym.
