FÉLICITÉ ISLAND,Seychelles July 6, 2016
Six Senses Spa Zil Pasyon is set to offer some of the most enthralling sensory experiences in the world thanks to the perfect synergy between its magical location and sophisticated island design.
Created by Six Senses Architecture and Design team and Richard Hywel Evans of Studio RHE in London, the spa complements the natural features of this 652-acre (263-hectare) private island of towering rocks, boulders and its lush and verdant jungle, as well as the oceanfront.
Six Senses Spa Zil Pasyon is spread over 19,000 square feet (1,765 square meters) of the islands natural rugged environment, while its facilities occupy 7,000 square feet (650 square meters). The spa will accentuate the islands natural geography through its materiality, texture and form. Combined with the integration of sustainable processes and technologies, it is designed to become an integral part of the islands eco-system and a symbiotic experience of the surrounding environmental and built features.
The guests sensory experience begins the moment they enter the spa reception. Located on the hill so to provide magnificent views of its surroundings, it is home to the latest Six Senses retail collection of natural skincare lines, resort wear, swimsuits, jewelry and accessories; as well as a nail bar with manicure and pedicure stations. The journey continues through a circular open-air oasis, leading to female and male changing areas. From here, the guests are taken on a curated tour of unique individual experiences and choreographed events through the islands dramatic rocky outcrop, pools and waterfalls.
Five double treatment villas, made of refined timber, have been carefully inserted amongst the natural features and designed to reflect the islands colors, textures and moods.
The Rock Villa, fully glassed and constructed between large granite boulders, is entered via an expansive platform and provides a dramatic setting for any spa treatment. It also features a rock shower on the cliff edge to allow guests fully appreciate its striking location. The Hanging Villa is built on a large rock and extended all the way out to create a suspended feeling. Its outdoor deck and a rock pool provide a perfect setting for post-treatment renewal and relaxation. Approached through a descending walkway set between dramatic boulders, The Ocean Villa is located right above the water offering 180-degree views of the ocean. Guests wishing to get even closer to the sea can relax in the suspended net outside the room.
The Nature Villa is surrounded by the local lush vegetation, all in line with the Six Senses philosophy of bringing guests closer to nature; while the Cave Villa is enveloped by high boulders that create a feeling of different intensity as if being protected from the world in a cave. A swinging daybed located outside this two-level villa timber structure will provide the perfect place to recharge batteries and admire the surroundings.
Spa experiences will be designed around the natural health-giving properties of the islands flora and fauna, and the natural rock shading and calming sounds of the sea. For minimal intrusion on the landscape, lightweight timber steps and rope bridges will link the different spa villas while fabric shading-sails create areas for rest and relaxation.
To further enhance the wellness journey, the spa also features an elevated open-air saltwater pool with a sundeck, and yoga and meditation pavilion. A viewing deck has been strategically positioned to offer some of the most spectacular views and will also be used to host a variety of wellness classes.
