DESIGN
The bathroom of a pool villa
started this spa design , we carefully selected the location where all spa functions will be to make sure we will not destroy the beautiful rock profile of the area .”
Built at a cost of over US $ 107 million , Six Senses Zil Pasyon , which occupies less than a third of the island , opened in October with 15 villas .
Grosmangin says it has been performing above expectations since opening with an ADR above US $ 1,100 . Now that the other 15 villas and spa are completed , it will start to welcome partners to discover and inch its ADR up to the targeted US $ 1,200 .
“ While some private ( hotels ) or small hotel chains have opened in the past few years on Mahe ( the main island ), Six Senses Zil Pasyon is the new ‘ private island ’ to open in many years ,” Grosmangin says .
Getting there can be a bit of a hassle : a 20-minute flight from Seychelles International Airport in Mahe to the hotel ’ s helipad or a boat ride from La Digue or Praslin islands . Once there , guests may feel like castaways with the black granite boulders , some in the shape of huge animals , creating a sense of fantasy and mystery .
“ Some even call it Jurassic ,” Grosmangin says .
Guest rooms replicate ocean blues and cool colors .
Suite dining puts an emphasis on the view .
