The only resort on Félicité island, a 20-minute boat ride from both Praslin and La Digue islands, or a 20-minute helicopter flight from Mahé airport.

Félicité, a private island in the Seychelles.

Just 30 villas, each with a large private infinity pool, are scattered throughout the resort’s 652 acres, giving a real sense of space. Hideaway Pool Villas are a generous size and offer sundecks fringed with tropical foliage to ensure privacy. Panorama Pool Villas are set higher up with breathtaking views, and additionally feature an outdoor dining area and day bed; Oceanfront Pool Villas have the same layout but are closer to the water so you can hear the waves and feel the ocean breeze. The exquisite Pasyon Pool Villas enjoy either a larger combined bedroom and living space and a location near the beach, or an extended garden with additional daybed and outdoor shower. The two popular Signature Pool Villas offer additional space, stunning sunset views and a wonderfully private setting close to the beach. For larger families there are also Two Bedroom Pool Villas or the impressive Three or Four Bedroom Residences, each with two private pools.

Three restaurants serve up an eclectic variety of cuisine, reflecting of the diverse range of cultures that have come to the Seychelles over the centuries. Much of the produce comes from the resort’s own organic garden, and this is especially so at Ocean Kitchen, where the local catch of the day is served up with home grown herbs and vegetables. The Chef’s Kitchen is also not to be missed, as you will be seated at an intimate table, designed for interaction with the chef, as each course is prepared to your tastes. A private dining option in the Wine Cellar is also available, where a sommelier will expertly pair your dishes with the right vintage, to really set your taste buds alight.

There’s an array of pursuits, organised by the Experiences Centre, including scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing and kayaking, as well as cooking classes, nature trails, pétanque, ‘Cinema under the Stars’ and treasure hunts. Island-hopping by boat can also be arranged, and it’s well worth taking a trip to La Digue, where you’ll find further stunning beaches and a hint of the Seychelles from an era gone by. Back at the resort, the superb Six Senses Spa features five double treatment villas and an elevated infinity pool with sundeck, yoga and meditation pavilion. A whole host of fun activities are available at Trouloulou’s Club for children aged 4-12 yrs, including mocktail making, sand castle building, coconut painting and scavenger hunts.
