One of the most powerful ways to maintain our kids’ health is through keeping them moving. But not all kids love all sports, which is why our resorts have plenty of ideas to help everyone join in and have fun, including the water polo and swim relay at Six Senses Zighy Bay, cycling or kick-boxing at Six Senses Yao Noi, dancing competitions at Six Senses Ninh Van Bay and tree climbing at Six Senses Douro Valley.

These activities also help children reconnect with nature as growing evidence shows that spending time in nature not only reduces stress, it also improves their psychological well-being. Many researchers around the world have also observed that children playing in open nature engage more easily in fantasy play, which nurtures their creativity and inventiveness.

So take your kids on some of our magical walking trails and trekking adventures, let them learn all about survival skills with our team of experts, explore the flora and fauna around the resort or immerse them in local culture to enhance their well-being.

Following the acclaimed launch of Six Senses Zil Pasyon in Seychelles last October, you can now relax and revive in a location unlike any other at the newly opened Six Senses Spa. Created by Six Senses Architecture and Design team and Richard Hywel Evans of Studio RHE in London, the spa is immersed in the private island’s natural beauty of towering rocks, granite boulders and lush jungle, encircled by the aquamarine Indian Ocean.

Six Senses Spa Zil Pasyon is spread over 19,000 square feet (1,765 square meters) of the island’s rugged environment and accentuates the island’s beautiful topography through its materiality, texture and form. It is designed to mirror the existing landscape while forming an integral part of the island’s ecosystem.

Anna Bjurstam, vice president, Six Senses Spas said, “At Six Senses Zil Pasyon, we felt that nature was so dramatic that we could not tame it, instead we wanted nature to tame us. We looked at how nature could guide us in our design, and consequently we have treatment villas situated between rocks, on top of rocks and floating above the ocean. The yoga pavilion and wet area are not constrained inside a building, but built on top of the rocks among the lush natural foliage. The infinity-edge pool offers expansive sea views for exclusive spa guest usage. In addition, we focused on using natural materials such as wood and rock, chemical-free upholstery and smart biological lighting at night to ensure that the design supports our circadian rhythm.”

The spa offers a wide range of signature treatments, result-driven facial and body therapies by The Organic Pharmacy and locally inspired scrubs and beauty services.

Teaming up with organic skincare brand Terres d’Afrique, Six Senses Spa Zil Payson offers five exclusive journeys. Examples include the Ocean Journey, which is inspired by the powerful energy of the sea and combines aromatherapy, acupressure and reflexology with hot and cold massage techniques to unblock energy pathways. The Rock Journey takes its cue from the surrounding rocks and boulders and is designed to release muscle aches, stress and tension through stretching techniques and cross muscle fiber techniques using heat. The Floating Journey focuses on reconnecting the body and mind, and uplifting the spirit. In addition, the spa team and Terres d’Afrique created a special spa journey for couples (Ubuntu) which reignites togetherness in a mindful and playful way through a series of treatments and time spent together.

We can all have an inner child dwelling within us. So why not capture its power with help of our Visiting Practitioner, Claude Simard?

Claude believes that giving your inner child more freedom through a psycho-energetic and therapeutic process will noticeably increase your energy and health and help you to make better lifestyle choices.

The inner child is widely recognized in psychology as a sensitive and spontaneous part of ourselves, which is usually under the control of the waking conscious mind. Claude has been working with a psycho-energetic approach to help people to rediscover their inner child for over 20 years. During a Psycho-Energetic massage treatment or an Inner Child Therapy session, you are guided in reconnecting with this deep part of yourself.

In these sessions you can reclaim your ability to instinctively sense what is right for you by developing more trust in your own feelings. This can help you in all areas of your life, from business decisions to creating a fulfilling love relationship with your partner.

Your inner child has the ability to think outside of the box. Greater acceptance of this part of yourself will enable you to access more of your own creative inspirations.

With this therapeutic approach you can re-harmonize and rebalance emotionally and energetically at a deep level. As we grow up, programming and limiting beliefs are often received that can manifest as obstacles in life, diminishing happiness. When reconnecting you with your inner child, you are guided in releasing any blockages and strengthening your energetic base, so your emotional balance will improve and you can open up to feel the healing power of deeper love.

Claude will be visiting Six Senses Spa Laamu from June 25 to August 20; Six Senses Spa Kunfunadhoo from October 1 to November 15; and Six Senses Spa Koh Kood from December 17, 2017 to January 14, 2018.
