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.
