Seychelles is one of the world’s most exclusive holiday home destinations, drenched in magic, with lavish colonial charm and carefree chic.
Never will one see a more beautiful, peaceful setting than at the villas for sale at Zil Pasyon on Félicité Island in the Seychelles. With Félicité’s celebrated natural beauty as a matchless backdrop, this hideaway gem is synonymous with a lifestyle of escapism, exclusivity, privacy and pampering.
Félicité, adjacent to Ile Cocos Marine National Park, enjoys an almost untouched remote atmosphere, yet it is within a stone’s throw of the larger islands of Praslin and La Digue and 20 minutes by helicopter from Mahé International Airport. Félicité can also be reached by private yacht via a leisurely 90-minute journey from Mahé.
The 652-acre (263-hectare) Félicité Island enjoys a reputation for being one of the most beautifully dramatic and unspoilt of the 115 islands that comprise the Seychelles nation. With massive granite boulders fringing the pristine shoreline and postcard-perfect beaches, it is the island’s immense beauty that makes it the perfect location for the new Six Senses Zil Pasyon and the private residences for sale. Félicité represents the best of that which makes Seychelles so enchantingly unique. Until now, it has been a well-kept secret. Home to just the Six Senses Zil Pasyon and Zil Pasyon private residences, Félicité guarantees a paradisiac environment.
Zil Pasyon, managed by multi-awarded Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas, offers a select collection of private residences for sale at the pinnacle of Félicité Island. Collectors of distinctive homes and trophy properties will enjoy the Creole lifestyle of sun and sea worship, snorkelling, fishing, diving, sailing and bird-watching. It also offers the perfect escape from every-day life, with the joy of doing nothing. With arresting views at every turn, the entire development occupies only one-third of Félicité, with the rest of the island left to the beauty of nature and wildlife.
Conceived by award-winning architect Richard Hywel Evans (Studio RHE), each strikingly designed villa is the result of a clear appreciation for nature and cutting-edge modernity. The ocean view lifestyle is accentuated with flowing contemporary living spaces and sweeping panoramas of the resort and surrounding islands. Each residence offers the maximum level of privacy, space and comfort, creating the ultimate luxury island lifestyle.
Living here certainly comes with its benefits and privileges, such as residency permits for up to six dependents, professionally managed rental programme and access to a full range of world-class resort amenities. Seychelles provides attractive tax benefits which currently includes no capital gains tax, annual property tax or inheritance tax.
