White sand beaches and crystal clear water beckon guests to the private island of Félicité, which melds untouched beauty with creature comforts at the island’s Six Senses Zil Pasyon resort. Félicité is one of 115 islands in the Seychelles, where perpetual summer allows fugitives from the humdrum to chill or to pack in the action as the mood takes them.

The sensation of standing alone in a natural theatre formed by the Indian Ocean and the sky is magnified by the intimacy of the resort. There are 28 one-bedroom villas, two twin-bedroom villas and 17 private residences, all with their own swimming pool. The resort is due to open this summer. sixsenses.com
