La Digue Island, Seychelles

Félicité Island is a small heavy forested granitic island 4 kilometres east of La Digue in the Seychelles. It is the fifth largest island in the Seychelles archipelago, measuring 2.68 square kilometres .Up until the 1970s it was a coconut plantation that had a population of about 50. In the late 19th century, Félicité was home to Sultan Abdullah of Perak, who was exiled here by the British. In 2007, the Seychelles government granted a 99-year lease for the then-uninhabited island, which was taken over by Singaporean real estate developer Kishore Buxani in 2013. Buxani and Mukesh Valabhji, a Seychellois developer, started the construction of a resort in mid-2013. Today, the Six Senses Zil Pasyon resort, with 30 villas and a spa, covers a third of the island.Félicité and four granitic neighboring islands are considered satellite islands of La Digue. These four islands are routinely visited by tourists: Ile Cocos: a tiny islet off the north coast of Félicité which has been part of a marine park since 1996. Les Soeurs : which consists of Grande Soeur at 0.84 square kilometres and Petite Soeur at 0.34 square kilometres . For much of the 20th century they were coconut plantations. Marianne Island: An island of 0.96 square kilometres east of Félicité. The southern tip of Marianne is considered a world class diving location.
