}}Félicité Island is a small heavy forested granitic island {{convert|4|km|mi|0}} east of La Digue in the Seychelles. It is the fifth largest island in the Seychelles archipelago, measuring {{convert|2.68|km2|mi2}}.[1]

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.[2][3][4]

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 (.017 km²) off the north coast of Félicité which has been part of a marine park since 1996.
  • Les Soeurs (The Sisters): which consists of Grande Soeur at {{convert|0.84|km2|mi2}} and Petite Soeur at {{convert|0.34|km2|mi2}}. For much of the 20th century they were coconut plantations.[5][6]
  • Marianne Island: An island of {{convert|238|acre|km2|disp=flip}} east of Félicité. The southern tip of Marianne is considered a "world class" diving location.
