Constance Lemuria is an idyllic hideaway providing an escape from the stress of modern life. Its open-plan design, along with its unobtrusive architecture and traditional thatched roofs, allows the resort to melt into the surrounding foliage. From a flawless 18-hole championship golf course to a tranquil spa, you can relax and enjoy the wide range of facilities that this elegant retreat has to offer. The hotel has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment, freshening up all of the main areas and suites with a colourful new look and feel. World-class dining includes barefoot lunches at the understated Takamaka beach restaurant, where the chef prepares sushi with a Seychellois twist; fresh Creole-style seafood at The Nest, set out on the peninsula; and modern Mediterranean flavours at Diva, where there’s a new destination dining wine cellar. Most of the restaurants have an accompanying bar. We love The Nest bar for its views over Grande Anse and Petite Anse Kerlan beaches and the chilled-out Huna bar with its creative cocktail list. The chic suites and villas each feature all the mod-cons you’d expect from a world-class hotel. You’ll also enjoy an additional al fresco dining area, private pool and the option of a private chef or barbecue in the villas – ideal for families, groups or those looking to experience the epitome of luxury.
On Silhouette – the Seychelles’ third biggest island – sits Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa. Set on a beach within a designated national marine park and just around the corner from the historic village of La Passe, whose inhabitants are involved in the conservation of the island and its waters, the resort offers surrounds in one of the richest biodiversity hotspots in the Indian Ocean. Here, you can spot turtles laying their eggs on the sands near the hotel. If you like to explore, the island offers some fantastic hiking. Organised by the hotel, you can experience some breathtaking landscapes on trips including Anse Mondon, where you’ll pass Belle Vue and enjoy panoramic sea views, before arriving in a secluded cove in the north of the island. You can then hop aboard a boat for a journey back to the hotel to enjoy the view from a different perspective. There are two all-day-dining restaurants and four dinner restaurants, meaning your idyllic island experience includes some of the best food found in the Seychelles. There is a mix of international and speciality restaurants, as well as a great bar. The spa is a feature not to be missed. Surrounded by the jungle and incorporated into the cliff, its stilted treatment rooms immerse you in nature and offer magical views. The hotel’s spacious, comfortable and chic villas are scattered throughout the resort. Choose between a Garden Villa or a Beachfront Villa, or upgrade to a private Deluxe Beachfront Villa for a private pool and dining pavilion. If you're after some peace and quiet, the spacious Sanctuary Pool Villas offer unparalleled privacy on the hillside.
With acres of space, Constance Ephélia is a beautiful haven surrounded by abundant greenery, offering a sense of privacy and comfortable seclusion. Created to blend seamlessly with its natural setting, the hotel overlooks two stunning beaches. The first sits to the front of the main building and the Junior Suites, while the other is found on the opposite side, overlooked by the Senior Suites and Villas. When it comes to facilities, Constance Ephélia seemingly has it all. From a vast selection of restaurants, bars and high-end boutiques, to a serene spa, fun kids’ club and watersports centre, the range of activities on offer makes this the perfect escape for families. The U Spa by Constance is a real highlight. Here, the hydrotherapy pool, reflexology walkway and calming yoga pavillion allow you to unwind and embark on a journey of the senses. All of the suites and villas are elegant, spacious and come with all the conveniences you’d expect including free Wi-Fi and an Apple Mac mini. The Junior Suites are just steps from the beach and are conveniently located by the main reception and shared pools. On the north side, near Port Launay National Marine Park, are the Family Villas, Senior Suites and all other Villas. Drinking in views of the Marine Park, couples and honeymooners will love the One-and-Two Bedroom Hillside Villas – seriously stylish and romantic escapes with in-villa dining and private infinity pools.
If you are looking for a relaxing break in a romantic setting, then this welcoming resort is ideal. Spend a couple of nights on the tiny picturesque island of La Digue, combined with one of the larger islands, such as Mahé or Praslin to get a real feel of the Seychelles. The resort’s architectural style – plenty of warm wood, stone and thatch – reflects the natural beauty of the island which is studded with large pink granite rocks. The zen-style décor, seamless service and comfortable open-air areas create a soothing home-away-from-home. The resort is set in lush vegetation just steps from a beautiful white-sand beach and the offshore coral reef offers superb snorkelling. The stunning infinity pool overlooks the bay and the sleek sundeck is the perfect spot for admiring the sunset over the ocean and the mountains beyond. The all-day dining area is home to two restaurants that offer Mediterranean and Creole dishes. Head to Le Combava on the roof terrace for à la carte dining with an emphasis on seafood. Tuck into the catch-of-the-day and watch the sun set over the ocean from the deck at Santosha which also offers a buffet breakfast, live cooking station and international and Creole dishes. Sip cocktails in the elegant open-air lounge bar overlooking the lagoon, or at the casual pool bar. The treehouse-style villas are tucked away in the tropical gardens and scattered up the hillside. Buggies are available to whisk you up to the hillside rooms and the higher up you go, the more impressive the views are. Garden Villas are set at the bottom of the hillside closer to the facilities while the Villa de Charme are set on the slope of the hill and feature an outside bathroom.
While the Seychelles isn’t exactly short on beaches, some make your jaw drop. This is one of them: sand as soft as icing sugar, water in jewel tones. Barbarons Beach is part of AVANI Barbarons Seychelles Resort, a peaceful hideout on the west coast of Mahé – the only retreat on this coastal stretch. The sandy crescent is encircled by a wall of emerald foliage, concealing low-slung rooms and suites made from indigenous materials. A bedroom-to-beach vibe means you’re always only steps from the ocean: wake up with a refreshing dip or take a cooling afternoon bathe as respite from the balmy sun. Rooms and suites are bright and breezy, with African-inspired furnishings and lots of gleaming wood, accented with splashes of blue in shades of the sea. Pick an Avani Beachfront Room for easy access to the palm-fringed shore – or go all out with an Avani Ocean View Suite for double the space and a private balcony. It’s all about laid-back luxury here: indulge in a decadent spa massage; we recommend trying the blissful Comfort Zone Tranquility Body Ritual). Work your way through the hotel’s six dining options: highlights include fresh seafood at the ocean-view Elements and Pan Asian plates on the waterside deck at Tamarind. Later, linger over drinks at chilled day-to-night hangout Gravity – the best spot for catching a staggering sunset.
Jungle meets sea on the picturesque peninsula at the northern tip of Mahé. It's here, overlooking Beau Vallon bay, that you’ll find Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa. A cluster of thatched villas tumbles down the hillside to the jade-coloured waters below, framed by huge granite boulders and tropical foliage – it’s easy to see why this spot was a favoured haunt of James Bond author Ian Fleming. Seychellois architecture influences the design of the rooms – all glossy wood and glass-panel French doors – accented with original artwork and bold pops of lime green or cherry red. The room to book is the Grand Ocean View Pool Villa for your own private infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean and Silhouette Island – perfect for honeymooners. This view also provides a postcard-perfect backdrop to the spa, infinity pool and yoga pavilion. But perhaps the best spot to take in the postcard-pretty water views is Les Cocotiers restaurant; watch the sun go out in a fiery blaze, cocktail in hand. You’re in a great location for exploring Mahé. Gawk at the coco de mer palms in Victoria Botanical Gardens or browse the local Creole handicrafts at the Domaine de Val des Prés. Island-hopping is the best way to discover the jewels of the archipelago; don’t miss the beach-dotted coastline of Eden Island and the giant tortoises roaming Moyenne Island.
