Hotel information
Cheval Blanc Seychelles brings a new level of refinement to the Seychelles – one which invites you to switch off and forget about the world the moment you first set foot on its golden, sandy shores.
Contemporary villas sit between dense jungle and clear turquoise water, offering space, privacy and direct access to one of the island’s most striking bays. Whichever one catches your eye will include a dedicated ‘Ambassadeur’ butler, ensuring each detail of your stay is carefully arranged around you.
It’s ideal whether you’re travelling as a couple or with family. Expansive spaces and attentive service create a calm, private setting for adults, while Le Carrousel (one of the Seychelles’ largest children’s clubs) gives younger travellers their own time to learn and play. Plus, it has a waterpark, pools and a wide-ranging activities programme, making longer stays especially rewarding for families.
After or in between your relaxation and excitement, tuck into a fine dining experience at one of the five excellent restaurants, which showcase a range of cuisines from Japanese to Creole. The signature establishment, Le 1947, opens on select evenings for French fine dining, while relaxed venues plate up flexible daytime options. To top it all off, amid the hillside's greenery is the Cheval Blanc Spa, which works to soothe your system with tailored treatments created in partnership with Guerlain.
Beyond the resort, Mahé is open for exploration, from visiting Victoria’s botanical gardens to observing marine life in nearby national parks. You might also want to take to the water on a sunset cruise. To tailor these into your luxury Seychelles holiday, speak with our Travel Specialists today.
For the most exclusive setting, Villa Horizon offers elevated views and a generous living space.
