...The review

Cheval Blanc Seychelles

An established luxury travel brand with outposts in the Maldives, Caribbean and France, Cheval Blanc’s latest resort is located in the paradisical settings of the Seychelles.

Perched on the pristine shores of Anse Intendance and backed by lush jungle, Cheval Blanc Seychelles is a villa-only hideaway resort of unparalleled charm, design, art and luxury. This exquisite resort, designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy, blends the tropical natural beauty of the Seychelles with the refinement of the Cheval Blanc brand.

"Powder-white sands, the aquamarine-blue Indian Ocean, lush greenery and sculpted granite rocks create a stunning backdrop for Cheval Blanc Seychelles. This resort harmoniously blends with its natural surroundings while its modern design, inspired by local Creole architectural traditions, allows it to stand out in style.”

Things to do

Cheval Blanc Seychelles’ pretty-as-a-postcard views invite easy relaxation on its white sands under a swaying palm tree and the island’s untamed nature means that hikes, deserted picnics and encounters with ancient tortoises are part of the magic of each day. To get your bearings, experience a mesmerising bird’s eye view of this tropical landscape with a scenic flight over the archipelago. Out at sea, enjoy a blissful day sailing, perhaps dropping anchor by Praslin Island, home to the famous Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the unique Coco de Mer palm trees. Back at the resort, battle it out on the tennis or padel court, test out the Seychelles’ only surf simulator or indulge yourself at the spa with their restorative Guerlain ritual treatments.

Sleeping

Found on the beach or tethered to the hillside, the 52 villas at Cheval Blanc Seychelles are sanctuaries of calm, inspired by nature and Creole traditions with well-designed living spaces that open out onto outdoor terraces. If you love sand between your toes, the elegant Beach Retreat Villas set on two floors with three bedrooms are perfect for families while the Jungle Hill Villas feel more private, shrouded by flourishing nature. The Panorama Hill Villas will wow you with their mind-expanding sea views.

Food & Drink

The wealth of sophisticated culinary choice spread across Cheval Blanc’s five elegant dining destinations mean that eating and drinking here is a highlight. A mix of fine French cuisine, Asian zing and Mediterranean flair ensures that there’s always something delectable, fresh or even new to try. For a special evening, celebrate with a secluded beach barbecue under a sky full or stars or enjoy a spectacular chef-prepared menu especially for you, served between the iconic granite boulders that the Seychelles are known for.
