This resort is the ultimate island retreat for couples, those seeking wellness, and anyone looking to relax in paradise.

Overview

LVMH is the luxury giant behind the Cheval Blanc collection of "maisons". These are a set of far-flung accommodations with modest size, but lofty luxury aspirations. Cheval Blanc Seychelles, for example, is an emblem. It has 52 villas, either on the forested hillside or on the beach. These villas are in the space of the former Banyan Tree. The hotel's architect is Jean-Michel Gathy.

A Guerlain Spa and several high-end restaurants and bars also support the resort. The service and comfort are unmatched, as is their quality. However, that applies to many luxury hotel brands.

Location

Anse Intendance Beach is just steps away from the hotel, which is 9.9 mi (or 15 km) from Seychelles International Airport. Victoria Clock Tower is also nearby, as are the Seychelles National Botanical Gardens. Moreover, the area boasts numerous hiking trails.

Facilities

It's not a large property, but they have packed in an impressive amount of space. The property is small, so you can easily walk around it if staying at the beach villa. Still, the designers fit a lot into the limited space.

Four swimming pools are next to the fitness center. The "flagship pool" is in front of Vivamento. There's also a small pool that's shaded near the beach.

Moreover, there is a solid gym with high ceilings and a spacious layout. The TechnoGym machines are also fully equipped. Separate changing rooms are available for both men and women. They also have their own saunas and steam rooms.

Villas

There are 24 beachfront villas and 28 more stacked on stilts above the hillside. They range in size from 220 to 680 square meters. Moreover, they all have private infinity swimming pools.

The beach villa has high ceilings inspired by Creole-style architecture. They feel like those in a church. Besides, when the floor-to-ceiling doors open, you can see the pool, cabana, outdoor dining area, and seating areas.

The bright greens, blues, and stone mix well with whites, textures, ceramics, fabrics, and mother-of-pearl inlays. The beds are positioned on the dais to allow for easy access to the views. The artwork also blends hues of cream, brown, and blue, reflecting the hotel's color palette.

Panorama Hill Villas is located high on the mountainside. They offer 180-degree views of the surrounding area, including the trees, the bay, and the mountains. There is also a large house that sleeps ten.

Dining

The resort dining areas are sophisticated yet unpretentious. Mizumi is a Southeast Asian restaurant that both purists and the general public will love. It's in a Creole-style house near the "lake" of this resort. Moreover, Brasserie-style Le White serves a crowd-pleasing menu with classics.

Le 1947 is the brand's haute-cuisine signature restaurant. It is a spinoff from the three-Michelin-starred original Cheval Blanc Courchevel. Additionally, Vivamento is a poolside Italian restaurant that serves classics made by moms. Sula is another restaurant that overlooks the resort's private infinity pool.

During this soft opening, chefs welcome guests and discuss the menu. It doesn't matter if it rains or shines; you can still enjoy the beach view.

Spa

The Guerlain Spa is situated on a hillside, surrounded by eight cabanas and lush vegetation. Each one has a different theme and treatment. The LVMH cosmetics, skincare, and perfumes are lined up at the reception. A jasmine-based Guerlain fragrance also fills the air.

After a 90-minute Wonders of Shells Treatment, they may take you on a beach walk with warm towels. The facial that follows includes a quick cleansing. In place of hot rocks, she may use heated seashells to massage the muscles and remove dead skin cells.

There is also a variety of signature Guerlain treatments. These include a Seychelles-inspired treatment using a warm quartz table and water rituals with steam and ice. There is also a dream ritual combining sound therapy and slow drainage.

Area

The order of the morning is peace. This modest resort is a 45-minute drive away from the tiny Seychelles International Airport. It also sits on the sandy Anse Intendance Beach, which forms a large bay on Mahe's southwest coast.

Moreover, it is the only hotel along this stretch of beach. The lifeguard patrols it from a hidden end. The sea here is not protected by coral reefs like other beaches. Instead, the waves rage onto the beach, creating a turquoise-tinted strip with foam.

Opening week sees the island's north west monsoon in full swing, with heavy rains and an erratic breeze moving the seas. Few brave walkers dare to venture along the shoreline.

Family-Friendly

Le Carousel is a 20,000-square-foot kids' club that caters to children up to the age of 12. It has an exciting pirate theme and includes a climbing net, treasure chest, indoor lighthouse, and a pool with a slide. Moreover, tennis, padel, and a wave pool are also available for older kids (and adults who enjoy being active).

There are also lifts in the main lodge, as well as slides that allow guests to move around without any restrictions. A few villas also cater to guests with special needs.

Takeaway

Cheval Blanc Seychelles will take you on a journey of style and serenity. The flawless design and personalized service make every visit feel special. You can enjoy a relaxing time by the beach, world-class dining, or the natural beauty of the island. This property offers a refined, secluded oasis wrapped in elegance. It will leave you feeling inspired and refreshed.
