The Resort complements the architecture and nature of Mahé and is typically Creole in design. The high thatched roofs and teak wood floors of the main buildings reflect the colonial influences found across the island, while the 67 villas and suites are constructed of natural timber and brick, blending into the background of tropical vegetation and wind-sculptured granite. All accommodations feature expansive outdoor spaces that sit high amongst the surrounding coconut, mango, jackfruit and cinnamon trees imparting a distinct sense of treetop living.
Hilltop Ocean-View, Ocean-View and Garden-View Villas
There are 62 single-storey Hilltop Ocean-View, Ocean-View and Garden-View Villas. Each villa occupies a secluded position, accessed via its own wooden path and overlooks the Indian Ocean or the verdant surrounds. The villas feature a stilted pavilion, built high amongst the tropical canopy. Indoor and outdoor living space extends to 186 sq m (2,002 sq ft) and includes a large infinity plunge pool and outdoor shower. The surrounding hardwood deck is furnished with chaise longues and a dining area. A smaller, second pavilion houses a daybed, perfect for an al fresco massage or a fan-cooled afternoon siesta.
The bedroom and bathroom lead directly off the deck and exude a simple yet elegant Creole style, featuring tropical rosewood, silk prints and accents of Andaman blue. Standard audiovisual equipment includes a 27” flat screen TV, CD/DVD player, Hi-Fi and iPod docking station.
