A REMOTE, HILLSIDE RETREAT click here to view full article listing

Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is a remote, hillside retreat that embraces the natural simplicity of treetop living. It occupies an isolated position overlooking the idyllic bay of Petite Anse, just 17 km (30 minutes drive) from Mahé international airport. The Resort covers a secluded area of 170 acres on the southwest coast of Mahé. It comprises 67 villas and suites and 28 Four Seasons Private Residences that descend down a lushly forested incline to the private, horseshoe beach of Petite Anse. Creole-inspired design complements the dramatic topography, with granite boulders, steep jungle slopes and a shoreline indented with pirate coves. Each of the 67 tree-house villas and suites is perched on stilts amidst a jungle of coconut, mango, jackfruit and cinnamon trees. Standard features in all villas include infinity-edge plunge pool, open-air shower, glass-walled bathroom and expansive, private outdoor living space with sunset views over the Indian Ocean or surrounding landscape. At the base of the Resort, black granite boulders, powder-white sand and lush tropical foliage combine with the azure blues of the sea and sky to create a vivid image of beachside perfection.

The Republic of Seychelles is a tropical haven of 115 islands, scattered across 1,374,000 sq km (530,000 sq miles) of the western Indian Ocean. The archipelago comprises 41 hilly, granite islands surrounded by 74 low-lying, coral islands. The islands are situated four to ten degrees south of the equator, 480 km to 1,600 km off the east coast of Africa.

ACCOMMODATION & DESIGN

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.

RECREATIONAL FACILITIES

Beach The private, horseshoe beach that lies at the foot of Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is one of the island’s best-kept secrets. Black granite boulders provide a dramatic backdrop to the powder-white sand and azure waters of the secluded cove. The bay is sheltered by dense vegetation and protected by an outer reef; as a result, the water is extremely calm, making it ideal for swimming and safe for families. Due to its protected position, the beach is remarkably free from erosion, maximising its picture-perfect appeal.
