Environmentally Friendly Resort Seychelles

Set among granite boulders and lush forest overlooking the beach and coral reefs, our Resort offers a rich natural setting to explore Seychelles’ unique flora and fauna. Through partnerships with local environmental organizations and our resident marine education specialists, we promote sustainability, education and guest engagement.

Activities

Love on the Reef
Celebrate your connection with a shared coral planting experience for couples. Work together to prepare fragments as a symbol of growth and unity. Then, watch as they are placed in the coral nursery. Follow your coral’s journey over time and create a living memento of your Seychelles adventure.
Snorkelling with Marine Biologists
Head out into the turquoise waters of Petite Anse with our marine team to marvel at coral gardens rich with tropical fish, rays and turtles. Suitable for those with previous snorkelling experience, this magical adventure includes expert insights into marine life and local ecology.
Coral Discovery
Uncover the secrets of the reef at a special workshop with our resident marine team. Learn how coral ecosystems function and why they matter. Discover ongoing restoration work at Petit Anse and engage with hands-on demonstrations that bring conservation to life.
Restore the Reef
Work alongside our marine team and take part in one of the Seychelles’ most well-established reef restoration projects. Learn the process, prepare your own coral fragments, and help build a reef nursery. Includes the option to track its growth in the ocean over time.
Landscape Tour
Our Resort was formerly a fruit plantation, and you can see how many of the trees were maintained on site as you explore the grounds. Pick fruits such as mango, starfruit, jackfruit and noni while learning about their uses in cooking, spa and healing. Speak to the Concierge to book this complimentary tour.

It feels like such a privilege to work in a bay as beautiful as Petite Anse, both for restoring the coral reef here and also for sharing it with all of the visiting guests.

Minimizing Plastic: In our mission to be plastic free, we no longer use any plastic straws or water bottles. Our water is produced and bottled into glass bottles in-house. Straws are made from plants and, on the beach, bamboo straws are used for drinks and fresh coconuts.
Energy Efficiency: To save energy, a nightly power-saving check is conducted to ensure that all unnecessary sources of energy and light are switched off. All lights around the Resort have also been replaced with LED bulbs. Our air conditioning units are fitted with a heat recovery system. In this process, the heat being removed by the air conditioning is directly transferred to the hot water tank to support the heating of the water to a fixed temperature, while reducing the need for further energy consumption.
Chemical Free: The cleaning agents used throughout the resort are chemical free and sourced from brands with a green footprint.
Recycling: To ensure maximum use of our water supply, waste water is treated in house and used for landscaping purposes. The kitchen and engine oil, batteries, glass bottles and tyres are collected by a local contracted partner to further recycle the items off-site.
Sourcing Locally: Aside from codfish, all our seafood, including yellowfin tuna, wahoo, grouper, snapper, jobfish, mahi mahi, calamari and octopus, are sourced through local fishermen. Many of our fruits, such as mango, papaya, coconut, starfruit and more, are picked from trees within the Resort premises, when available seasonally, while others are sourced locally.
