About the Resort
The Seychelles, beautifully connected
STORY Seychelles sits right on Beau Vallon, the island's liveliest swimmable beach, ten minutes from the capital Victoria on the north coast of Mahé — so you get a gorgeous three-kilometre stretch of sand and the freedom to wander out to restaurants, markets and town. It is design-led and contemporary, in a Seychellois style, with a rooftop infinity pool and bar, the Sesel Spa with a hammam, and seven places to eat and drink, including the well-rated Eden barbecue and the all-day Mila's Kitchen. The accommodation is a collection of suites and villas, from junior suites with a freestanding tub to family suites and beach pool villas that open straight onto the sand, with a couples' Grand Beach Pool Villa for honeymoons. It is the most connected of the six — a base for guests who want town and beach life over isolation. On a bed-and-breakfast base, a short 30-minute drive from the airport, it pairs an easy location with genuine value.
