Cheval Blanc Seychelles

Artist's retreat in the shade of the coconut palms

Lined with coconut palms and rocks scattered here and there, it is along the south-western coast of the island of Mahé, on the pristine beach of Anse Intendance, that the Cheval Blanc group has chosen to establish its sixth and brand-new property. Cheval Blanc Seychelles, designed as a true «home», stands out for its architecture by Jean-Michel Gathy, which pays homage to Creole traditions whilst celebrating the splendour of the surrounding natural landscape. The 52 villas, spread across the beach, the hills and the lush vegetation, offer generous spaces ranging from 220 to 1,950 m², combining contemporary elegance with absolute comfort. Each features a private swimming pool, with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean or the tropical jungle. The resort showcases contemporary art as if it were a living gallery, featuring works by artists such as Prune Nourry and Joël Andrianomearisoa, which adorn the walls of the villas and the restaurant Le White, a venue with a vibrant atmosphere. Through sculptures, ceramic murals and works created specifically for each space, the art interacts with the tropical surroundings, creating a unique atmosphere where modernity and local influences intertwine harmoniously. When it comes to gastronomy, the hotel offers a five-course culinary journey through creative restaurants such as Mizumi, dedicated to Asian cuisine; Vivamento, serving refined Italian cuisine; and Sula, a Mediterranean beach club. Cheval Blanc’s signature concepts, such as Le 1947, a French fine-dining restaurant, and Le White, the quintessential cosmopolitan venue, complete this offering, allowing guests to delight their taste buds. Nestled amidst lush greenery, the cocoon-like Cheval Blanc Spa invites guests to experience absolute relaxation through a series of exquisite Guerlain rituals. And to round off the stay, the Alchemists craft memorable experiences for each guest to share as a couple, with family or amongst friends, such as a sailing trip, a picnic on a deserted cove or an encounter with land tortoises. Younger guests will find plenty to enjoy at the Carrousel, a place of discovery and adventure in the heart of nature. The personalised attention of the hotel’s Ambassadors creates a bespoke experience, inviting every guest to truly let go amidst a picture-postcard landscape along a fine sandy beach where the waves crash majestically.
