Curving around a pristine, amphitheatre-shaped bay on the gorgeous island of Mahé, the award-winning Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is the perfect palm-fringed luxury escape.

Gorgeous treetop villas peek above the steep jungle-covered hillside, each offering breathtaking views of the idyllic Petite Anse beach and bay. The island’s striking granite rock formations, luscious tropical foliage and unforgettable views are blended thoughtfully into the secluded dwellings. Expect infinity-edged pools; airy, natural interiors; signature Four Seasons glass-walled bathrooms and expansive outdoor living areas. Villas range from one to six bedrooms and five sensational suites are also available. Parents need not worry; pool-barriers and safety features are readily available for younger guests.

A short buggy through the fragrant tangle of coconut, mango, jackfruit and frangipani trees, will take you to the resort’s gorgeous restaurants and bars. Sample the delectable blend of flavours which make up Creole cuisine, a culinary homage to the Seychelles vibrant history. Head to Kannel for catch-of-the-day Mediterranean-style favourites and relaxed all-day dining, or Koi for exquisite Japanese sushi and sashimi. Perched high on the hillside lies ZEZ, home to creative, contemporary Pan-Asian cuisine by day, and star-lit cocktails by night.

The fabulous Le Syel Spa offers stunning ocean-view treatment rooms and a sumptuous sundeck: the perfect spot to spend a dream-like sunset evening. Treatments incorporate the bountiful natural surroundings and Four Seasons spa expertise. The ‘Miracle of Coco De Mer’ treatment draws from the rich natural properties of the rare native palm tree, and local Seychellois cinnamon, lemongrass and coconut also feature frequently.

Descend down the winding jungle paths to the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon, where turtle spotting, snorkelling and diving await. Petite Anse is blessed with excellent surf, while the sheltered bay creates gentle waves for beginners. If you can bear to leave the tropical paradise, venture out for an intoxicating dose of Seychellois culture. Tour the gorgeous galleries of the south Mahé island, or venture to the vibrant Victoria Market for an multi-sensory island immersion

Families are well catered to, with a fantastic children’s centre, delightful teen spa and Coral Cabana marine education centre to satisfy curious minds. Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is also an irresistible destination for a romantic couples holiday or honeymoon.
