hen George Harrison said “"Everyone
should
have
themselves
regularly
overwhelmed by Nature" he could well
have been referring to the magical corner of the island
of Mahe in the Seychelles, his former island hideaway,
and now the site of Banyan Tree Seychelles, one of the
leading luxury resorts in the Indian Ocean.
Renowned for being romantic and exclusive, the
resort consists of a collection of Colonial style villas
that cascade down a lush and green hillside to
embrace the white sands of Intendance Bay, one of
the best beaches on the island.
There is an extraordinary variety of accommodation
available among the 60 recently-refurbished villas
ranging from those perched high on the hillside with
sweeping views to those at sea level with direct access
to the beach. Every villa is beautifully furnished in
Creole style complemented by a private pool, and for
the ultimate in luxury, exclusivity and privacy, stay in
the exquisite Presidential Villa, which occupies its very
own private cove by the water’s edge.
Food connoisseurs will be spoilt for choice at each of
the resort’s fine dining establishments. Banyan Tree’s
signature Saffron restaurant tantalizes with award-
winning Thai cuisine and Southeast Asian specialities.
Au Jardin D’Epices serves international favourites in a
casual setting overlooking the bay whilst Chez Lamar
offers an exhilarating journey of Creole cuisine filled
with an irresistible blend of spices and flavours. Most
guests never leave their villas, so a comprehensive a
la carte menu is available for in-villa dining.
Private dining experiences are perfect for
honeymooners and romantic couples – these include
dinner for two on the beach, the cliff-side or
surrounded by dense forest such as the Sea & Stars
experience in the Presidential Villa, Grill on the sand,
Moonlight Gazebo and Champagne on the Rocks.
It is only natural that with all the epicurean delights
on offer that there should also be the opportunity to
soothe the senses in a lush tropical forest setting - at
the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa Seychelles.
Perfectly located on the main island of Mahe, Banyan
Tree Seychelles is only a 30 minute transfer from the
International Airport.
