Banyan Tree Seychelles

Mahé, Seychelles, 2008 – At Banyan Tree Seychelles, you will be spellbound by an earthly rustic paradise brimming over with all the beauty and splendour that nature has to offer.

Mistaken for the original ‘Garden of Eden’ by English General Charles Gordon in 1881, the Seychelles archipelago is considered to be one of the unspoilt havens in the world. Home to two renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Vallée de Mai, a primeval rainforest where the legendary Coco-de-Mer nut is found and the Aldabra, the world’s largest raised coral atoll is situated. Seychelles is a land where century-old giant tortoises roam freely, while rare species of flora and fauna such as the distinctive Cleoptera beetle and the majestic Takamaka trees make up the unique Seychellois landscape. Mahé is the largest of the 115 Seychelles islands and is home to the international airport and Victoria, the tiny capital of the tropical isle.

Stylish Living
True to Banyan Tree’s environmental ethos, Banyan Tree Seychelles stands out as a successful fusion of modern luxury and ecological sensitivity. The resort’s 60 luxuriously appointed villas are carefully designed to blend seamlessly into the hilly terrain and lush tropical foliage. Each feature contemporary Créole architecture and indigenous artifacts to offer guests a unique sense of place. Local artists were commissioned to produce paintings for the bedrooms based on the island’s legendary Coco-de-mer nut.

The hotel has amongst its facilities a 24m-helipad, a tennis court, and a Wedding Pavilion – the latter is popular for civil marriages with unique and romantic ceremonies, and also for moonlight dinners and special functions.

Banyan Tree Spa Seychelles invites spa fans to shed the cares of the world in its eight luxurious hillside pavilions. Indulge in an exotic menu of spa treatments under the skillful hands of the Banyan Tree Spa therapist. For a totally indulgent experience, guests are treated to the Harmony Banyan – a signature 3-hour spa session performed by two therapists.

Food lovers will be spoilt for choice at each of the resort’s fine dining establishments. Banyan Tree’s signature Saffron offers gourmet modern Thai cuisine while the eclectic Au Jardin D’Épices serves up delectable international cuisine from Asia and Italy. The hotel has recently launched a new restaurant – Chez Lamar which offers traditional Creole cuisine. The restaurant is situated in the newly built Club House and overlooks the protected Wetlands area. Guests can also look forward to Creole cooking classes in the future.

Those wishing to enjoy the comforts of their villa, can enjoy an outdoor barbeque or à la carte cuisine delivered to their door.
