Indulge in unparalleled luxury at Africa’s most luxurious resort, with customized pampering in surroundings of stunning beauty.
In luxury travel, Africa has long been a continent that has married nature and luxury experiences with ease. Starting off the year 2025, those seeking the ultimate pampering experience need to look no further than the recently opened Cheval Blanc Seychelles. The resort is an exemplar of unabashed luxury and offers an experience that redefines the term luxury.
Cheval Blanc Seychelles: The Refuge of Refined Luxury
Positioned flawlessly on the unspoiled beach of Anse Intendance beach stands Cheval Blanc Seychelles, the first appearance of the ultra-high-end brand on the continent. Set to open in late 2024, the ‘Maison’ is a work of art in hospitality, blending the architectural brilliance with that of nature’s beauty on the island. The resort’s sumptuous villas, created by renowned designer Jean-Michel Gathy, boast breath-taking views, each meticulously placed so as to be in perfect balance with its environment. The décor within is refined, featuring handmade furnishings and specially chosen art pieces drawing inspiration from the Seychelles’ rich history.
Culinary Journeys and Bespoke Experiences
Gastronomy at Cheval Blanc Seychelles is, in one word, excellent. Five restaurants, among them the Japanese-inspired Mizumi, invite guests to a symphony of flavours crafted by gastronomic artists from across the globe. For more than taste, the resort presents the whole universe of bespoke experiences. From private sailing cruises that unveil the archipelago’s best-kept secrets to resurrecting traditions in the state-of-the-art spa, every experience has been crafted to pamper the best of tastes.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Even during an era where luxury needs to be sustainable, Cheval Blanc Seychelles is ahead of the game. The resort itself is designed based on the landscape of the island, with as little effect on the surroundings as possible. Programs like coral reef revival and community engagement only help to highlight its commitment to saving the paradise it is located in.
Elevating African Luxury to New Heights
The opening of Cheval Blanc Seychelles in 2025 heralded a new era of luxury travel in Africa. The resort is not a place to the discerning traveller but an invitation to get lost in a world where luxury and reality meet. When the sun sets over the Indian Ocean and sets Anse Intendance ablaze with burnished golden hues, one cannot help but feel that this is not someplace—it is the very acme of luxury.
