Anse Royale
Perched on a hillside above Petite Anse, the Four Seasons Seychelles is the archipelago's benchmark of understated luxury — 67 villas in the jungle, a private beach accessible only to guests, and a spa built around the natural granite of the hillside.

Praslin
86 villas on Praslin's eastern coast with private pools and direct access to Anse Takamaka — Raffles Seychelles combines the brand's colonial elegance with an extraordinary natural setting, its spa among the finest in the archipelago.
An ultra-exclusive adults-only resort of 30 granite-framed villas on Anse Louis on Mahé's west coast, MAIA operates on a unique 'no choice' philosophy — your personal butler takes care of everything, so you need make no decisions.
Spread across a 100-acre peninsula in Port Launay National Marine Park, Constance Ephelia is one of the Indian Ocean's largest resort properties — two beaches, five pools, six restaurants, and a spa across two zones for adults and families.

The finest resort on La Digue occupies a hillside orange grove above the beach — 52 Creole-style chalets and villas in lush tropical gardens, a gentle 10-minute bicycle ride from Anse Source d'Argent.

On Mahé's north-west coast in Baie Lazare, the Kempinski delivers European luxury standards with 148 villas and suites on a private bay — an ideal base for exploring Mahé while maintaining access to the outer islands.
