Constance Lemuria, Seychelles

Located on the idyllic northwest coast of Praslin Island, the resort faces three blond-white beaches where turtles still lay their eggs in complete tranquillity. The Constance Lemuria resembles a lost paradise of lush vegetation and sweeping sandy bays, untouched for centuries.

A member of the prestigious Leading Hotels of the World group, the Constance features an 18-hole championship golf course – the only one in the Seychelles – and the highest standards of luxury and comfort, all blended harmoniously with the preserved natural beauty. There is as sense of calm simplicity projected through the striking use of natural wood and stone materials, emphasised by light and water in every direction. Them there's the U Spa for some ultimate beachside indulgence.

All of the resort’s suites and villas here are orientated toward the Indian Ocean, with an emphasis on privacy, intimacy and harmony with the natural surroundings. The Presidential Villa, perched on the granite tip of Anse Kerlan, is akin to a private hotel within the main resort, offering an absolutely exclusive experience.
