Four Seasons Resort, Seychelles

Location

The treehouse villas of the Four Seasons Resort Seychelles perch on a jungled hillside overlooking the sparkling green coastline of Petit Anse on the island of Mahé. The resort's powder-sand beach is considered one of the best on the island and you could easily spend your days revelling in barefoot ease or lounging by the pool, while being serenaded by the sounds of nature and scents of cinnamon and frangipani.

Accommodation

The expansive living areas of the 67 luxurious resort villas - including five suites - are designed around the outdoors in traditional Creole style with natural timber and brick. Perched on stilts on the jungle-covered hillside or amid the verdant greenery close to the beach, all villas enjoy unparalleled privacy, stunning views of the tropical forest, manicured gardens or the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and the added luxury of their own private plunge pools. The extremely spacious suites boast expansive pool decks and the option of a private butler on request.

Dining

The resort's two restaurants – ZEZ and Kennel – offer mouthwatering menus of Creole specialities and international dishes that make the most of the island's produce, with a particular emphasis on fresh fish and seafood. Kennel enjoys a stunning beachside setting with open-air dining and beautiful views of the water. ZEZ sits high on the hillside above the bay with magnificent vistas of the Indian Ocean and the jungle and beach below.
