Ultra-luxury holidays in Seychelles

There’s an endless variety of R&R options at Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa. All types of visitors are catered for here, so just let the concierge desk know what you want to do and they’ll get you booked in for a whole bunch of activities. 

With the resort situated in a marine national park, water babies can head down to the shores for a spot of snorkelling around the vibrant coral reefs. Or for something even more extraordinary, you can book a diving experience at the Eco Center. The seas around Seychelles’ island are full of aquatic wonders waiting to be seen. 

You can get wet at the spa too, just perhaps not as wild. Instead, you can take a calming dip in the whirlpool or plunge pool, and then head into the steam room to sweat out the toxins of last night’s mojitos. 

There are just 10 villas at JA Enchanted Island Resort, so every guest here is treated like a VIP. The resort’s staff exceed all expectations when it comes to hospitality – you’ll even have a dedicated Villa Host who brings you whatever you want or need around the clock.  

Inside the villa, you’ll lap up the luxury of modern amenities and be charmed by the French Colonial antiques. During the day you can take a morning dip in your private pool or take a stroll down to the beach for a swim in the ocean. At night, you’ll sleep on a plush king-sized bed and wake up the next morning to spectacular views peeking through the shutters.  

When it’s time to journey outside the villa, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy and entertained.

If you’re a gym bunny who wants to work out, head to the fitness centre to lift some weights or practise yoga. Or if you’re feeling adventurous, grab a paddle board and sail the calm waters over to Moyenne island where you’ll spot tortoises and rare birds.  

The Constance brand is known for its laid-back kid-friendly vibes, making Constance Lémuria Resort one of the best luxury hotels in Seychelles for families. The whole family will have the time of their lives here, both individually and as a family unit. 

Golf-lovers can play a full 18 at the Championship golf course, which is free to all resort guests. Chilled-out souls can recline and relax at the award-winning spa, indulging in one of many well-being treatments.

Kids are also kept busy at the on-site kids’ club. They’ll play computer games or enjoy some arts and crafts. And when it’s time to spend quality time together, simply hanging out in your villa residence works a treat – especially when you have your own private pool to play in. 

Together you can stay in one of the best luxury suites in Seychelles, the Presidential Villa. You’ll have plenty of space for up to nine guests, making it perfect for big family holidays celebrating a special occasion.  

Listen up, foodies. At Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas, you’ll benefit from the resort’s ‘Beyond All Inclusive’ package which allows you to eat and drink whatever and whenever you like. You’ll also have the opportunity to personalise the food on offer, meaning chefs will tailor the dishes to your tastes, preferences, and any dietary requirements you may have. 

Even picky eaters will find something they love here. On the menu, you have an array of international cuisine including Indian, Japanese, and Mediterranean.

Head to the Sunset Pool Bar for lunch, a casual poolside eatery serving small bites and summer drinks. Then for dinner, grab a table at Tec-Tec for a fusion-style dinner meshing Mediterranean flavours with Asian and Creole influences.  

Vino drinkers must visit The Wine Boutique for an unforgettable wine-tasting experience. Expert chefs take you on a journey through the palette of carefully selected wine pairing courses. You’ll sip on the smooth, rich finish of Merlot and the tropical aromas of Sauvignon Blanc. It's one of our favourite luxury experiences in Seychelles. 

One of the best luxury suites in Seychelles comes in the form of a beachfront cottage at Denis Private Island. This is a resort that encourages you to leave behind the troubles and woes of life back home, and staying in one of these charming residences will do the job nicely. 

Each cottage is designed to evoke tranquility and bring you closer to the natural beauty of the island’s surroundings. The walls are painted whites and creams, and the sea-facing veranda sits within your own private garden cornered by lush tropical vegetation.

There’s no WiFi or phone reception. For some, the inability to call, text, or scroll sounds far away from a luxury experience, but we promise the disconnection from normal life is absolute bliss.  

For an even more wholesome experience at Denis Private Island, dedicate a day or two to trekking around the island’s nature trails. There are so many picturesque spots to check out. Or if hiking’s not your thing, the resort has bicycles you can hire. 

Last on our list of luxury hotels in Seychelles is arguably the grandest and most elegant of all: Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island. Everything here screams five-star, from the delightful restaurants you’ll dine at to the stunning pool villa you’ll stay in. 

We think the best value-for-money villa is the Desroches Two-Bedroom Suite. Here you’ll have direct access to Sunset Beach and the resort facilities and restaurants are just a short walk away too.

By day you can lounge on the beach soaking up the sun’s rays and listening to the waves calmly lapping up on the shore. And by night, you can head to one of two delightful restaurants for a night of themed cuisine. Don’t miss out on Thursday's evening of hearty Italian fare – so lots of homemade pizzas and pastas. 

Surfers will love it here too. Pro instructors can coach you up and get you confidently riding the waves at the various bays locate around Desroches Island.
