Cheval Blanc, an iconic brand in the world of luxury hospitality, has just opened its newest property in the paradise-like Seychelles Islands

Located in one of the most stunning settings of the Indian Ocean, on Mahé Island – the largest and most vibrant of the archipelago – Cheval Blanc Seychelles is the brand’s sixth crown jewel, joining properties in equally exclusive destinations such as Paris, St. Tropez, St. Barth, Courchevel, and Randheli in the Maldives. Owned by the prestigious French luxury conglomerate LVMH, this new venture further elevates the standards of international hospitality.

Surrounded by the tranquility of Anse Intendance beach, a paradise of white sand and crystal-clear waters, Cheval Blanc Seychelles has been carefully designed to offer a unique experience. The resort features 52 private villas, designed to respect and integrate with the local ecosystem. Of these, 24 villas are located by the sea, providing direct beach access and unparalleled ocean views, while the remaining 28 villas are scattered across the surrounding hills, nestled among lush vegetation that enhances the sense of privacy and connection with nature.

Accommodations range from 220 m² to an impressive 620 m², each equipped with a private pool of over 12 meters, spacious decks, and outdoor areas thoughtfully decorated to enjoy the sun and ocean breeze. Additionally, the villas feature luxurious furnishings and finishes, designed to blend modern comfort with tropical serenity.

The design of Cheval Blanc Seychelles is the work of Jean-Michel Gathy, a renowned architect known for creating iconic experiences in luxury hotels around the world, such as Cheval Blanc Randheli in the Maldives and Four Seasons Bangkok. Gathy combined an architectural approach he describes as “tropical naturalism” with elements of modernist precision, creating spaces that organically flow between the interior and exterior.

The interiors are adorned with carefully selected artworks created by contemporary artists, each capturing the essence of the island. The highlight is the work of Joël Andrianomearisoa, an artist from Madagascar, who developed exclusive pieces for each of the villas and unique paintings for the main restaurant. French artist Prune Norry created an installation at the resort’s entrance that blends with the surrounding trees, while the Italian restaurant is decorated with a vibrant fresco by Parisian artist Maximilien Pellet.

The culinary experience at Cheval Blanc Seychelles is a spectacle in itself, with five restaurants exploring different culinary traditions in environments thoughtfully designed to enhance each meal.

  • Le White: The resort’s main restaurant offers a menu that combines cosmopolitan flavors with fresh ingredients and inspirations from the local cuisine of the Seychelles.
  • Vivamento: Situated by the pool, this restaurant celebrates Italian cuisine, with dishes ranging from fresh pasta to seafood, prepared with a contemporary touch.
  • Mizumi: Offering authentic contemporary Japanese cuisine, Mizumi invites guests to explore refined flavors and traditional techniques.
  • Le 1947: This restaurant is dedicated to haute French gastronomy, serving exquisite dishes that blend tradition and innovation.
  • Sula Beach Club: With a relaxed beachfront atmosphere, Sula presents a Mediterranean-inspired menu, perfect for casual dining or enjoying a cocktail while watching the sunset.

Wellness is a central part of the experience at Cheval Blanc Seychelles, with a world-class spa designed by Guerlain, the renowned French beauty brand. The spa features eight treatment rooms where guests can enjoy therapies inspired by the island’s natural resources. From relaxing massages to rejuvenating rituals, each treatment is designed to promote balance and tranquility.

Cheval Blanc Seychelles offers a wide range of activities to enrich guests’ stays. For adventure lovers, there are options like scenic helicopter flights, private boat tours to explore nearby beaches and islets, as well as diving and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean.

For more intimate moments, the resort organizes private beachfront dinners, with tables set directly on the sand, creating a romantic and unforgettable atmosphere.

Families are equally welcome, with a dedicated 1,500 m² space for children, including outdoor activities, a water playground, and interactive facilities designed to stimulate creativity and fun for the little ones.
With the opening of Cheval Blanc Seychelles, the brand reaffirms its position as a leader in the ultra-luxury hotel segment. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to provide a unique and memorable experience, in harmony with the natural environment of the Seychelles.

This new property is not just a hotel but a destination in itself, where the beauty of nature meets sophisticated design, contemporary art, and world-class gastronomy. With a legacy that already includes iconic destinations around the world, Cheval Blanc Seychelles sets a new standard for those seeking the best in hospitality in the tropical paradise of the Seychelles.

The opening of Cheval Blanc Seychelles not only represents the expansion of one of the most prestigious luxury hospitality brands but also the materialization of a concept that combines sophistication, exclusivity, and respect for nature. In one of the most paradisiacal settings on the planet, the hotel raises the bar for hospitality by merging visionary architecture, unforgettable culinary experiences, world-class wellness, and activities that explore the unique beauty of the Seychelles Islands.
