A new chapter in luxury hospitality is set to begin as Cheval Blanc Seychelles, the sixth Maison from LVMH, is about to open on December 1, 2024. Located along the pristine Anse Intendance beach on Mahé Island, the resort promises an elevated blend of natural beauty and refined design.
The property will feature 52 expansive villas, each offering breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. Spread across the white sand beach and the verdant hills of Mahé, the villas range in size from 220m² to 620m², each boasting a private 12.5-meter swimming pool. Designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy, the villas incorporate contemporary elegance and artistic touches, with works by Joël Andrianomearisoa and Prune Nourry enhancing the ambience.
Culinary experiences are central to Cheval Blanc Seychelles, with five distinct dining venues. Guests can savour cosmopolitan fare infused with Seychellois Creole flavours at Le White, indulge in sun-soaked Italian dishes at Vivamento by the pool, and enjoy Mediterranean-inspired dining at the beach club Sula. Mizumi offers contemporary Japanese cuisine for those seeking international flavours, while Le 1947 elevates the experience with French gastronomy.
