Best Luxury Hotels in Seychelles

Senses Zil Pasyon, located on a private island in Seychelles, is the first Six Senses venture in Africa and offers a luxurious escape with 30 stunning villas and a unique spa nestled among granite boulders by the ocean. Each villa has a dedicated Guest Experience Maker (GEM) to help plan your activities, and electric buggies transport guests around the island to various facilities, including a fitness and watersports centre, and a spa that uses biometric technology for personalized treatments. Chef Richard Lee’s culinary creations are a highlight, featuring vibrant island produce and Creole flavors at Zil Pasyon's restaurants. Ocean Kitchen offers a tempting non-meat menu with fresh salads, Green Egg-grilled lobsters, and marinated snapper. For breakfast, the inventive à la carte options include an exceptional English breakfast. The Island Café provides a familiar surf-and-turf menu, while serious gourmands can enjoy fine dining in the wine cellar or tapas in the Lakanbiz rum bar. The resort also offers a range of activities, from stand-up paddle boarding and morning yoga to movie nights over the sea and excursions to nearby islands.

Four Seasons Resort Seychelles, a five-star haven, boasts a prime location in the stunning bay of Petite Anse. With 67 private villas and 27 residences, this resort is consistently ranked among the world's top luxury hotels. Guests enjoy a beachside infinity pool, two exceptional restaurants offering Creole and international cuisine, two bars, pop-up beach barbecues, and a hilltop spa with private massage pavilions. The resort also features a yoga master, a state-of-the-art gym, a watersports centre for diving, snorkeling, sailing, and kayaking, and a concierge service for personalized island excursions. The open-air ZEZ restaurant offers a delightful breakfast buffet with breathtaking views, where you can sip guava smoothies and savor shrimp rougaille while watching vibrant Madagascar fodies. In the evening, ZEZ transforms into a fine dining venue, although some dishes like braised beef cheek with truffle ratte potatoes might feel a bit too elaborate for the island vibe. For a more casual experience, the sushi bar provides an intimate setting with expertly crafted sushi and sashimi. By the pool, Kannel serves a family-friendly menu featuring pizza, salads, and a mix of South Asian and Creole dishes, along with occasional pop-up steak shacks and barbecues under the palms.

Denis Private Island Seychelles offers an idyllic escape, letting you experience a true desert island vibe surrounded by pristine nature and the Indian Ocean. Here, time flows naturally as you explore the island barefoot, always on the lookout for passing turtles. The service is warm and personable, reflecting its family-run roots. While there's no telephone reception and Wi-Fi is limited to public areas, the Sens spa offers in-villa treatments with locally made coconut oil-based lotions. Activities include scuba diving, paddleboarding, kayaking, and catch-and-release deep-sea fishing. The island doesn't have a swimming pool, so you enjoy sea bathing, particularly in the shallow lagoon at Belle Etoile, where turtle sightings are frequent. Year-round, guests can spot turtles with greens nesting from May to September and hawksbill from October to February. Unique to Denis, the island's small organic farm supplies poultry, pork, and vegetables, while fish is freshly caught offshore. The island even produces its own cheese, contributing to what many consider the tastiest food in Seychelles.
