Set against the pristine backdrop of the Indian Ocean, the sixth Maison Cheval Blanc, Cheval Blanc Seychelles, is poised to make its grand debut on December 1st, 2024, affording an unrivaled intermingling of luxury, seclusion, and natural beauty. This new addition to the prestigious Cheval Blanc portfolio promises to elevate the concept of island retreats and will be curled around the Anse Intendance beach on Mahé Island in the Seychelles.
Embodying the refined French art de vivre in one of the world’s most beautiful destinations, the resort invites guests to experience an oasis of impeccable sophistication, tailored service, and timeless elegance amidst untouched nature. Cheval Blanc Seychelles is designed by Jean-Michel Gathy who has also been responsible for the Cheval Blanc Randheli in the Maldives, and the contemporary architecture of this new Maison melds spacious volumes with local inspiration, where interior and exterior are in complete harmony.
In regards to accommodation, Cheval Blanc Seychelles houses 52 villas offering stunning, uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. 24 villas border the white sand beach and the other 28 are hidden in the green hills, integrating into the Seychellois nature. Every villa, which range in size from 220 square metres to 620 square metres, has its own 12,5-metre swimming pool, making it an ideal destination to holiday as a couple, a family, or with friends.
The Maison, which will be adorned with intricate works by artists like Joël Andrianomearisoa and Prune Nourry, features five distinct restaurant concepts. Le White will showcase cosmopolitan food fused with Seychellois Creole flavours, whereas Vivamento beside the main swimming pool welcomes the sun-drenched tastes of Italy. The beach club, Sula, entices guests with its Mediterranean spirit, while Mizumi is devoted to contemporary Japanese food. Finally, Le 1947 celebrates the essence of classic French gastronomy.
A haven of peace, the Spa Cheval Blanc, has been created to measure by renowned French perfume, cosmetics and skincare brand Guerlain. Eight treatment rooms have been thoughtfully appointed, extending specially developed treatments that are inspired by the island’s natural wonders, encompassing expertise and well-being. Another highlight is Le Carrousel, an expansive 1,500 square meter play space for children, families and younger guests to discover the flora and fauna of the Seychelles with outdoor activities, a water park, and interactive installations.
Cheval Blanc is fortifying its expertise in a new destination, remaining committed to its quest for excellence and its deep connection to local identity. Subsequent to the Maldives, Saint-Barthélemy, and Saint-Tropez, the Seychelles completes the iconic brand’s seaside jewels, promising future guests with wonderful memories they will last a lifetime.
Cheval Blanc Seychelles opens 1st December 2024, with reservations opening on 15th October 2024. Visit Cheval Blanc Seychelles’ official website to find out more about the ultra-luxe resort, or follow the resort on Instagram for more updates.
