Overview

One of the most exclusive retreats in the Seychelles, this all-villa resort occupies a magical private island of gardens, beaches and rainforest. Imagine having the run of a 500-acre private island with the rainforest-clad mountains, untouched bays and the underwater wonderland of the National Marine Park that surrounds it.

Conveniently located just an eight minute boat ride from Mahé, the resort has three beaches and extensive grounds and is popular with families, couples and honeymooners alike.

The resort has had a major refurbishment that now includes additional pools to villas and four additional treatment rooms added to the Spa by Clarins. A third restaurant will be added overlooking the pool specialising in Italian cuisine.

Accommodation: 174 Villas

Accommodation

Add a collection of deluxe villas to this deluxe resort and you have one of the most desirable places to stay in the Seychelles.

Spacious and comfortable with a palatial bathroom and outdoor shower, the Providence Villas have a wonderful sense of intimacy, each sitting in its own garden festooned with frangipani blossom. The gardens tumble down to one of three beaches, and each has a gazebo. The creme de la creme is the Royal Villa with its infinity pool, vast terrace and panoramic views.

Restaurants & Bars

In addition to in villa dining, the resort has two restaurants, Le Mont Fleuri and L’Abondance.

Le Mont Fleuri is dramatically situated on a granite edge, perched on wooden stilts over the sand and lapping waters. It is almost as if you are eating in the trees, while overlooking the beautiful lights of Mahe.

Le Sans-Souci bar offers a terrace that leads to the pool. A small lounge and a vast open space gravitate around an elegant bar, an ideal spot for those who want to enjoy an aperitif at the end of a perfect day.

Recreation

Guests can cycle and trek around the island, snorkel and dive in its exotic fish-filled waters, and enjoy a wide range of non-motorised watersports.

For those in need of relaxation, a Clarins Spa with pool, gym, sauna, hammams and a lavish treatment menu is the perfect place to be.

The Bob Marlin Miniclub is open to all children aged between 3 and 12 years old. Children are supervised by experienced and caring hostesses who organise a number of exciting activities to offer them an unforgettable stay.

A baby-sitting service is also available at a minimum cost. A 24-hour notice is required to secure a baby-sitter.
