Some of our favourite resorts in THE SEYCHELLES
CONSTANCE LEMURIA
This resort promises a luxurious escape, delivering an exquisite level of service, a gorgeous, natural beach and a world class 18-hole golf course. Constance Lemuria is the ultimate place to unwind and indulge in 5-star accommodation, restaurants, amenities & beautiful surroundings. Even the Junior Suites here are only 15m from the shores of the Indian Ocean.

With 3 glistening swimming pools, 4 fine-dining restaurants – including fresh Creole-style seafood – and spacious, elegant rooms, guests will enjoy their holiday from the moment their toes touch the golden sands, slipping into a tranquil state of mind for their visit to this island paradise. Our favourite part of this resort – and most special of all – the beach is popular for turtles to pop up & lay their eggs.
Six Senses Zil Pasyon
Occupying a third of the lesser-known island of Felicite – slightly north of Mahe – the Six Senses Zil Pasyon can only be accessed via speedboat or helicopter, starting your holiday in true James Bond fashion. Panoramic & Hideaway Pool Villas and Family Residences (with up to four bedrooms) makes this unbeatable resort suitable for couples as well as the whole family.
Coral-scattered beaches & dramatic rock backdrops sit nicely with the well-being focus & intimacy of this resort. Protecting and preserving endangered wildlife & plants is an important factor – an island totally unspoilt – it’s breathtakingly beautiful at every turn, remaining as a TRAVLUX firm favourite for a long while to come. With another key focus being sustainability, the resort has been growing their own food for years, with elements on Seychellois cuisine. Be sure to visit the Wine Vault, too.
