“This hotel sits shaded by native Takamaka trees in Mahé's Intendance Bay. Idyllic guest villas offer a bird's eye view of the ocean from the rainforest canopy, opening onto a terrace with an intimate pool. Down on the beach the Rum Shack offers island ambiance with signature cocktails; a plush stay.”

Banyan Tree Seychelles

A plantation-style spa resort set in 286 acres of thick tropical forest on gorgeous, glittering Anse Intendence beach. Once the exclusive hideaway of Pink Panther star Peter Sellers, this is one of the most private and picturesque spots on the main island, Mahé.
