“Enchanting lagoons and palms surround this luxury Seychelles resort. Tropical gardens lead to private rooms, with villas nestled on the hillside or seafront. Inside, natural accents are embedded in contemporary design pieces like wicker-style lamps. Book a private dinner on the beach; a chic resort.”

Hotel review

The Seychelles has become synonymous with luxury resorts dotted along turquoise waters and stretches of white-sand beach. Constance Ephelia is the queen of the crop of these resorts; at 313 rooms it would be easy for it to become a depersonalized experience, but an innovative layout and attentive staff means that this spa village hotel is accessible and intimate. There are a wide range of accommodation options available here; unlike the most high-end of the Seychelles islands, on Mahé there are more modest rooms available which are great for honeymooners or couples looking for a special island break. The junior suites are a good example, with a bright and spacious living and sleeping area plus a furnished verandah, just steps from the beach. This hotel is family-friendly, too, with family-sized villas available that boast a private swimming pool, hot tub and sun loungers. There is an all-day Kids' Club with a varied programme of daily activities exploring the island's natural landscape and the ocean. Parents can head to the U Spa by Constance for a massage or manicure in the interim, with first-class facilities and professional service. Corossol is the resort's main buffet restaurant, serving lunch and dinner, drawing on a range of culinary influences from India to Italy. With the resort's infinite number of pools stretching out around you while you eat, it is hard not to fall into an island reverie during a stay at this resort. For active holidaymakers, there are plenty of activities on offer to get your teeth into, from diving to paddle boarding and yoga. A breezy and relaxed island escape.

Constance Ephelia

This hotel, among the largest in the Indian Ocean, allows guests to buy into 'the resort experience' as little or as much as they wish, with myriad activities on site, but also attractions outside. The two main beaches are sublime, while swimming pools are dotted between the large, airy suites and villas.
