Cheval Blanc Seychelles: A New Icon of Ultra-Luxury Hospitality

ree

Nestled on the unspoiled coastline of Mahé, the largest island in the Seychelles archipelago, Cheval Blanc Seychelles is not just a new hotel — it’s a rare reimagining of paradise itself.


Owned by the prestigious LVMH Group, Cheval Blanc brings its distinctive spirit of “Art de Recevoir” to the Indian Ocean for the very first time. Every corner of the property, from the shimmering turquoise waters that kiss its shores to the architectural artistry of its villas, has been designed to immerse guests into a world where natural beauty and human creativity blend seamlessly.



The Setting: Where Untouched Nature Meets Modern Design

Cheval Blanc Seychelles stretches across a series of powdery white-sand beaches framed by dramatic granite boulders and lush tropical jungle. The Maison (as Cheval Blanc properties are lovingly called) embraces its surroundings with a low-impact, contemporary design that highlights — rather than competes with — the stunning environment.


Villas are discreetly positioned for maximum privacy, many with direct beach access, infinity pools, outdoor rain showers, and sweeping views of the ocean or verdant gardens. The aesthetic is unmistakably modern yet warm — open, fluid spaces that breathe with the rhythms of nature.



The Villas: A Private World of Elegance

Each villa at Cheval Blanc Seychelles is a sanctuary, combining contemporary architecture with timeless Creole charm. Interiors feature natural materials like wood, stone, and woven textures, while expansive floor-to-ceiling windows erase the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.


Options range from intimate one-bedroom villas ideal for romantic escapes, to sprawling multi-bedroom beachfront residences perfect for families or groups seeking ultimate seclusion. Every detail — from the curated art pieces to the custom-made furniture — speaks to the Maison’s commitment to understated elegance and unparalleled craftsmanship.



Gastronomy: A Journey of Flavors

Food is more than a meal at Cheval Blanc Seychelles — it’s a sensory journey.

The resort offers a collection of restaurants and bars, each telling a different culinary story:


  • Le 1947: The flagship fine-dining experience, where French haute cuisine meets local inspiration under the guidance of world-class chefs.

  • La Case: Fresh seafood and Creole classics reimagined with a modern twist, served in a casual yet refined beachfront setting.

  • Le White Bar: An elegant but relaxed space for daytime refreshments, sunset cocktails, or a leisurely lunch by the pool.

  • The White Restaurant: All-day dining with international favorites, crafted with seasonal ingredients and creative flair.



Private dining experiences — from sandbank picnics to candlelit beach dinners — are also part of the Maison’s bespoke offerings.



Wellness & Experiences: Beyond Relaxation

The Cheval Blanc Spa, in partnership with Guerlain, invites guests into a world of deep well-being. Treatments blend traditional techniques with innovative skincare to restore body and mind. The spa’s overwater pavilions and natural soundscape create an atmosphere of complete immersion and calm.


Beyond the spa, the Maison offers curated experiences for every type of traveler:

Snorkeling vibrant coral reefs, exploring hidden coves by kayak, hiking ancient island trails, or embarking on deep-sea fishing adventures. For younger guests, the Le Carrousel kids’ club and Paddock teens’ club offer memorable activities in a safe, creative environment.


Exclusive collaborations with local artists, chefs, and storytellers ensure that every stay feels uniquely tied to the spirit of Seychelles.



The Cheval Blanc Signature: Intuitive, Invisible, Perfect

What makes Cheval Blanc truly extraordinary is its approach to service. It’s never forced, never formal — it’s intuitive, personal, and designed around each guest’s desires, often before they are even spoken.


Every villa is assigned a dedicated Majordome (butler), ensuring that personalized experiences — from pillow menus to surprise celebrations — unfold naturally, with an effortless grace that defines the Cheval Blanc way.





In a Few Words



Cheval Blanc Seychelles is not simply a place to stay — it is a place to feel, to dream, and to be transformed.

It captures the very essence of modern luxury: immersive, intimate, and inspired by nature’s purest beauty.


If paradise had a signature, it would be signed Cheval Blanc.
