Cheval Blanc

Overview

Artful elegance by the beach

Set on the legendary sands of Anse Intendance, Cheval Blanc Seychelles is a modern-day Creole masterpiece – where sculptural villas nestle among granite boulders and lush jungle, each opening onto immaculate beach or hillside views. The property comprises 52 distinctive villas, each blending clean lines, natural materials, and private plunge pools, complemented by the Maison’s signature fragrance.

Shared spaces take relaxation further: a glamorous 25 m pool, a Guerlain spa sanctuary, padel courts, fitness and yoga pavilions, two children’s clubs, and a collection of five restaurants and three bars. Every detail – from bespoke décor to attentive Ambassadeurs – reinforces the art de recevoir for which Cheval Blanc is renowned.

Moments here are both grand and intimate: sunrise spa rituals in the jungle, Creole-style beach barbecues, Japanese izakaya evenings at Mizumi, private picnics amid granite outcrops, and marine adventures, all arranged by intuitive and attentive staff.

Travelers say

South africa honeymoon

"Thank you for the best honeymoon we could’ve imagined! We spent 5 nights on safari at luxury lodges, followed by 3 nights in Cape Town, and ended our journey on a stunning private nature reserve. Everything ran seamlessly, and the team stayed in touch with us throughout. Words can’t describe how incredible the experience was."
