You know the feeling?On Mahé’s south coast, a path discreetly leads away from the main road into lush jungle. A few bends later, the ocean reveals itself, a deep blue, almost unreal. It’s here, atAnse Intendance, that Cheval Blanc Seychelles reveals its vision of hospitality! An ode to nature, to subtle luxury, to the raw beauty of the Seychelles. A place designed to reconnect you to yourself, to the elements, to the rhythm of life.
A refuge between nature and the horizon
Surrounded by tropical forest, the Maison literally blends into the landscape. Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, its architecture pays homage to Creole traditions, while celebrating the elegant minimalism of natural materials: raw woods, woven fibers, sandy tones and volcanic stones create a hushed setting where the eye can rest.
Accessible in 30 minutes from the airport, the estate stretches along a virtually deserted ribbon of beach, away from tourist areas. A haven of unspoilt nature, ideal for contemplation and relaxation.
Villas designed like homes
The 52 villas at Cheval Blanc Seychelles don’t look like hotel rooms. They are complete, intimate, spacious living spaces, designed to fully inhabit nature. All feature private pools, large terraces, spacious dressing rooms, semi-open bathrooms and breathtaking views of the jungle or ocean.
Guests can choose between perched villas (Jungle Hill, Ocean Hill, Panorama Hill) and beachfront villas, including the sumptuous Beach Retreat and Villa Horizon, a 700 m² residence suspended between sea and sky.
Wellness in majesty: the Spa by Guerlain experience
A spa in the heart of nature
At Cheval Blanc Seychelles, the spa isn’t a fringe space: it’s the beating heart of the experience. Hidden in the jungle, open to the sounds of life, Cheval Blanc Spa by Guerlain is a total immersion in organic, multi-sensory well-being, deeply rooted in place.
Right from the entrance, an exclusive fragrance, ” Jungle Chic “, envelops the senses. Designed by Guerlain perfumer Thierry Wasser, it blends woody warmth, tropical notes and subtle iodine accents. A signature fragrance that accompanies every treatment, every gesture.
The spa offers six individual cabins and two Orchidée duo suites, as well as a Beauty Studio, a yoga area and several rest areas opening onto the jungle. Each treatment begins with a personalized diagnosis, to create a made-to-measure ritual tailored to the needs of the moment.
Guerlain signature treatments: a symphony of the elements
In partnership with Guerlain, Cheval Blanc Seychelles has developed a unique collection of rituals inspired by Seychelles nature. These exceptional treatments don’t just relax: they tell a story about the elements, the island and the moment.
- Wonders of Earth (120 min)
This deep-tissue treatment begins with breath-work, followed by enveloping gestures all over the body, including the face and scalp. The massage is performed on a warm quartz sand table, for an experience that is both grounding and cocooning. A true energetic re-alignment. - Wonders of Aqua (120 min)
A multi-sensorial treatment inspired by water in all its forms. Steam, ice and waves purify, moisturize and revitalize the skin. Transitions in temperature and texture immerse the body in a kind of aquatic meditation. - Wonders of Dream (120 min)
An invitation to let go. Carried along by the sounds of a sound bath, this ritual alternates gentle drainage, scalp massage and subtle effleurage. The mind lets go, the body floats. Ideal at the beginning or end of a stay, to anchor or lighten up. - Wonders of Shells (90 min)
Performed with warm shells, this massage prepares the skin for the sun, or regenerates it after a day on the beach. It stimulates, smoothes and nourishes. A sensorial, soothing treatment at the crossroads of pleasure and repair.
Facial rituals and exceptional treatments
The spa’s Guerlain menu also includes a range of high-performance facial treatments:
- Ultimate Black Orchid (90 or 120 min): a rare, luxurious, ultra-regenerating youth treatment.
- Aura Nobile (90 or 120 min): with golden orchid and gua sha for an immediate lifting effect.
- Imperial Longevity, Facial Sculpt, LED therapy, Micro Peel… so many approaches to meet targeted objectives (firmness, radiance, regeneration, skin texture).
Each treatment combines the expert touch of the facialist, innovative protocols and the sensoriality of Guerlain textures. In addition, multi-day cures deliver long-lasting, visible results.
Holistic well-being: body, motherhood, emotions
At Cheval Blanc Seychelles, well-being is approached holistically, sensitively and progressively. Far from being limited to treatment rituals, the experience extends to listening to the body in all its muscular, energetic and emotional dimensions. What’s more, for expectant and new mothers, specific programs such as Blissful Mum or Mother’s Pampering offer a cocoon of gentleness and regeneration, tailored to the needs of each stage.
Then, yoga, meditation or breathing workshops, guided by attentive practitioners, are offered in individual or small group sessions. The aim? Find an inner anchor, balance the breath and refocus emotions.
The hotel also cultivates the art of shared pampering. Whether as a couple, with friends or with a child, certain rituals are designed to create a bond through relaxation, and live together in a moment of suspension.
Finally, the Hair Spa by Leonor Greyl completes this approach to well-being with a rare capillary dimension. Personalized diagnostics, scalp massages, repairing treatments with natural active ingredients, post-long-haul flight protocols: every hair is treated with the same attention to detail and elegance as the rest of the body.
Inspired travel cuisine
At Cheval Blanc Seychelles, gastronomy is experienced as a sensory voyage, where each table explores a different facet of taste without ever compromising on high standards.
The French gastronomic restaurant, confidential and hushed, plays a delicate score every evening, driven by the precision of the gesture and the accuracy of the pairings. The cosmopolitan table, open to the bay, celebrates generous, sunny world cuisine, served at any time of day.
In the evening, the Japanese restaurant comes to life in a Creole house, the setting for a cuisine d’auteur where umami is boldly expressed. Further on, Vivamento pays homage to Italy at its most joyful: colorful plates, bold flavors and an effervescent atmosphere. Finally, on the sand, the Sula beach club invites you to relax over Mediterranean bites with a Creole twist, to be shared under the golden light of the tropics.
Each address has its own identity, but all tell a story: that of a place, a product, a suspended moment.
The Cheval Blanc art of living: beauty, playfulness and contemplation
In addition to treatments and flavors, La Maison offers a complete art of living: Le Carrousel (a poetic kids’ club), a fitness area, a surf simulator, tennis courts, contemporary works of art, custom-designed nature experiences…
Nothing is left to chance, but nothing is imposed. Far from staid luxury, Cheval Blanc Seychelles cultivates a living, intuitive luxury, focused on the right sensation.
