Cheval Blanc is set to unveil its sixth ‘maison’ along the picturesque southwestern coast of Mahé Island, Seychelles. Nestled on Anse Intendance beach, this luxurious retreat—designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy—offers a harmonious blend of Creole traditions and the island’s stunning natural beauty. The property, which will debut this winter, marks another significant milestone in Cheval Blanc's growing portfolio of luxury destinations under LVMH.
Envisioned by architect Jean-Michel Gathy, known for his work at Cheval Blanc Randheli, Cheval Blanc Seychelles epitomises the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Its architecture, inspired by the geometric lines of Creole houses, flourishes in a harmonious dialogue between grand volumes and expansive views, crafting a haven where life's rhythms resonate with the poetry of the tropics.

Dining
At Cheval Blanc Seychelles, French haute cuisine, Italian influences, and vibrant Creole flavors unite, crafting an exceptional sensory journey across the Maison’s exquisite restaurants.

The pristine white walls are adorned with Joël Andrianomearisoa’s vibrant pastels, reflecting the island’s lush surroundings - from the wild greens of the jungle to the deep blues of the ocean - creating a seamless harmony between art, nature, and cuisine.
Vivamento
Overlooking the shimmering pool, Vivamento is a vibrant celebration of Italy’s warmth and generosity. Inspired by the sun-kissed Italian Riviera, it offers a gourmand journey that embodies the spirit of the Dolce Vita.
An artistic highlight is Maximilien Pellet’s grand ceramic fresco behind the bar, a tribute to the conviviality of ancient Etruscan banquets, perfectly framing the view of the pool. Open daily from 2 pm to 10 pm, Vivamento invites guests to savor lively moments from lunch to dinner.

As the day fades, the rhythm picks up - the sky dances with fruit bats in flight, and the horizon glows with the golden hues of dusk. Open daily from 12 pm to 5 pm, with the bar serving refreshing sips from 11 am to 8 pm, Sula is the perfect escape from zenith to twilight.
Every Thursday, the spirit of the islands comes alive with a Creole evening, celebrating the rich flavours and traditions of Seychelles cuisine.

Each treatment is a sensorial journey, curated by Guerlain and tailored to your individual needs, whether you seek deep relaxation, radiant skin, or a moment of quiet renewal. The spa features six individual treatment rooms, along with two Orchidée Salons for indulgent duo rituals, a Beauty Studio, and a Spa Boutique showcasing exclusive Guerlain skincare, fragrances, and makeup collections.

Experiences
At Cheval Blanc Seychelles, every moment is an invitation to explore, unwind, and connect - with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself. Cradled between tropical jungle and the sparkling waters of Anse Intendance, the Maison offers an extraordinary palette of experiences tailored to every desire and rhythm.
Jet-skiing & Diving
Unleash your sense of adventure with two of the island’s most exhilarating experiences - jet-skiing and diving - where adrenaline meets the unmatched beauty of the Seychelles’ seascape.
Feel the thrill as you glide across turquoise waters on a jet-ski, wind rushing past as granite cliffs and lush coastline blur in motion. Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced rider, this high-speed escape offers a new perspective of Mahé’s stunning shoreline—dynamic, untamed, and unforgettable.
For those drawn to the quiet magic beneath the surface, diving opens a portal to a world of vibrant coral gardens and marine life. Swim alongside sea turtles, eagle rays, and technicolour fish in crystal-clear waters. Whether it’s your first dive or part of a deeper journey, our guided experiences ensure safety, comfort, and awe-inspiring discovery.
Both adventures begin with a short transfer to handpicked locations where the ocean reveals its wildest secrets—and where every moment is crafted for unforgettable memories.
Land Excursions
For the adventurous spirit, hiking trails unveil the island’s lush heart, from the cloud forests of Morne Blanc to the panoramic peaks of Morne Seychellois. Guests can embark on guided hikes through lush tropical forests, where the vibrant flora and endemic wildlife paint an unforgettable backdrop. The Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a highlight excursion—home to the rare coco de mer palm and an array of exotic bird species, it offers a mystical walk into nature’s untouched beauty.
Kids Activities
At Cheval Blanc Seychelles, children are not just guests—they’re adventurers, artists, pirates, and dreamers in the making. Le Carrousel, the dedicated kids’ club, opens the gates to a vibrant universe designed to spark imagination, curiosity, and joy.
Nestled among swaying palms, this magical haven welcomes young guests aged 3 to 12 with a rich programme of daily themed activities, from treasure hunts and wildlife safaris to pirate boat adventures and fairytale ateliers. Indoors, a whimsical playroom inspires creativity with arts and crafts, while outside, two splash pools, a waterpark, and a pirate ship playground promise hours of laughter and discovery.
Whether building sandcastles on the beach or enjoying tasty, healthy treats prepared by the Maison’s chefs, every day at Le Carrousel is a story waiting to unfold—guided by a team of caring Ambassadeurs who turn play into cherished memories.
