Four Seasons Resort Seychelles occupies the picturesque Petite Anse Bay, famed as the most beautiful bay and beach on Mahé.

The island is also known for its natural beauty and unspoiled landscapes, with the government committed to preserving the island’s pristine environment.
Those seeking total relaxation and rejuvenation can venture to the resort’s hilltop spa, Le Syel Spa. Complete with 8 treatment rooms, the spa invites guests to indulge in signature treatments such as the Le Syel Signature and The Miracle of Coco De Mer, a five-step ritual featuring a body scrub, mask, body butter massage, bath overlooking the bay, and application of revitalising body lotion.

The resort recently partnered with Sanaa, a Tanzanian company that crafts handmade glasses from recycled materials, are featured in the “feet in sand” steak shack experience at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles. The resort also prioritises local biodiversity through its partnership with marine education and conservation group WiseOceans.
Furthering its efforts to support local businesses and provide the freshest ingredients to its guests, the resort sources the majority of seafood from local fishermen. This includes yellowfin tuna, wahoo, grouper, snapper, jobfish, mahi-mahi, calamari, and octopus. What’s more, following the elimination of single-use plastic water bottles across villas, suites, the gym, spa, restaurants, and bars, the stunning resort is the perfect location for modern environmentally responsible tourists.
