Nestled along stunning Intendance Bay on the southwestern coast of Mahé, Banyan Tree Seychelles stands on a piece of land acquired by the late George Harrison and Peter Sellers. From the white beaches below to the granite boulder-spotted hillside, the resort tucks its spacious villas within the lush vegetation to allow guests a personal experience with paradise.

Each white, Victorian-style villa showcases the island’s colonial history with tasteful contemporary décor and fine touches of Creole furnishings. The villas also each have their own private pools.

The award winning Banyan Tree Spa, set against the majestic granite mountains, offers guests a hillside reprieve where glass-walled treatment rooms invite Indian Ocean views to help melt the stress away. Or, if they prefer, guests can indulge in calming treatments like the signature Harmony Banyan and Royal Banyan carried out within their villas.

To satisfy an epicurean craving, a Beach BBQ is a special event. Enjoy the sunset and a glass of champagne while a waiter and chef prepare a gourmet multi-course dinner on a secluded section of beach, utilizing the freshest local ingredients.
