Set on a private island situated in the middle of the Sainte Anne Marine Park – a natural preserve that has one of the largest areas of “sea grass meadows” in the Seychelles – Sainte Anne Resort is a tropical respite with delicious food and amazing snorkeling.
Its spacious sea-facing villas feature air conditioning throughout, with outdoor showers and open terraces or gazebos. The three pristine beaches are just steps away from the villa doors, and the main pool area is also a prime place to lounge. Sainte Anne Resort’s child-friendly atmosphere and first-class spa by Clarins also make this an excellent holiday getaway. Just a 10-minute boat ride from Mahé, Sainte Anne is an ideal visit if you’re island hopping or a wonderful climax if it’s the final destination.
If you’re in the mood for a gastronomical feast, be sure to make reservations at the Le Mont Fleuri restaurant, said to be some of the finest cuisine in the Seychelles.
Since motorized sports are not allowed in the sanctuary of the Marine Park, Sainte Anne Resort offers sailing, kayaks and glass bottom boats among the activities, not to mention the terrific diving and snorkeling excursions.
