If
you’ve ever wondered what the Garden of Eden would look like, think
Seychelles. With its powder-white sands, turquoise waters and colorful
Creole culture, it’s easy to fall under the spell of the Seychelles
islands – all 115 of them.
The 60-villa Banyan Tree Seychelles resort is located on Mahé,
one of the liveliest islands with water sports galore. Pick from water
skiing, windsurfing, parasailing, snorkeling, or some of the best sailing
around. Or let yourself be swayed by the charm of the Seychellois people,
who’re noted for their warm hospitality, tantalizing coconut curries
and ethnic art. A good time to experience Creole gaiety is during the
annual Creole festival in October, when Victoria – the Seychelles
capital – comes alive with music, dancing and dramatic productions.
But if you’re looking for tranquility, you never have to leave
the resort, which offers the ultimate in exclusivity. Its architecture
is a quaint combination of contemporary, colonial and “plantation”
décor, and leads one into a bygone era. Get in touch with Mother
Nature in a Hill Villa that offers captivating coastline views, the
peaceful green hues of lush vegetation and a completely private pool.
Or get lost in your own little paradise in a Presidential Villa nestled
in a private cove by the water’s edge... The Seychelles islands’
reputation as the “Eden of the Indian Ocean” is well deserved
indeed.
