The Escape | One For Families: Four Seasons Resort Seychelles
A stay here somehow feels like home, albeit heightened by elegance at every turn
Those with an enduring obsession with lush tropical landscapes and salty ocean breezes will undeniably find themselves in heaven in the Seychelles. It’s easy to see why the destination is a hit with honeymooners, but the archipelago nation boasts more than its renowned reputation for romance, and Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is a dream of perfection.
A lush, foliage-cloaked cliff provides a breathtaking backdrop
While at first glance it may appear the resort is an adult-only sanctuary with its peaceful setting, impeccable service and private hill-top villas, that’s not to say the little ones are overlooked. Far from it. The resort’s complementary Kids For All Seasons program is expertly curated to craft memorable and educational experiences in a casual, yet uber-luxe environment. From marine conservation experiences and stand-up paddleboard lessons to a pamper session from the junior spa menu – the children are never going to want to leave. Who can blame them?
The resort provides lots of activities to keep the children busy
Lunch can mean only one thing: take your taste buds on a culinary flight at Kannel, the resort’s poolside restaurant where delectable treasures from the ocean can be selected from the Petite Anse Fish Counter, preferably followed by an afternoon snooze either on the velvet-soft white sandy beach, or back at home base.
There are five delectable on-site dining options
Nestled into a foliage-cloaked, horseshoe-shaped cliff encircling Petite Anse Bay, all guest rooms are standalone villas featuring magnificent private swimming pools. One-to-seven bedroom offerings provide the perfect lodgings for families and groups, elegantly decked out in earthy tones punctuated by pops of colour, seamlessly marrying indoors and out.

It’s hard to imagine just how magical the views are, until you flop onto an Egyptian cotton-laden king-size, and soak up the postcard-perfect view from the floor-to-ceiling glass. When even the staff tell you they can’t imagine leaving, you know it’s a very special place.
