At a glance
Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is a five-star resort of hillside villas above Petite Anse bay, on the south coast of Mahé.
The resort climbs a forested hillside above Petite Anse, a sunset-facing horseshoe bay on the south coast of Mahé, often called one of the most beautiful in the Seychelles. Its 67 villas and suites are built up the slope on raised platforms, treehouse-style, each with a private infinity pool, a deck, and ocean or garden views.
Accommodation runs from one-bedroom villas to large multi-bedroom Residences, working for couples and families alike. There are three restaurants and two bars, led by the hilltop Zez, with Creole, Asian, and Mediterranean cooking, and Le Syel spa crowns the top of the hill.
A watersports pavilion, beach yoga, and an Aldabra tortoise sanctuary fill the days, with a marine biologist running reef trips off the bay. It suits couples, gay or straight, on a honeymoon as much as families. The airport is about 40 minutes away.

Further information
Dining
There are three restaurants and two bars across the resort. Zez is the hilltop signature, with pan-Asian cooking and a long view down over the bay, while the beachfront restaurant turns to Creole and Mediterranean food, including barbecues on the sand at sunset. Breakfast can be a floating tray in your own pool, and in-villa dining is available throughout. It is varied enough to keep guests on-site for a week.
Wellness
Le Syel Spa is at the very top of the hillside, an award-winning space with treatment rooms and decks that look out over Petite Anse and the ocean. The menu runs through massages, body wraps, scrubs, and facials, with couples’ treatments and yoga, including sunset sessions on the mountain. Every villa also has its own infinity pool, and the bay below is calm enough for swimming and snorkeling straight off the beach.
Activities
The watersports pavilion down on Petite Anse covers scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and fishing, with a resident marine biologist running reef and conservation trips. On land, there are nature walks, sunrise jogs, and an Aldabra giant tortoise sanctuary on-site. The resort also arranges helicopter flights to La Digue and its famous granite beaches, deep-sea fishing, and cultural excursions, and offers a complimentary night at its sister resort on Desroches Island for longer stays.

Our Experts
La Digue is the Seychelles' most visually recognizable island, complete with huge granite boulders and acres of lush jungle. The beauty of La Digue is not only its beauty but also its proximity to the equally awe-inspiring Praslin.
The Seychelles has a sheer wealth of luxury resorts and hotel properties scattered across its luscious terrain, and it's unique in the fact that homosexuality is not criminalized.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
