Banyan Tree Seychelles

Type of Accommodation: Hotel
Comfort Level: Luxury

overview

Banyan Tree Seychelles overlooks the boulder-strewn white sands of Intendance Bay on the island of Mahe, a beach often regarded as one of the world's most beautiful in sight. Tucked away in the palm trees and dense green vegetation surrounding the beach are luxurious, private villas with swimming pools and private outdoor Jacuzzis, with little need to leave your suite.

As you might imagine however, there are plenty of reasons to do so. Guests at Banyan Tree enjoy a wide range of activities such as mountain biking, snorkelling, diving, and cruising around the Indian Ocean on a 47-foot twin-hull catamaran. Take a walk through the tropical gardens of the resort or sit in the shade and catch up on some reading. There's also plenty of opportunity to soak up the sun at the resort's private pool overlooking the beach or dip your toes in the ocean.
