Four Seasons Resort Seychelles

Location

The resort consists of 67 villas of various sizes, arranged on a slope with tropical vegetation above Petite Anse beach. The villas are largely built on concrete pillars and are thus at the height of the treetops. However, the construction is only visible from close up, otherwise, it is hardly noticeable due to the vegetation.

The villas are distributed over the site in such a way that privacy is well preserved, both in terms of views from the access roads and from the neighbouring villas. Due to the location of the villas on the slope, different categories are distinguished. At the foot of the slope are the villas with a view of the garden. The elevated villas offer a view of the sea.

Due to the hillside location and the spaciousness of the complex, it is an advantage if you are reasonably good on foot. There is a golf cart service, which we often used and which worked well, but there are still a few steps here and there.

The distance to the airport is about 45 minutes by taxi and the nearest shopping is about 5 minutes drive away. The somewhat secluded location makes a car essential.

There are two restaurants, breakfast is taken in one of them and we always sat outside. The quality and quantity of the food on offer is excellent and, in our opinion, does full justice to the different nationalities that are guests here.

We made use of the excellent dream beach. Here, too, the individual attention is excellent. The deck chairs are provided with new, removable cushions for each guest.

Rooms

From our point of view, the Oceanview Villa left nothing to be desired and was equipped with everything you would expect in this hotel category. The bedroom with a seating area was very spacious. There were 2 double beds, each equipped with a mosquito net curtain that could be comfortably opened and closed on a rail.

The beds were very comfortable from our point of view (the mattresses not too hard and not too soft). We definitely slept very well in them. The bathroom was also very spacious with a separate room for bidet and toilet, two washbasins. Wardrobes and a separate small room with wardrobe and safe.

Restaurants

In the evening, there were either à-la-carte international dishes or themed buffets. e.g. an Arabic buffet or Japanese buffet. The buffets were nicely presented with a good selection of different dishes.

In the Kaneel restaurant, the emphasis was on Creole and Asian dishes. One day there was an Indian menu and another day a Creole buffet. We can recommend both restaurants. The dishes were consistent of good quality and nicely presented. There was also more than enough in terms of quantity. The ZEZ bar/lounge served sushi and sashimi in the evening.

Sports & Entertainment

There was excellent snorkelling from the beach, which we used intensively. At the south end of the bay there are rocks with a reef, where a large amount of tropical fish, but also rays and even a stone fish could be observed. We also went on a diving excursion organised by the hotel’s dive centre. In the morning, we grabbed the diving suit at the hotel’s diving centre, the rest was available on the diving boat, which picked us up on time at the beach in the morning. We had to take care of practically nothing.
