Set on the beautiful beach of Anse Kerlan, Constance Lemuria is an idyllic hideaway, lined by white sand beaches and fringed by forest. Equipped with suites and villas, scattered across tropical gardens, guests enjoy an al fresco dining area, private pool and the option of a private chef or barbecue. There’s also plenty of dining options with the hotel’s four restaurants and five bars.

The tranquil spa offers a range of treatments, a wet area and a fitness centre, and for those seeking a more active getaway, the resort also features diving and snorkelling, water-sports including windsurfing and sailing, tennis courts and mountain bike hire. It also has a championship golf course!

In the local language, Creole, Zil Pasyon means 'island of passion, and there's no doubt Six Senses Hotels has put every last drop of their passion for luxury and hospitality into this brand-new resort. 

The 30 pool villas here are sleek and stylish - some of the leading spaces in modern luxury hotels. Tap into your spiritual side with some daily yoga, or get creative at a cooking course with local ingredients. 

Water-sports enthusiasts will have full access to all diving, fishing, and kayaking equipment. Also, you can tune out at the Six Senses Spa or enjoy a film at the outdoor cinema.

A sliver of paradise in the Seychelles, Desroches Island is an exclusive coral idyll surrounded by the blue waters of the Indian Ocean. This far-flung tropical hideaway has beautifully designed accommodation, from bungalow rooms to villas, all within a few paces of a pristine beach.

Villas have an open-plan bedroom and lounge, and the residences have a fully equipped kitchen, elegant dining room, and even a private butler. They also have stunning indoor and outdoor bathroom, a private patio and plunge pool, and discreet modern luxuries which complement the earthy décor perfectly.

For a boutique resort, there's remarkable diversity in the accommodation offering at Mango House across its 41 rooms. They all embody that beach house low-key feel and are imaginatively sprinkled throughout the tropical gardens.

With three pools, sprawling lush gardens and an intimate curving beach, there's plenty of space at Mango House to find your own corner to relax in. A wide array of water sports operate from nearby the main pool, so you could find yourself kayaking, snorkelling, fishing, banana boating or wakeboarding on any given day.

Impressive for a boutique getaway, there are still three excellent restaurants and two stylish bars to choose from.

On the northeastern coast of Mahé, Carana Beach, a new breed of a modern boutique hotel, offers reasonable luxury in 40 chic chalets with views of a lovely sandy beach bordered by granite rocks.

The 28 Ocean View Chalets and 12 Ocean View Pool Chalets at Carana Beach may offer fantastic value for money, especially the larger suites with their own infinity pools.

Known for its fantastic breakfast, this hotel also has a wonderful concierge team who will book you onto any activity you can think of. They will even organise car hire for you if you want to self-drive the island.
