A Paradise of vibrant colours greets you at Raffles Seychelles with a topaz blue ocean bordered by soft alabaster sand and emerald vegetation. Consisting of 86 villas, each with a private plunge pool and balcony offering breath-taking views towards the tropical horizon, the resort will be the only place you want to be in the Seychelles.

Featuring some of the largest villas in the archipelago it's no wonder why Raffles is renowned for its quality of accommodation and luxury getaways. Each villa is set upon the hillside, with amazing views of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding gardens, and furnished to the highest standards the resort has to offer including, a large sheltered pavilion furnished with a comfortable day bed and dining table, a double walk-in closet and refrigerated private bar.

Whether guests want to dine under the stars, enjoy a cocktail on the rooftop or lounge by the pool with a drink, the 7 restaurants and bars offer a wide range of culinary experiences for guests to indulge in their every gastronomical need. Dine at the Curieuse Restaurant and experience a taste of Asia in the Indian Ocean with a range of Indian, Chinese and South East Asian Dishes or relax in the Danzil Lounge with one of many fine wines, rums and cocktails as you lose yourself to the live bands and dancers offering a taste of Seychellois tradition.

The Raffles Spa bases its philosophy on the pearl which is abundant in the surrounding waters. The spa has 12 treatment pavilions each making the most of the spectacular views across the turquoise water and the tropical emerald gardens. A range of treatments are available to suit all your needs such as Experience Showers which use a variety of different water sequences to sooth and relax the body, Yoga sessions to increase wellbeing and breathing techniques, and a sauna and steam room to increase circulation, alleviate congestion and warms the muscles, soothing arthritis, migraines and headaches.

Cloudy most of the time with the odd rain shower, the sun was a rare sight and when it did show it wasn't for very long ... the sea was rough and unapproachable.
