Feel at home in the former residence of an Italian photographer, which has been transformed into an artful boutique resort with Creole island chic. Private balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of the idyllic bay in the Indian Ocean, which you can explore to your heart's content while snorkeling, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding. The restaurants and bars guarantee culinary variety and authentic experiences of regional cuisine. A small beach promenade puts Seychelles barefoot luxury at your feet.
For wellness with local flair, visit the small but pretty Spa Anpe, which means "in peace" in Creole. With a relaxing view of the ocean, you can enjoy the Lavi Anpe, a banana oil massage with heated granite stones. The resort's charming beach promenade invites you to sunbathe, while the water sports center offers numerous activities on the sea: glide over the crystal-clear water in a glass-bottom kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard, or look for colorful fish while snorkeling.
Choose from a wide variety of configurations to suit your dream vacation. All 41 rooms, suites, and villas feature dreamy four-poster beds and offer sunny balconies and, in some cases, private swimming pools. The bright interior design of each room embodies modern luxury with a maritime touch, combined with local art. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the palm-fringed bay and the deep blue sea. Particularly spectacular is the Panorama Suite in the Cliff House, which sits majestically on granite cliffs and offers a unique panoramic view of the lush natural surroundings.
Chef Olivier Barré guarantees the excellence of the culinary offerings. The selection is diverse: light dishes such as poke bowls are available at Soley, delicious Wagyu beef at the Japanese-inspired Azido, and authentic Seychelles Creole specialties at Moutya. A highlight is the Kokoye Lounge, which is located at the best vantage point for watching the sunset. This hotspot combines the island spirit with the art of Japanese cuisine and offers signature cocktails, rare rums, and vibrant rhythms. The menu features creative sushi, sashimi, and exquisite Japanese wines. Complementing this, the Indian-Seychelles cocktail bar Kokoye boasts the largest gin collection in the Seychelles, exquisite drinks with sea views, and cocktail courses.
The Mango House in the Seychelles is the former family home of Milanese fashion photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri, who found inspiration in the tropical surroundings of the Seychelles and Creole culture in the 1970s. The luxury hotel owes its name to the original nickname Barbieri once gave it. Today, this dreamlike boutique resort offers 41 tranquil accommodations, ranging from rooms to spacious suites to elegant villas. Its unique location on the idyllic bay of Anse aux Poules Bleues offers peace and seclusion, a small strip of sandy beach, and sweeping views of the rolling green hills of Mahé. Families, couples, and newlyweds can enjoy a relaxing yet luxurious dream vacation here, as the small number of rooms ensures an unobtrusive atmosphere.
