Superyacht marina redoubt
Superyachts berth right outside, where teak decks and mountain breezes bring a maritime calm to the Mahé waterfront.
What it’s good at

Nautical woodwork, cream-toned interiors, and mountain-view balconies designed by London superyacht specialists Winch Design.

Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched along the Roche Caiman waterfront opposite Eden Island, the resort sits ten minutes from the airport beneath lush granite hills.
The rooms
Suites and plunge-pool villas pair calming cream interiors and warm timber with terraces framing the ocean or Morne Seychellois mountains.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Palm trees and sun loungers border the outdoor swimming pool, looking directly out over the superyacht marina.
The spa
Treatment rooms host restorative massages and bodywork, entered past a reception desk sculpted from natural tree roots.
Sauna and yoga studio
The light-wood sauna looks onto tropical greenery through picture windows, beside a garden-facing studio for yoga sessions.
L'Escale Restaurant & Lounge
Tables sit beneath a slatted timber pergola, serving fresh seafood and international dishes accented with Creole spices.
How it began
Taking its name from the French word for stopover, the retreat was rebuilt from the former Wharf Hotel site.
