Best hotels in the Seychelles surrounded by tropical greenery: 11 beautiful resorts

Seychelles - one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the Indian Ocean. The islands are covered in tropical vegetation, and some hotels blend perfectly into the surrounding nature: villas are hidden among palms and granite rocks, paths wind through lush gardens, while jungles, marine parks or almost untouched beaches begin just beyond the grounds.

This selection features Seychelles hotels with beautiful green grounds on Mahé, Praslin and small private islands - from large beach resorts to secluded villas surrounded by the tropics.

Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa

Constance Ephelia, Mahé Island

Constance Ephelia is one of the most obvious choices if you want truly extensive green grounds. The resort covers 120 hectares between two beaches and borders Port Launay Marine National Park.

There are rooms, spacious suites and villas, including family options and villas with private pools. Gardens and mangrove areas stretch between the two parts of the resort, while one of the largest spa complexes in the Indian Ocean operates on site.

For active holidays, snorkeling, kayaking, water sports, tennis and walks around the area are available. Thanks to its huge grounds, Constance Ephelia is interesting even simply to explore on foot or by bicycle.

Le Domaine de La Reserve, Praslin Island

Le Domaine de La Reserve is truly surrounded by greenery. The hotel is located on Anse Petite Cour beach. This is a quiet bay inside the marine national park of Curieuse Island. The famous Anse Lazio beach is about 4 kilometres away.

The small resort consists of 39 rooms. The spacious grounds are surrounded by nature, while the reef-protected bay is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. There is a large swimming pool, Water Lily Spa, restaurants and bars. You can go snorkeling, kayaking, fishing or take nature walks around Praslin.

Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island

Desroches offers a completely different side of the Seychelles. There is one resort here, around 14 km of beaches, cycling paths, palms and large areas of almost untouched nature. Four Seasons is therefore worth choosing not so much for a "hotel garden" as for the opportunity to live directly on a tropical island.

Villas and residences are scattered among the greenery and along the coast; many have private pools and direct beach access. Guests have access to restaurants, a spa complex, a water sports centre and the conservation-focused Discovery Centre.

It is convenient to get around the island by bicycle, exploring remote beaches and the giant tortoise sanctuary. Diving, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking and boat trips are available.

Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa, Silhouette Island

Hilton Labriz is located on Silhouette Island, most of which remains almost untouched. Here, mountain slopes are covered with tropical forest, rocks come almost right up to the ocean, and nature trails begin beyond the resort grounds.

The resort's villas are located by the beach and among the greenery. There are restaurants, a spa, swimming pools, a kids' club and a water sports centre. Another advantage is a genuine environmental focus. An organic garden with aquaponics and hydroponics has been created here, and its produce is used in the restaurants. The hotel also organises conservation initiatives for guests. A stay can easily be complemented by walks through the tropical forest, snorkeling, kayaking, diving and excursions around Silhouette.

Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas, Mahé Island

The resort is located on the west coast of Mahé by Anse Louis beach and covers around 30 acres of green grounds. There are just 30 individual villas with private pools, located on the hillside or directly by the beach.

At Anantara Maia, there is almost no sense of typical resort development. The villas are scattered across the green slope above Anse Louis and hidden from one another by dense vegetation. Palms, tropical flowers and herbs grow between them, while some paths run along the slope overlooking the ocean. Guests have access to a spa with open-air pavilions, yoga, fitness, marine activities and island excursions.

Six Senses Zil Pasyon, Félicité Island

On Félicité, you can feel the difference between the carefully maintained hotel grounds and the island's real nature. Most of the small island remains undeveloped, so a stay here is not limited to paths between the villa, restaurant and beach. You can walk into the island's interior, look for small bays and viewpoints, or explore the coast from the water.

Six Senses Zil Pasyon consists of individual villas and residences with private pools, but most of Félicité is occupied not by hotel infrastructure but by nature itself. Here you can leave the usual resort routes behind and explore the granite coastline from the water.

Raffles Seychelles, Praslin Island

Raffles Seychelles is located on the green slopes of Praslin near Anse Lazio. The resort consists of spacious villas with private pools, spread across the hillside among tropical vegetation.

Some villas offer ocean views, while others are literally hidden in the garden. From here, it is convenient to visit not only Praslin's beaches but also the famous Vallée de Maireserve, where a unique palm forest has been preserved.

Constance Lemuria Seychelles, Praslin Island

The resort occupies a large area in the north-west of Praslin, where gardens gradually give way to natural vegetation, hills and beaches. The hotel grounds cover around 101 hectares. Another reason to choose Lemuria is Anse Georgette beach.

A road through the resort grounds leads to the coast, while the upper parts of the golf course offer a beautiful view of the bay. The 18-hole course itself is the only one in the Seychelles. At the same time, a stay does not have to revolve around golf. There is a spa, swimming pool, restaurants, tennis, snorkeling and diving.

Kempinski Seychelles Resort Baie Lazare, Mahé Island

Kempinski in Baie Lazare offers Seychelles nature that does not end at the beach. Behind the sandy coast are palms and spacious green grounds, followed by hills covered in tropical vegetation.

The rooms are set slightly further inside the grounds, so on the way to the beach or pool you walk through the garden. There is plenty of space for leisurely walks, while all the usual resort infrastructure is nearby: restaurants and bars, a spa, a large swimming pool, tennis courts, a kids' club and water activities.

Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts, Mahé Island

Mango House offers a completely different sense of nature. There is no huge park with kilometres of paths: the small resort occupies a green hillside above Anse aux Poules Bleues bay, so tropical vegetation is constantly part of the scenery - around the buildings, pools and open terraces.

Mango House has only 41 rooms and suites, so even the shared spaces do not feel like a large resort. Some categories have private small pools, while the grounds feature three shared pools, a relaxation area and five restaurants and bars.

Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa, Mahé Island

Savoy is not surrounded by wild jungle but is located on the popular Beau Vallonbeach. Nevertheless, the resort has spacious, well-kept grounds with palms, flowering shrubs and a large garden, so it is worth considering as a more affordable option among Mahé's large green hotels.

All room categories are quite spacious, and some overlook the garden or the large central swimming pool. Savoy's main advantage is the combination of green resort grounds with the infrastructure of Beau Vallon. Cafes, restaurants and water activities are available nearby.
