Aerial view of Cheval Blanc Seychelles' hillside villas above the jungle and coastline, Mahé
BEACHFRONT & HILLSIDE · FIVE STARS

Cheval Blanc Seychelles

A granite-boulder cove on Mahé's south coast, with 52 pool villas set between beach and jungle, and Cheval Blanc's first address in Africa.

A hidden cove between jungle and granite

Cheval Blanc Seychelles sits on Anse Intendance, a cove on the south-west coast of Mahé closed in by granite boulders and dense jungle. Architect Jean-Michel Gathy set 52 villas between the sand and the hillside behind it, each with its own pool and no direct sightline to another.

The Maison opened in December 2024 as Cheval Blanc's first address in Africa and its sixth worldwide. Five restaurants, a spa built to measure by Guerlain, and a resident art collection fill the space between beach and jungle.
