Reborn in 2018 under the Four Seasons name, this completely overhauled five-star 71-room resort resides at the western end of the island. The airy bungalows, villas and oversized suites all feature private pools, and the contemporary interiors – lined with warm woods, cream linens and elegant furnishings from far and wide – are a lesson in restrained opulence.
The dining options are first class, with the Claudine restaurant serving fresh seafood, salads, pizza and more, and the Lighthouse eatery featuring everything from sushi and Alaskan king crab to dry-aged French steaks. There's also a deli for midday cravings or picnics.
Blue Safari Seychelles has a base here and offers diving, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. There is also a Discovery Centre that showcases the flora and fauna found onshore and off, with a marine educator on hand who gives lectures.
