Sitting alongside an unrivalled spa resort in the Indian Ocean, Four Seasons Private Residences Seychelles offers more than just an outstanding collection of villas in the sun. Buyers of the stunning properties will acquire a truly relaxing lifestyle with their purchase, with their very own slice of spa heaven just moments from their doorstep.
The stunning Hilltop Spa at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles opened in the summer and has already earned a reputation as one of the Indian Ocean’s most beautiful spas. Situated at the Resort’s highest point, perched on a hilltop at 80 metres above sea level, guests can enjoy spectacular views across the sparkling Bay of Petite Anse from timber sun decks, surrounded by tropical vegetation including coconut, mango and cinnamon trees.
Comprising a series of seven glass-fronted pavilions, all linked by an extensive space exclusively for yoga, the Hilltop spa includes eight separate treatment rooms, private sitting areas, steam rooms, rains showers and outside relaxation tubs created along the hillside. The setting is secluded, uplifting and designed to restore the mind and spirit.
Here you will find highly qualified therapists from Bali, Maldives and Bahamas who have undertaken extensive training in specialist techniques from Sodashi – considered the purest chemical-free product range on the market- and ila, which provides a bespoke range of treatments and rituals.
As a resident, it can even be arranged for you to have spa treatments from the comfort of your own villa, for the ultimate in privacy. Many of the treatments incorporate island herbs and spices such as frangipani and lemongrass, combined in accordance with ancient recipes. Treatments include massages, body scrubs and wraps, facials, hydrotherapy baths and foot and hand treatments. One of the signature treatments is Shell Serenity – where warm heated sea shells, filled with sea minerals, dried sea kelp and algae, are pressed along the muscles to release knots and tension, increase circulation and alleviate stress.
Owners of the villas have unparalleled access to this exceptional Resort facilities, which includes two restaurants, a bar, a gym, pool and helipad, as well as the spa. The villas sit adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Seychelles which provides owners with exceptional levels of service. The 24 hour concierge team assists with spa and dinner reservations, arranges snorkeling, diving trips, sailing and deep sea fishing excursions. Private dining in the villa can also be arranged, from a large party to an intimate dinner for two, with chefs using the finest locally sourced and international ingredients.
Located on the south west side of Mahé at Petite Anse, Four Seasons Private Residences Seychelles, sits above a secluded bay, which shelters one of the finest beaches in Seychelles. Perched in this Jurassic granite landscape are 28 individually designed villas, each with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. 18 of the villas have already been sold to international buyers.
“Purchasers at Four Seasons Private Residences Seychelles will enjoy a unique lifestyle of privacy and relaxation in the heart of the Indian Ocean and the unlimited use of the Resort and spa is a huge part of that,” says Dean Foley, International Sales Manager, Hamptons International, sales agent for the project. “The Resort and villas feel like a private island; and the tranquil location of Petite Anse is one of Seychelles’ best kept secrets, offering a serene and intimate haven.”
With unrivalled privacy in large freehold plots of one to three acres, each villa blends seamlessly with lush vegetation and the natural contours of the coastline. Award-winning architect Chong Yew Kuan has created a highly individual design, by “wrapping” each residence around the rocky landscape, with a series of living spaces, over different levels. Spacious terraces overlook the ocean, providing extensive outdoor living areas and there are large verandas that open onto wide decks, framing infinity pools. These sheltered terraces appear to ‘float’ above the ocean, providing exceptional views of the tropical jungle, pristine beaches and azure waters. One home has a 50 metre long infinity pool. The bedroom suites are remote from the main living area, and from each other, for complete privacy.
The interiors, created by Hirsch Bedner Associates, reflect the understated architectural design. The styling is discreet and low-key, with hand-hewn plank flooring and walls in rugged local granite. The look captures the authentic Seychellois style and uses fine fabrics and furnishings. Bose home entertainment systems, contemporary kitchens with premium appliances, clever lighting design, sunken baths, steam showers and an outside shower in the rocks combine comfort with the latest technology. Each home has its own unique features; one has a secret garden of protected palms while another boasts a boulder in the swimming pool which has been incorporated to create a stunning, natural feature.
The remoteness of Seychelles has preserved it as one of the most unspoilt archipelagos on earth. The tropical climate is between 24C and 30C year round. The islands are a haven for flora and fauna, with six National Marine Parks; a further 40 per cent of the land is protected as National Parks. There are regular flights from the UK direct to Mahé’s international airport.
Prices start from $7 million. For more information on Four Seasons Private Residences Seychelles, please call Hamptons International +44 (0)20 7758 8447 or email seychelles@hamptons-int.com or visit www.seychellesresidences.com
