Leisure facilities include an exclusive stretch of private beach, a beautifully landscaped swimming pool, and complimentary use of snorkelling equipment and kayaks. Guests will also be able to enjoy an exotic menu of treatments and therapies at the resort’s Serena Spa. In addition to wellness experiences, the spa offers yoga sessions on request, a gym, and a number of holistic therapies.
The boutique-style resort features a total of eight one-bedroom Private Pool Villas and two Enchanted Signature two-bedroom villas, which have been designed to reflect the island’s traditional Creole-Seychellois architecture. This makes it perfect for a romantic and secluded getaway.
Each villa has its own private infinity pool, direct walkway to the beach, outdoor deck and rain shower, French bathtub, king-size bed, LED television with satellite channels, DVD player, iPod docking station, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Sustainability

The resort has been created around the original environment of the island, making each villa merge and flow with the natural landscape. Even the teak villas are designed in a neutral palette to blend in.
The family designing the exclusive getaway has ensured no coral was harmed during construction. They brought in materials on a barge that floated safely above the reef; no tree was uprooted; and not even a boulder was rolled from its natural resting place.
Vegetables and herbs are home-grown in the hotel’s own greenhouse. Activities on offer are limited to low-impact water sports, such as snorkelling and kayaking, which do not disturb the natural environment.
