Constance Ephelia, Seychelles

Nestled between land and marine national parks, on Mahe’s north-west coast, Constance Ephelia is a five-star beachfront resort with a reputation for serving as a natural haven of bliss.

Set amid acres of tropical flora, with unspoilt silky shorelines on its doorstep, this resort is home to over 350 rooms, suites and villas characterised by chic wood-clad interiors and earthy-toned décor. Every room features Apple Mac Mini Entertainment Systems with over 300 films for your amusement, whilst some boast lavish touches like private pools and even a personal gym.

Rich gastronomic experiences await; tuck into Moroccan fare at the beachfront Helios, enjoy dishes combining French culinary genius with Asian flavours at haute cuisine establishment Cyann, try refreshing vegetable juices at Adam & Eve or sip aged rums, saké wines and rare spirits at Cyann Bar.

Guests big and small are welcome; the kids club has playhouses, tool workshops and ice cream making, and youngsters can also enjoy snacks and fun games like giant chess at Kabana. Adults can unwind in the soothing thermal pool at U Spa, the Indian Ocean’s largest wellness facility and the hotel hosts unique amenities such as zip lining, a rock climbing wall, a giant tortoise enclosure and PADI-certified diving in the marine life-rich waters of Port Launay Marine National Park.

So, who is it suitable for? I would say families, groups, couples, honeymooners and wellness enthusiasts.
