Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa

Silhouette

White sand beaches, eternal sunshine and a warm sea all year round are a few of the main qualities of the islands that make up the Seychelles archipelago. However, there are many others including the friendliness and the warmth with which the smiling local inhabitants welcome visitors. Then, there’s the delicious and exotic gastronomy inspired by French, African, Creole and Indian cuisine, and the numerous activities on land and sea that are available here. In short, everything one needs for a varied, relaxed and unforgettable vacation.

Thirty kilometers from the archipelago’s main island, Mahé, tourists can discover Silhouette, the Seychelles’ third largest island, with lush vegetation and emerald mountains where immense palm trees coexist with superb granite rocks. It’s a neighbor of North Island and visible from the famous Beau Vallon Bay.

Considered a nature reserve in its own right and protected by the Seychelles Nature Protection Trust, it’s a joy for nature lovers and hikers, who can discover during their cool and pleasant strolls, certain rare species of trees and plants.

An island that’s still wild and preserved for a luxurious vacation

Silhouette Island is home to the very luxurious Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa. This five star hotel receives its guests in spacious villas nestled in the heart of nature, a few meters from a magnificent white sand beach.

Each villa has luxurious furnishings assuring guests of total comfort. In a refined and design setting, we discover the rooms with large beds, wood furniture and a big terrace equipped with deck chairs for enjoying the view of the Indian Ocean and its limpid waters.

The bathrooms are large enough for two showers and a bathtub. There is an exterior shower as well. The most luxurious villas also have a swimming pool and a belvedere. The Presidential Villa is a legend in the archipelago with its 1.90 square meters of splendor including two immense bedrooms each with its own bathroom, a terrace, a living room, direct access to the beach and the largest private swimming pool in the Seychelles!

On the beach, a multitude of activities are offered to guests of the hotel including diving and sailing. There’s a fitness room, a tennis court and jogging trails enabling guests to keep in shape, whereas the spa is more concerned with gentle, soothing and relaxing massages.

The swimming pool, which is lit up every evening, offers guests a lovely terrace during the day for sunbathing. There are no less than seven restaurants and bars where guests can discover a multitude of different dishes. Pizza, Italian gastronomy, Japanese and Creole specialties accompanied by vintagewines will satisfy the most demanding gourmet. Special mention should be made of the Grann Kaz, which is located in the home of a former planter, providing a very pleasant atmosphere.

The complex is located on Silhouette Island, a nature reserve and the Seychelles’ third largest island. In one hour by boat or fifteen minutes by helicopter…it’s up to you how you want to get there. Just remember however, that you may never want to leave. There is also a turtle sanctuary on the island some of whose residents are 120 years old. – Condé Nast Traveller.com
