This winter, luxury hospitality brand Cheval Blanc will unveil Cheval Blanc Seychelles off the coast of Africa.
Nestled along Mahé island’s Anse Intendance beach, the forthcoming location, designed by architect Jean-Michel Gathy of Malaysia-based Denniston, will mark the company’s sixth Cheval Blanc Maison.
Cheval Blanc Seychelles, which is owned by LVMH, will be designed as an homage to creole traditions as well as its natural surroundings. The property will feature 52 villas, each with a private swimming pool and sweeping views of the beachfront, hillside, or tropical jungle.
Artistry will be celebrated across the property, with custom-made pieces showcased throughout. At arrival, Centauresse, a sculpture by French artist Prune Nourry, rises from a pond amidst banyan trees, while the walls of each villa are marked by artwork by Malagasy artist Joël Andrianomearisoa. In one of the hotel’s restaurants, a glazed ceramic fresco by ceramist Maximilien Pellet recalls a convivial Etruscan banquet.
The culinary experience at Cheval Blanc Seychelles will include Mizumi, a lakeside Asian restaurant; Vivamento, a vibrant pool-facing Italian eatery; and Sula, a Mediterranean beach club; as well as signature concepts include French restaurant Le 1947 and Le White.
The forthcoming Seychelles Maison will also offers a collection of Guerlain wellbeing rituals at the Spa Cheval Blanc, along with a pool, fitness room, surf simulator, tennis courts, and padel courts.
The 72-key Cheval Blanc Paris, designed by New York architect Peter Marino, debuted in September 2021.
