Mango House Seychelles
Even the word Seychelles—pronounced almost like “seashells”—conjures an island nirvana. And we’d argue that this archipelago of islands off the coast of Africa are among the most romantic destinations on the continent. That’s certainly true of Mango House, where guest rooms are a Vacationland version of Meryl Streep and Robert Redford’s “Out of Africa,” thanks to canopied beds swathed in fairytale mosquito netting and balconies ideal for sipping a cuppa while overlooking the turquoise water below. Guest rooms begin at a generous 484 square feet; we love the One Bedroom Suite with Ocean View for its separate living space, terrace, and spacious 969 square foot floor plan. The Ocean Houses are exquisite, especially with their private plunge pools overlooking the surf. Oh, and did we mention that every single room option here has a panorama over the waters of Anse Aux Poules Bleues? You can’t go wrong.
A 41 villa and suite escape on the water with five unforgettable restaurants (including an Italian brasserie), three pools (one of them infinity,) and a Creole-inspired spa.
Boring. Guest experience options here are practically infinite, and include glass-bottomed boat rides, helicopter tours, hiking verdant beachfront rainforests and more.
The resort has a flotilla of watersports options at-the-ready, including snorkel gear, kayaks, wakeboards and even banana boats. You can even work on your scuba certification here.
It’s twilight in Kokoye, the hotel’s cocktail bar, and you feel like dancing. Was it the day on the sand that has you kicking up your heels? Or this addictive gin tea martini? Time will tell.
