The Seychelles is to play host to another five-star wellness facility following the introduction of the Savoy Resort and Spa located on Beau Vallon Beach, the longest stretch of sand on the island of Mahe.

Located on a white-sand beach, the site has 163 double rooms, including 18 junior and nine regular suites, as well as a luxury penthouse.

The Savoy also offers the use of a spa, led by a group of trained wellness experts, with a range of classic and ayurvedic massages being offered in combination with traditional Asian massages.

The spa features six individual suites, as well as three double suites for couples wanted to be treated together, while the facility also boasts the largest swimming pool in the Seychelles, measuring in at 700sq m (7,534 sq ft).

Other offerings come in the form of two Thai/Shiatsu rooms and a Russian steam sauna.

As well as two restaurants, the Savoy includes conference and meeting space and is set within a region renowned for its watersport offerings, with the local stretch of sea devoid of dangerous currents and sharp corals making it safe for visitors and sports enthusiasts.

During the resort’s pre-sale period, guests can stay in a double room at a reduced rate, while those looking to stay after the grand opening in the summer, prices are expected to exceed £400 ($651, €482) per night.
