About Four Seasons Resort Seychelles
Four Seasons Resort Seychelles sits on the hillside above Petite Anse, a sheltered bay in Baie Lazare on the southwest coast of Mahé. It has 67 villas and suites, most with their own pool and many with ocean views.
What sets it apart is the privacy of its stand-alone villas, set among the trees above one of Mahé’s best beaches. It suits honeymooners, families who want a kids club, and travelers who want a quiet, full-service resort.

Who it’s best for

- Consider another resort if: you want to be close to the airport or walk to shops and restaurants, or you need an elevator, as the resort has none and the hillside is steep.
