The Telegraph ULTRAS 2017: Editor’s Award: Best New Hotel in the World

“The hippest kid on the Seychelles block”


Style & Character 10/10

Clever Studio RHE have nailed it with the fun but sophisticated vibe that characterises the resort, which is moulded around the island’s endemic trees, wild beaches and huge granite boulders.

The whitewashed, ocean-side hub of restaurants, bars, boutique and library feels like a small village, sitting as it does in the shade of a huge Badamier tree hung with bird’s-nest lanterns that lend the area a magical feel at night.

In the foreground, a turquoise infinity pool merges with the mesmerising colours of the sea, while bamboo hammocks, coiled bar stools, rope swing chairs and mesh cargo nets (for the ultimate over-the-water sunbathing) hold everything together in a subtle seafaring theme

“This is an outstanding intervention that actually improves the local environment. Context, surprise, ecology and aesthetics combine to create an incredible treat for all that are able to visit this wonderfully special place. A simply beautiful project that has been created with a generous heart and soul.” -Sean Clifton, Director at Jestico + Whiles.

"The remote nature of the site has engendered a considered approach to its sensitive environment in terms of the operation of the resort, and this is reflected in the architecture. Carefully-designed glimpses are set up, linking man-made elements with nature; angular, contemporary forms contrast with the rounded rockscape. This resort promises the guest interaction with nature - the promise appears to be well delivered.”
-Nicole Hammond, Associate Vice President & Operations Director at WATG
