A rriving in the southern part of Mahé, Seychelles, feels like stepping into a place where time has gently paused. From the island’s small international airport, a 40-minute journey winds through colorful shops, wooden houses, and roadside fruit stalls, before passing the village of Quatre Bornes. The final stretch along Intendance Road leads to Cheval Blanc Seychelles, the newest address by LVMH, and to the renowned Anse Intendance beach. The Seychelles, a tiny archipelago of granite and coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, have increasingly become a favored destination for ultra-luxury hospitality. It is here, amid one of the island’s most authentic areas, that LVMH has chosen to open a new Maison, offering travelers a blend of seclusion, pristine nature, and exceptional service. Designed by architect Jean-Michel Gathy, the resort unfolds among lush forests, crystal lagoons, and protected mangrove ecosystems. Nearby lies Anse Intendance, one of Mahé’s most iconic beaches—a one-kilometer stretch of soft white sand and clear turquoise waters, where sea turtles still come to nest under strict conservation measures.
