Postcard from a
Private Island
Nestled into the peninsula of a private island,
Beachcomber’s Sainte Anne Resort & Spa blends
effortlessly with its surrounding natural beauty.
With all the finesse of a 5 star Mauritian cousin, this hotel offers an
excellent level of service, superb accommodation options and top
class cuisine.
Paradise location
Strung like a string of pearls, the 115 islands that make up the
Seychelles, experience a year round warm climate, crystal clear
waters and some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world.
Sainte Anne is an island gem framed by two beaches, situated in a
National Marine Park and located a convenient 10 minute boat ride
from Mahé. It is also the exclusive home to Beachcomber’s Sainte
Anne Resort & Spa. This romantic retreat is the only hotel on the
island and offers guests the perfect luxury hideaway.
The Finer Points
Villa accommodation is open plan with private, hedged garden and a
52
staff entrance from the rear path to ensure absolute privacy at all
times of the day. There are five types of villa. The Beau Sejour is set
within beautiful tropical gardens and the Villa Providence has an
extensive living area with views across the gardens towards the
beach. For larger parties, the Villa Bel Air is double the size of the
providence and closer to the beach.
Spa Therapy
What better therapy than a day at the Clarins Spa? Set in a peaceful
location, the spa is a true sanctuary for the senses with a full range
of treatments available. Sample a luxurious massage with
aromatherapy oils, as well as a full range of beauty treatments such
as facial, manicure and pedicure – the perfect way to start off your
holiday.
Special Occasions
The Sainte Anne Resort & Spa is ideal for couples celebrating a
special occasion. During the day, relax on the beach or, on market
days, take a boat trip to Mahé and visit the capital, Victoria. Every
restaurant is ‘a la carte’ so you’ll always have a variety of dishes to
choose from wherever you dine. Honeymooners are treated to fruit
and flowers in the room on arrival and a small gift from the
