Infinity pool hotels in the Seychelles

Opened in 2011, this all-villa infinity pool hotel in the Seychelles sits on Anse Takamaka, on the north shore of Praslin. Its double infinity pool is shared by all guests and sits by the beach, with the Pool Restaurant & Bar beside it for relaxed lunches and cocktails. In 2026 visitors can also book a Pool and Beach Day Pass, which gives access to the pool and beach from morning until early evening; its full value can be spent as credit on food, drinks and spa treatments.

The resort's 87 pool villas spread down a green hillside, from garden villas screened by tropical plants to the Panoramic Pool Villas at the top of the resort, which look over the ocean toward Curieuse Island. Every villa has its own private plunge pool, and the Two Bedroom Beachfront Pool Villa sits right by the sand. A private butler is included in the two-bedroom villas and the Four Bedroom Pool Residence.

Away from the pool, the spa has a yoga pavilion facing the ocean, and the fitness center is open around the clock. Dining runs from Losean, for breakfast and dinner with ocean views, to Asian dishes at Curieuse Restaurant and Japanese sushi at The Sushi Room. A group of rescued giant Aldabra tortoises lives in the grounds, and guests can meet and feed them. The complimentary Sugar Palm Kids Club runs daytime programs for toddlers, children and teenagers.

Best for: couples who want a hillside villa with its own pool, and families who will use the kids' club.

Granite boulders and a jungle-covered hillside frame Anse Intendance, the sandy bay on the southwest coast of Mahé where Cheval Blanc Seychelles spreads from the beach up the slope. Of its shared pools, the infinity pool near Vivamento, the Italian restaurant, faces the open sea with sunset views. Just below it, a rock-edged pool sits at the shoreline, where waves break on the rocks. Guests also share a 25 meter (82 foot) pool facing the gym, suited to laps, and a pool at Sula, the beach club.

Cheval Blanc belongs to the LVMH luxury group, and the 52 villas here were designed by architect Jean-Michel Gathy. Every villa has a private pool. Beach Villas open onto gardens a few steps from the sand, while Hill Villas look over the ocean, the bay or the jungle from a terrace with a pool and an outdoor dining pavilion. Villa Horizon, a two-bedroom villa above the granite boulders, has a long pool facing the ocean. The Jungle, Ocean and Panorama Hill Villas and Villa Horizon welcome guests aged 12 and over only. Families can book the beach villas with a second bedroom or the five-bedroom Villa Anse Intendance.

Restaurants include Mizumi, which serves Japanese cuisine by a candlelit lake, and Le 1947, a quiet evening restaurant facing a sculpture by Prune Nourry that rises from a pond. The Cheval Blanc Spa by Guerlain sits in the jungle. Le Carrousel, the kids' club for ages 3 to 12, has two outdoor pools with slides. Best for: couples who want a hillside villa with a private pool and sea views, and families who want a beach villa and a large kids' club.

Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is built into a granite hillside above Petite Anse, a sheltered, horseshoe-shaped bay on the southwest coast of Mahé. Its 67 villas and residences are perched on the slope like tree houses, surrounded by jungle, and each one has its own private infinity pool, so at this infinity pool hotel in Seychelles every room category comes with one. For a longer swim, a 28 meter (90 foot) main pool with loungers is shared by all guests.

The villas have a large sunken bathtub and an outdoor rain shower; some look over the bay from high on the hillside, others sit among tropical gardens or close to the beach. The suites and the 10 Residence Villas, with three to eight bedrooms, have large decks with private pools and a dedicated Residence Host, and the residences add a kitchen. The design mixes Creole style with French colonial and European influences.

Petite Anse has powdery sand and coral reefs just offshore for snorkeling, and the resort offers kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and surf lessons. The open-air spa stands on the hilltop, with treatment suites spread over five pavilions that face the bay, and yoga classes are held in an outdoor pavilion in the forest canopy. Children have a complimentary Kids For All Seasons program. The pools are reserved for resort guests; in 2026 the official site offers visitors a day pass, booked by email, that includes the main pool, sunbeds and showers.

Best for: couples who want a villa with its own infinity pool above the beach, and groups of friends sharing a Residence Villa.

Six Senses Zil Pasyon sits on Félicité, a private island of granite boulders and tropical forest among the small islands around La Digue. The resort covers less than a third of the island, and Six Senses describes it as the sole resort hotel there. At this infinity pool hotel in the Seychelles, the infinity pools are private: each of the 30 villas has its own, with a deck facing the ocean or the garden. All guests share the central swimming pool, where ocean waves break over a stone retaining edge, and three white sand beaches.

The villas have one or two bedrooms and differ mainly by position. Hideaway villas look onto the garden, Oceanfront villas sit closer to the water, and Panorama and Pasyon villas stand high up, facing the ocean. Signature villas face the sunset. Each villa has a large deck with sunbeds and a dining table and its own wine cellar, and every guest has a GEM (Guest Experience Maker) as a personal host. Larger groups can book the three- and four-bedroom Residences, which come with a dedicated chef and service team.

Six food and drink venues and in-villa dining cover the meals, with herbs and vegetables from the resort's organic garden. The Six Senses Spa has five spa villas. The resort is restoring the island's ecology by removing invasive species and planting endemic plants, and hawksbill turtles come ashore on Félicité to lay their eggs in daylight. Families have a kids' villa and babysitting on request.

Best for: couples looking for a secluded private-island stay, and nature lovers drawn to turtles and island wildlife.

The shared infinity pool at Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa is built into a cliffside on the northwest coast of Mahé and faces the open Indian Ocean. It is open to all guests, with sun loungers and parasols on a pool deck set over three levels. Select villas add a private plunge pool on the deck, among them the Grand Ocean View Villa with Infinity Pool and the Signature Grand Ocean Pool Villa.

This infinity pool hotel in the Seychelles stands at Glacis, on a forested granite slope above Beau Vallon Bay, with a short white sand beach split between two small coves. Its villas follow Seychellois architecture, with high ceilings, dark wood and balconies that face the ocean. Room categories range from ocean-view villas with a whirlpool bath to a single two-bedroom oceanfront villa with its own pool.

The site has a literary history. Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond novels, stayed at the original Northolme Hotel in 1958, and his short story "The Hildebrand Rarity" is set in the Seychelles. Today the Ocean View Bar looks over the same coastline, while the Mahé restaurant serves Creole dishes and Wave offers open-air dinners.

The spa sits at the water's edge, and guests can take kayaks and snorkeling equipment out to explore the coves. Best for: couples who want a quiet villa stay by the sea, and snorkelers who like to swim straight from the resort's two small coves.

Mango House stands on the rocky shore of Anse Aux Poules Bleues, a bay in Baie Lazare on the southwest coast of Mahé. This infinity pool hotel in the Seychelles has three communal pools open to all guests. The infinity pool sits outside the lobby of the Main House, its open edge facing the bay, the granite boulders along the shore and the green hills beyond. Another pool lies near the beach, next to the Soley pool bar, and a third is set in a wooden deck. Children are welcome.

The hotel began as the home of Italian fashion photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri, and its artistic decor still pays tribute to him. The 41 rooms, suites and villas each have a balcony or terrace looking over the bay or the tropical gardens, with four-poster beds dressed in linen. Private plunge pools come with the oceanfront Bay House categories, from a one-bedroom pool suite to a three-bedroom house, and the One Bedroom Ocean House also has a pool.

Five restaurants and bars share the grounds. Moutya serves Creole grills on a deck above the waves, Azido offers sushi by the beach, Muse turns from breakfast room to Italian dining in the evening, and Kokoye pours local rum. Anpe, the spa, takes its name from the Creole for 'at peace' and has treatment rooms with ocean views. The beach itself is small, and the bay is used for kayaking and snorkeling.

Best for: couples and design-minded travelers who prefer a small hotel to a large resort.

This infinity pool hotel in the Seychelles takes its name from the rare Coco de Mer palm. It faces the bay of Anse Bois de Rose on the southwest coast of Praslin, with tropical forest on the hills behind. Its infinity pool, shared by all hotel guests, sits at a pool pavilion built on stilts above the sea, and the hotel suggests it as the place to watch the sunset. A second pool, shaped like a Coco de Mer nut, also overlooks the Indian Ocean, and young children have a paddling pool.

The Black Parrot Suites form a separate adults-only wing on a rocky outcrop high above the ocean, closed to children under 14. Its 12 Junior Suites have a king-size bed, a sitting area and a balcony with sea views. Their guests have their own pool on a granite outcrop with a 270-degree view of the ocean, plus a private bar, lounge and terrace. The Waterfront Spa, with three treatment rooms, sits below this pool terrace and looks out to sea.

In the main hotel, the Superior rooms are oceanfront, with a terrace facing the sea, while the Standard rooms sit higher up in the garden with partial ocean or garden views. The grounds cover more than 80 hectares (about 200 acres), with several small beaches along the bay; seaweed can build up on them at times between May and October. Free guided walks through the forest show the Coco de Mer palm, cinnamon and vanilla plants and, with luck, the rare black parrot. Couples can also book a private dinner in a gazebo overlooking the beach. Best for: couples who want a quiet sea-view stay, and nature lovers who enjoy forest walks.

Every villa at Enchanted Island Resort has its own private infinity pool, set on a deck that faces the sea. The infinity pools come with the villa categories, from the Pool Villa to the two-bedroom Signature and Enchanted Pool Villas. The Hilltop Rooms and Suites, higher up in the island's tree canopy, have balconies with partial ocean views. The official site also lists a main pool with an infinity edge, open to all guests.

This small infinity pool hotel in the Seychelles sits on Round Island, a private island off Mahé inside Sainte Anne Marine National Park. The protected waters around it have coral reefs and seagrass beds, good for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking, and snorkeling is complimentary for guests. From the villas, guests step straight onto the beach or into the sea.

The resort has only 13 rooms and villas in all, built in a vintage Seychellois style and furnished with antiques, old travel posters, historic maps and work by local artists. Villa interiors have floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor showers and bathtubs. The whole resort can also be booked as a private island buyout. It was formerly known as JA Enchanted Island Resort.

The two restaurants and two bars include Bounty, which overlooks the marine park, and Sundowners, a beach bar set directly in the sand.

Once a coconut plantation, Le Domaine de L'Orangeraie Resort & Spa is an infinity pool hotel in the Seychelles, spread over tropical gardens and a hillside at Anse Severe, at the edge of La Passe village on La Digue. Its shared infinity pool is open to all guests and sits on a timber deck in the resort's seafront dining area, with an open edge facing the sea and the island of Praslin. A pool bar serves drinks and snacks. Two villa categories add a pool of their own: the Pool Villa has a private plunge pool, and the Presidential Villa, high on the hill, has a private infinity pool.

The accommodation follows a quiet Zen style. Garden Rooms open onto a balcony or terrace among the plants, while the Villas de Charme sit higher on the hillside slopes, with views over the tropical greenery. The Garden Suite Residences are designed for families. The Presidential Villa covers 485 square meters (about 5,200 square feet), sleeps up to six and comes with a personal butler.

The Eden Rock Spa stands among granite boulders on the hill above Anse Severe, with views over the water to Praslin, and offers massages, body scrubs and wraps by appointment. Breakfast is a buffet at Santosha, a restaurant facing the ocean, and Combava serves a la carte lunch and dinner next to the pool.

Best for: couples who want a villa stay on La Digue, and travelers who plan to explore the island from a resort close to its main village.

Constance Ephelia is a large infinity pool hotel in the Seychelles, spread over 120 hectares (about 300 acres) on the west coast of Mahé. The resort sits between two beaches and faces Port Launay Marine National Park. Its infinity pools are private: only the Hillside Villas and the single Presidential Villa have one, on granite rocks above the shore with ocean views over the marine park. Guests in the other categories share the resort's pools at ground level, among the gardens and thatched pavilions, with a bar beside one of them.

Rooms start with Tropical Garden View Rooms, which have a balcony and open onto the garden. Junior Suites sit a few steps from the beach, each with a furnished terrace. The Family Villas, with two or three bedrooms, have private pools and gardens, and the Hillside Villas add in-villa dining.

The resort bills its Constance Spa Village as one of the largest spas in the Indian Ocean. On the estate, guests can ride a zip-line through the treetops, go rock climbing, kayak in the mangroves when the tide allows, snorkel, and play tennis or squash. The Coconut Tribe kids' club welcomes children aged 4 to 11. Among the restaurants, Cyann serves fusion cuisine with a view over the marine park, and Helios serves a Mediterranean lunch buffet on the beach. Best for: couples who book a Hillside Villa for its private infinity pool, and active families who want a kids' club and outdoor sports.

STORY Seychelles is a beachfront resort on Beau Vallon Beach, on the northwest coast of Mahé, with the green slopes of Morne Seychellois National Park behind it. Its main pool is a long pool shared by all guests, set among palms just behind the sand, with the Ripples bar beside it for cocktails and light lunches.
