Le Domaine de la Réserve

This luxurious hotel has an unparalleled setting on a private beach with exquisite vistas over the Indian Ocean and Curieuse Island in the distance. It encompasses one of the largest swimming pools in the Seychelles (including a pool bar), as well as a gym, conference centre and boutique. Le Domaine’s stylish restaurant overlooks the ocean and specialises in delectable seafood and spicy Creole barbecue fare, although it also offers a wide range of international cuisine.

Le Domaine de La Réserve’s incredible location on the shores of a marine park means that swimming, snorkeling and kayaking are among its most popular leisure activities. Other water-based options are big-game fishing, boat cruises and scuba diving. Day trips can be taken to neighboring Curieuse Island, home to hundreds of giant Aldabra tortoises, as well as to Vallée de Mai, a World Heritage Site. A network of walking and biking trails around the lodge allow visitors to experience the island’s pristine natural environment, up close and personal.
