A dash of European heritage, an exotic island address, nature and cuisine galore, and so much more; here are five reasons to fall in love with Kempinski Seychelles Resort, Baie Lazare
A Stunning Destination
The ocean and sky compete for the ‘most beautiful blue’ crown, while the 1.2km-long beach is content with being sandy white and a contrast to the lush green backdrop. This is not just any ‘greenery’ either: the resort is on the cusp of two UNESCO World Heritage sites. Within easy reach are the capital Victoria and also the islands of Praslin and La Digue, so the avid explorer has much to discover, with the Kempinski Seychelles as their opulent headquarters. That said, the hotel has plenty of competing reasons to convince the guest to stay on-resort, such as a sunset dinner or sunrise breakfast overlooking the beach or lagoon. Speaking of food…
Dining Delights
The hotel is proud of its culinary portfolio, and with good reason. Café Lazare is a scrumptious place to start (or end) the day, with all-day dining that has themed buffets in the evenings. Windsong Beach Restaurant has direct beach access, and is the ideal place for grilled seafood and BBQ, with the sound of the waves as a soothing accompaniment. There’s Planters Bar & Lounge, which offers light snacks, indulgent cocktails and live music. And for fare in a more-formal environment, L’Indochine is the prime place for connoisseurs of Pan-Asian cuisine. The pièce de résistance is that the resort boasts its own sushi chef, crafting what is arguably the best sushi served in the Seychelles.
A Sense of Occasion
One thing about this resort is that they know how to put on a show: from weddings, honeymoons and banquets to ballroom soirées or business meetings, there’s every reason to complement that top-notch event with a slice of paradise and luxury. For example, The Salon Quincy Ballroom here is one of the largest event rooms in the Seychelles, and on-site prestige also includes the only hotel-gaming venue in the south of Mahé Island. There are plenty of special offer opportunities for a treat, with a host of stay-combinations such as the Early Booker or Spa packages tailored by the brand for those seeking an extra remarkable holiday experience.
Wellness, Recreation and Family Fun
Adults can opt for a pampering session in magnificent Kempinski The Spa, where a menu of treatments are administered in traditional bungalow houses surrounded by lush forest. The signature, seasonal and beauty regimes ensure guests come away restored, revitalised, relaxed and energised – depending on which therapy they indulge in. Meanwhile for the more active, an Olympic-sized pool, fitness centre, PADI diving centre and two tennis courts should get the adrenaline pumping, or continue the quest for inner peace up on the hill with a spot of yoga. Those most discerning of guests – the children – have not been forgotten here either. A dedicated team is on-hand to keep them entertained at the Kids’ Club, where they can partake in engaging activities such as tortoise feeding. After the clan has gone its separate ways, they can reunite and share time with a range of leisure pursuits such as beach volleyball and badminton, nature walks, watersports activities like
snorkelling or water golf, and there are even bikes available for rent so the family can go exploring with a dose of pedal-power.
Stay in Style
After all the excitement, when it’s time to retire back to a spacious abode there are suite options to suit every vista. Hill View, Sea View, and Sea View Garden rooms are stunning and the Exclusive Suites take luxury up a notch or two to a ‘royal’ level. Available in One Bedroom Hill View or Sea View Garden, these contemporarily decorated suites have lounge areas, kingsized beds, generous-sized bathrooms and all of the comforts one would expect – not to mention stunning vantages of flora to wake-up to each morning. For direct beach access, the Sea View option is a hop away from sinking feet into soft sand, and the Hill View choice overlooks the verdant forests of Mahé. The rooms have been carefully composed to ensure that each is a worthy of being called a ‘home away from home’.
