Aurelle Curator's Verdict

Cheval Blanc Seychelles is the ultimate playground for LVMH loyalists and design aficionados seeking a polished, mainland alternative to the archipelago's private islands. While the resort offers the most sophisticated kids' club and culinary scene on Mahé, it should be skipped by those demanding a swimmable, calm swimming beach, as the powerful Anse Intendance waters are often too rough for all but the strongest swimmers. The one signature experience worth flying for is a dinner at Le 1947, where the brand’s legendary French gastronomy meets the raw, cinematic beauty of the Seychellois jungle.
