Four Seasons Resort Seychelles

We stayed at the Four Seasons resort, on the island of Mahe, for 10 days as part of our honeymoon. We opted for the Serenity villa for that extra privacy and we weren’t disappointed. The Four Seasons Beach is the best on the island; soft white sand, palm trees and amazing fish and coral makes for great snorkelling! The villa surpassed our expectations, it was beautiful and we received treats each day from housekeeping. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and were super friendly. Big shout out to James, Mervin, David, Hansel, Ian and Basil. The main hotel offered an extensive cuisine which equalled the quality we would expect in London restaurants. Highly recommend this destination for a couples holiday/ honeymoon.

This was our most expensive splurge for our trip to the Seychelles and it was absolutely worth it! Prior to going, I had compared reviews of several different beautiful properties for our splurge including the six senses, Constance, Waldorf Astoria, Anantara and we ended up choosing the Four Seasons because we had amazing experiences with other FS properties. We also saw a review on YouTube that ranked this particular FS property as one of their top 5 in the world. We knew we had to choose it! From the get go, they took note that we didn’t drink alcohol so they gifted us the most delicious non-alcoholic bubblies, along with a cake to celebrate our 7 year anniversary! I also loved the fresh coconut welcome drink they gave us. Every day, they would leave our room with a little snack and surprise message on the bed. This is not the most ‘updated’ Four Season I’ve visited, but I do love how spacious the villas were. We booked the garden villa so we had a beautiful lotus pond as our view. I saw workers cleaning the pond daily of debris. There’s always people making sure the grounds are extremely manicured. We had an amazing pool outside, and some lounging area, but honestly, we spent most of our time at their beautiful on-site beach Petite Anse! I believe we were there during low season (September), but the weather was actually perfect, and the resort wasn’t crowded. The property is very vertical in design due to the granite mountain it’s built on, so you will mostly take buggies to get from place to place. They came quickly whenever we requested for them on WhatsApp. They did let us know that during peak season, it can take up to 15 minutes sometimes to get your buggy ride. We did a group snorkel with the on-site marine biologist and it was so much fun! Out of everywhere we stayed in Seychelles, this particular beach had the best snorkel! We saw a ton of fish and they had told us that people even saw whale sharks out at sea! We tried asking them about any tours that were available for that, but they said there weren’t any particular whale sharks tours. We did a sunset kayak, and it was lovely as the waves were extremely gentle. I normally do get sea sick easily but the way the beach is sheltered, it seems to make that area very calm. Petite Anse also had some of the most soft, white sand there was. It was so powdery and comfortable. There also wasn’t much debris. We thought the chicken sandwich was delicious too. I liked that they gave us water with a cooler bag. However, I wish people came to check up on water service more often. I also did a mat Pilates class, which they said normally would be 8-10 attendees, but mine happened to be just me. The instructor said he kept it easy, but I definitely felt sore the next day. It was a great workout after all the food I ate! It’s also located at the Spa which literally has the most INCREDIBLE view! I wish I had time for a spa treatment! We booked the private residence tour as well, which was AMAZING! It truly inspired us to come back with our family/friends in the future. The house had the most crazy panoramic view. Food was delicious. If you visit Seychelles, you’ll realize that you’re mostly going to have to share food with birds. The Four Seasons clearly understood that, so they have doors to the food buffet areas. This was not the case for some other hotels we went to, and I actually saw birds standing on the waffles at another place. It’s nice to know that I didn’t have to worry about this. However, you still have to guard your food once you get it to the table. The birds are always going to be attracted to the delicious food when you’re in an outdoor space. Just be mindful of that. We also enjoyed the steak shack, both the fish and steak were perfectly cooked. The octopus was super soft too. We loved Zez’s fish and eggplant as well! The dessert was SO delicious. We weren’t planning on it, but the waitress convinced us and we’re glad she did. Lastly, one thing to note: we had to take a cold shower the first night because we were SO impressed by the beauty of their tub, we decided to fill it to relax in first before jumping in the shower. We actually barely filled it to the middle, and started realizing the water was cold already. We thought we would have warm water soon, but after sitting in lukewarm water for about 35 minutes, we couldn’t handle it anymore, and when we messaged them about it, they said it takes at least 45 minutes for the water to heat up again if you run the bath. My issue is that this wasn’t communicated ahead of time. We didn’t get in till 8pm that night, so we were hoping to settle in/eat/ then take a hot bath/nice shower and go to bed. By the time we got in the bath it was almost 11, so I was falling asleep in the lukewarm tub just waiting for water to become hot again, which it took too long. I think the main issue is the design of the bath tub being way too big for practical use. You could probably fit 3-4 adults in there. It looks SO beautiful, and has an incredible view out to the pool etc, but just note the hot water availability issue. Overall, service was great, staff were friendly and on par with other FS properties we’ve been to. We also loved that they had a whole activity calendar for us, which other properties didn’t necessarily have. We can definitely see why this was ranked so highly amongst all the four seasons properties in the world! Highly recommend!

From the moment we arrived, Four Seasons Seychelles felt like stepping into a dream. Perched high on the hillside above Petite Anse bay, the views alone are worth the trip — turquoise water, soft white sand, and lush green jungle in every direction. The setting is pure Seychelles perfection. Our villa was a private sanctuary with its own infinity pool overlooking the ocean, spacious indoor–outdoor living areas, and thoughtful details that made it feel both luxurious and comfortable. Waking up to those sunrise views each morning was unforgettable. Dining was a highlight, with multiple restaurants offering a mix of Creole flavors, fresh seafood, and international dishes. Breakfast was a feast — from tropical fruits to made-to-order specialties — and dinners at Kannel and Zez were equally memorable. While pricing is in line with a luxury island resort, the quality, presentation, and service made each meal special. The beach at Petite Anse is stunning — calm, swimmable waters and powdery white sand. The resort provides complimentary snorkeling gear, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards, so you can enjoy the bay at your own pace. For relaxation, the spa is world-class, offering treatments with panoramic views that make it hard to leave the treatment room. Service was exceptional throughout — warm, polished, and genuinely caring. Every staff member we met seemed genuinely happy to help, from arranging activities to making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect day. While the villas are scattered along a hillside (meaning you’ll rely on buggies for most transportation), the resort’s team runs them efficiently, and waits were always short. Bottom line: Four Seasons Seychelles combines world-class service, spectacular natural beauty, and complete privacy. It’s the kind of place that redefines what a beach holiday can be — a tropical luxury escape you’ll never forget.

We almost cancelled our 3-night reservation at Four Seasons Seychelles on Mahe Island in favour of Anantara Maia or Cheval Blanc due to previous mixed experiences such as Bora Bora and Chiang Rai. Our stay was, however, a nice surprise and reconciled us with Four Seasons. Indeed, we were upgraded to a beautiful hilltop villa with ocean view and special mention for the service: it was extremely attentive and we would like to thank Mary and her entire team for the welcome they provided, which made this stay wonderful.

We visited around 4 weeks ago and we were very satisfied with the service at the Seychelles resort. Mandy Ernesta greeted us . It was a cloudy and rainy day and our spirits were instantly uplifted when we were told that we were upgraded to one of the most beautiful villas on the resort. The villa was exquisite & we were greeted with a bottle of bubbly. The cabby service ran smoothly and all the drivers were efficient & professional. At no point do you feel stranded . The beach is very clean and service at the beds very satisfactory. The boutique had a nice selection yet perhaps could offer more options. This was my second stay at a four seasons resort and will definitely not be my last :)
