Ecologically one of the purest locations in the world, the Seychelles is the unspoiled jewel in the Indian Ocean crown. The resort not only contributes to, but creates an intensively managed wildlife reserve aimed at conserving not only valuable marine life but the many unique and threatened land species and flora found on the islands.
Crossing the mountains of Mahe, from the capital Victoria, Cap Ternay Resort & Spa is only 40 minutes drive from Seychelles’ International Airport.
At an estimated cost of $253 million, this is Emirates Hotels & Resorts’ largest international investment to date, and will be the largest hotel in Seychelles, with a total of 421 individual rooms.
The main resort area, featuring two beaches, will be set around landscaped gardens, swimming pools, and water features. It will be surrounded by the tropical forests and streams of the Morne Seychelloise National Park, and the spectacular rock formations of Cap Matoopa.
The private resort area is set apart, hidden away on the forested slopes of the Matoopa peninsula, overlooking the marine reserve of Baie Ternay.
Modelled on the standards and luxury of Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa and Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa, this area will feature 13 water bungalows, as well as 27 two-bedroom luxury villas and a presidential suite with private spa, dining, recreation areas, and access to several private beaches.
The rooms will have unobstructed views of beaches and mountains, and surround one of the largest swimming pools in the Indian Ocean, covering nearly six acres of cascading pools, lap pools, private inlets and a meandering ‘lazy river’. The property will cater for every family need, also featuring a series of children’s pools and a teenage club.
The Timeless Spa will feature 10 double treatment rooms and eight specialist rooms providing hydro and related beauty therapies.
Throughout the resort, a wide variety of restaurants will provide dining experiences developed to suit all occasions - from casual beach dining, to ‘barefoot’ elegance seafood restaurants, to fine dining in the immaculate French restaurant overlooking Baie Ternay.
The resort will also bring conferencing, exhibition, and banqueting facilities to the Seychelles with an 800-seat convention facility.
On Anse Souillac, a small marina is being developed as a centre for diving, boating and other marine activities, while on dry land there is a range of opportunities to explore the unique surrounding Seychelles landscapes, forests and wildlife.
Jointly managed with Seychelles' Department of Environment, the Cap Matoopa Reserve and Marine Sanctuary will provide guests with access to some of the islands' most beautiful locations.
Excursions and walks into the granite mountains of Morne Seychellois National Park, and nature hikes around the Matoopa Peninsula will expose the guests to the flora, abundant bird-life, and the giant tortoise and turtle species found in the Seychelles.
