Explore the local area and take in the immense beauty of the archipelago, before resting by one of the two outdoor swimming pools or in the award-winning spa with its thirteen treatment pavilions, sauna and pool.

sustainability
As well as eliminating single-use plastic on the resort, Raffles Seychelles has collaborated with the Marine Conservation Society in Seychelles with the aim to protect the coral at the resort’s beach and to increase reef life. This work includes constructing coral nurseries and a snorkeling trail for the guests to discover. Guests can also get involved by taking part in coral planting activities.
The fish and seafood that is served in the restaurants is purchased from local fishermen, and fruit and vegetables are soured from local suppliers too.
