Constance Lemuria, Seychelles

Accommodation choices here follow the same elegant theme, with every suite and villa tumbling down a granite hillside and tucked within over 100 hectares of Seychellois gardens and palm-studded grounds. Junior suites are sleek and replete with stylish thatched roofs, while also being close to the shore and enjoying beautiful views. The Senior Suites offer more space, a bathroom equipped with a Jacuzzi bath and generous lounge area. For the ultimate indulgence though, we recommend one of the stunning Pool Villas. Set in stunning private gardens just steps from the beach, their clever design ensures you're always drawn towards the outside space and the gorgeous views of Grand Anse Kerlan beach and the Indian Ocean beyond. The perfect secluded hideaway, these villas also come complete with a Villa Master to look after your every need.

Dining comes in the form of three world-class restaurants which fuse Seychellois spice and flavour with the style and elegance of international cuisine. Legend is nestled within the lush foliage and enjoys magnificent ocean views while serving up a huge array dishes which differ depending on the evening you spend there – one night you could have an Indian feast while another could feature a spread of Chinese favourites. DIVA is the signature restaurant at Lemuria – expect delicious gourmet cuisine and superb service amid an elegant and modern setting, along with a sommelier wine room experience where you can try an impressive range of vintages. Set right on the sands of Petite Anse Kerlan, Takamaka is a dreamy spot for a barefoot lunch of sandwiches, ceviches and salads, before transforming into a relaxed bar and grill area in the evening. For sheer location though, the setting of The Nest is hard to beat, where you'll dine on Creole seafood perched on a dramatic rocky peninsula and overlooking the magnificent sands of Petite Anse Kerlan.

Set within swaying palms is the tranquil Constance Spa, where you can indulge in the ultimate pampering experience. There are six treatment rooms providing the perfect setting for a range of massages, facials and body treatments, all utilising natural remedies inspired by plants from the Indian Ocean. There's everything you could possibly want from a spa here, from a podiatrist, hairdresser, sauna, steam room, hairdressers and more. Yoga lessons are also available.

There aren't any direct flights to the Seychelles from the UK – your best bet is to fly with Qatar Airways via Doha. The Seychelles' international airport is on the country's biggest island, Mahé. From there, a 20-minute flight will take you to Praslin, where a 10-minute road transfer will to you to Constance Lemuria. 

Unfortunately not. Stays at Constance Lemuria are typically on a bed and breakfast basis, although there is the option to upgrade to half board.

Yes! All the rooms can cater for children, but the Senior Suites have ample room for two adults and two children.

Yes. Constance Lemuria is actually home to the only 18-hole golf course in the Seychelles! Green fees are complimentary for guests for this spectacular course and its palm-fringed fairways. The 15th hole is jaw-dropping, with the tee overlooking a 150-foot drop to the green below. The views are stunning.
