Two pristine beaches and the amazing National Marine Park of Port Launay on Mahe Island in Seychelles are now home to the Constance Ephélia Resort – the epitome of luxury holidays in Seychelles.

Its unique location, set within 120 hectares of land boasting a range of luxuriant and rare vegetation were all carefully preserved during construction and now lovingly maintained. In addition to offering well-appointed Junior and Senior Suites, the Resort offers a range of villa experiences to cater to just about anyone’s tastes and desires. Nature trails abound, including one that evokes the legend of the lovely Ephélia, for whom many of the amazing rock formations were allegedly designed and is the namesake of the resort.

An Amazing Destination

The Seychelles offer up the best in balancing tourism and nature, with conservancy at the forefront in any development – new or established. Because of this emphasis, Seychelles have many more indigenous species surviving and thriving than any other inhabited island group in the world. The new Constance Ephélia Resort is no exception, with visitors in awe that a luxury holiday in Seychelles can be so nature-friendly.

Whether you are you contemplating your first trip to Seychelles or this is a repeat visit, Mahé will be a fresh destination when you choose the Constance Ephélia Resort. As you’d expect, with two gorgeous beaches and 4 swimming pools, there are water sports galore to choose from as well as tennis, squash, a climbing wall and nature walks. With all that exercise, you’ll appreciate the Spa de Constance and a dedicated Shiseido Spa and Boutique. Hungry? Five restaurants offer everything from casual meals to a fine dining experience.

The villa experience depends on your own preferences and lifestyle. Family Villas with 2 or 3 bedrooms and a pool are available, as are Beach Villas boasting 1 or two bedrooms and a pool. If you’d rather have a birds-eye view of this corner of paradise, perhaps the Hillside Villas, with their lovely outlooks, a plunge pool and 1 or 2 bedrooms would suit you perfectly.

For a truly pampered experience, the one-bedroom Spa Villas are unparalleled, offering a pool, hot tub and sauna, steam shower and hamman, as well as a special-purpose treatment room for in-villa spa experiences. The only villa that is more spacious is the 3 bedroom Presidential Villa, with its gym, spa, pool and outdoor dining pavilion.

Whatever your style, the Constance Ephélia Resort offers a consummate luxury holiday in Seychelles.

Out and About on Mahe Island Seychelles

You’d be forgiven for spending your entire holiday with in the resort, but stepping beyond the portals is a rewarding experience. Stroll through Victoria, the capitol city of Seychelles, and drop in at the Antigone bookstore to pick up brochures that map out the islands’ many nature walks. If you like botanic gardens, why not drop in at the Victoria Botanic Gardens to admire all the plants you can’t grow in your garden back home.

With abundant sea life, tropical gardens and wilds, and some of the most diverse island geography in the world, a Seychelles holiday is a natural. Whether relaxing on the beach or engaging with the environment, or simply soaking up the ambiance, Seychelles is truly unique, and the Constance Ephélia simply reinforces that feeling.
