Guerlain to debut exclusive tropical island spa at Cheval Blanc Seychelles this December

31 Oct 2024 Luxury fragrance, beauty and spa brand Guerlain is gearing up to open its first spa in the Seychelles at Cheval Blanc’s new 52-key beachfront retreat, launching 1 December.

This will mark Guerlain’s 29th spa worldwide and continue its partnership with Cheval Blanc, luxury goods conglomerate LVMH’s ultra-premium hotel brand managed by LVMH Hotel Management.

Guerlain already powers wellness offerings in Cheval Blanc’s locations in Saint Tropez, St. Barts, the Maldives and Courchevel, while the hotel operator’s Parisian property collaborates with Dior, another LVMH brand.

The spa at Cheval Blanc Seychelles will offer a comprehensive suite of wellness treatments and experiences designed to complement the resort’s extensive leisure facilities, including a pool, fitness centre, surf simulator, five distinctive dining options and tennis and padel courts.

Located on the southwest coast of Mahé Island at Anse Intendance Beach, the new retreat has been conceived by architect Jean-Michel Gathy to celebrate Creole traditions and the surrounding lush landscapes. Villas, each featuring a private pool, will offer striking views of the beach, hillside or tropical jungle.

Cheval Blanc Seychelles will also give pride of place to artists, with pieces made specifically for this location by Prune Nourry and Madagascan artist Joël Andrianomearisoa.

The hotel’s location was formerly home to Banyan Tree Seychelles but the destination is being completely redeveloped for the new Cheval Blanc outpost.
