Lémuria Resort Seychelles Hotel in Seychelles

Sarah Fox, Mauritius

Imagine a scene from the series 'Lost' and that is Lemuria Resort - plenty of natural foliage and three picture perfect beaches. We recommend it for people wanting complete privacy. It is quieter and less social than its sister hotel Ephelia so if you are looking for a bit more life about then rather go for Ephelia., however if a quiet retreat is just up your street, Lemuria will be perfect for you.

The 5-star deluxe Constance Lémuria Resort (member of Relais & Châteaux) has an 18-hole championship golf course and is just 5 minutes from Praslin airport. Lémuria enjoys an idyllic location on the northwest coast of the island. Surrounded by luxuriant and rare vegetation, washed by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, the hotel lies directly on 3 beautiful sandy beaches. The entire property is designed in complete empathy with its natural surroundings to provide an ambiance of total tranquillity and refined elegance. To reach Lémuria you fly into Mahe and over to Praslin island by sea plane.

Room Types

Our Comments and Suggestions on choosing a Room Type:

Our feeling is that if you want the experience of Lemuria but can’t stretch yourselves to a senior suite, the junior suites are more than sufficient and will not disappoint. There is no major advantage to choosing the senior suite in terms of location of the rooms. The rooms are all sweep down the beach in a long row. It is just a matter of size really and having whirlpool bath and separate lounge area. All of the rooms are luxurious and all enjoy the same benefits of the resort.

Certainly if you want to push the boat out and really spoil yourselves or you are travelling with a group or family you may want to consider the villas which are the ultimate in luxury.

The Junior Suites are each 52 m2. They constructed in wood, marble, limestone and pink granite. Each suite is designed in a minimalist, yet luxurious style with large bathrooms and a fully furnished terrace/balcony with private dining space.

The Senior Suites are each 115 m2 and are exceptionally spacious. Each lavishly appointed room has all the facilities as described for junior suites but in addition have a bath tub with whirlpool in the master bathroom, separate lounge with shower/WC and a double size terrace/balcony.

The Villas are each 725 m2 and are perfect for families or couples alike. The 2 bedroom villas are situated at the southern tip of Anse Kerlan. The bedrooms lead directly into the gardens and beach just metres away.

Each of the 2 bedrooms with spacious en-suite bathroom, outdoor shower/bath, living-/dining area with TV and Playstation® (free of charge, on request), kitchenette for the Villa Master and service staff. The living room leads directly outside to a dining area sunken into the private swimming pool and a personal relaxation and massage pavilion. Villa Masters take care of every requirement throughout the guests’ stay, delivering an experience beyond expectation.

The Presidential Villa is 1250 m2 with 3 bedrooms. The villa rests on the southern tip of Anse Kerlan. A private hotel within a hotel designed and crafted to deliver a completely unique experience not found anywhere else in the Seychelles or perhaps the world. A master suite including its own terrace bathroom with private whirlpool, sauna and steam bath. 2 further suites accommodate 3 multi-level pools which surround the buildings with steps leading to a private beach. Endless features such as a fully equipped office are included within the villa and a private staff, chef and security remove the need to be anywhere else in the world.
