Tourexpi
Hilton (NYSE: HLT) announced the opening of its newest
property, Canopy by Hilton Seychelles – marking the boutique
lifestyle brand’s debut in the Indian Ocean.
Situated in the south of Mahé, Canopy by Hilton
Seychelles is the brand’s first resort property in the world, seamlessly
blending local flair with contemporary charm to deliver an idyllic getaway for
families and adventure seekers alike. A short drive from the Jardin du Roi
(Spice Garden), and the Anse à la Mouche beach known for its shallow and calm
seas, the 120-guest room resort draws inspiration from its surroundings to
offer an authentic guest experience – from the stylishly designed rooms
infusing elements of the locality to the tranquil spa and world-class food and
drink offerings.
Guy Hutchinson, president, Middle East and Africa,
Hilton, said, “We are excited to continue growing our portfolio in the
Indian Ocean, offering more incredible destinations for guests, with the debut
of Canopy by Hilton Seychelles. Joining five Hilton-branded properties in the
Seychelles, including the recently opened Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island, the resort
promises guests a memorable stay that beautifully integrates our renowned
Hilton hospitality with the local charm of Mahé.”
Guests can enjoy a compelling range of culinary
options at the resort’s three dining venues. Avocet serves indulgent
breakfast spreads, as well as à la carte French and Creole fusions for lunch
and dinner. Evening experiences feature enticing entertainment options for the
perfect stay.
Fun meets the spirit of Seychelles’ traditional
Sega dance at Sega Bar, a perfect spot to lounge and enjoy a dip
overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, Palem opens
later this year and will offer guests a seaside and Asian inspired dining
experience, bursting with flavours from Indonesia, Thailand, and China and
featuring locally crafted cocktails.
Jenna Hackett, brand leader, Canopy by Hilton said,
“We are thrilled to debut the world’s first Canopy by Hilton resort in the
Seychelles as we continue to expand the brand’s footprint in leisure and resort
destinations. Joining a global portfolio of 40 properties, Canopy by Hilton
Seychelles offers guests a slice of paradise, blending the authentic local
flair of Anse à la Mouche with a sophisticated design that captures the essence
of the neighbourhood. We look forward to welcoming guests to this amazing destination.”
Guests can relax and rejuvenate at Afloya, a
symphony of natural beauty framed by the mangroves that surround the property.
The ethos of the spa centres around the connection to nature, and tranquil
relaxation through the elements and restorative power of natural botanicals.
Guests can work up a sweat at the resort’s modern fitness centre, take a dip at
one of the three pools, enjoy water sports activities at the beach, or relax at
the transfer lounge before departing to the airport.
For younger guests, the Bounty Seekers Kids
and Teens Club provides a supervised adventure playground that fuels the
curiosity of children and teens. The club offers crafts that ignite creativity,
exhilarating games, and outdoor exploration including bonfires and jam
sessions.
As part of the resort’s engagement with the local
community, the property team is helping to support the natural environment — by
rejuvenating the mangroves and the Mahé coastline – as well as promoting energy
efficiency and sustainability in the resort’s operations.
Canopy by Hilton Seychelles is part of Hilton
Honors, the award-winning guest loyalty programme for Hilton’s 22 world-class
hotel brands. Hilton Honors members who book directly through preferred Hilton
