Sparkling turquoise waters gently lap Petite Anse Bay?s secluded, powder-white beach, one of Mahé Island?s very best, bordered by a lush tropical forest. Perched on stilts, each of the 67 Creole-style treehouse villas features a private deck ? with its own outdoor shower and a pool from which the Indian Ocean views stretch to infinity. Offering solitude and serenity, each of Four Seasons Resort Seychelles?s 67 villas ? including five suites ? offers a private sanctuary, perched on stilts high on the jungle hillside or nestled amidst greenery close to the beach. Views look toward the azure waters of the Indian Ocean.

With more living area outdoors than indoors, these expansive accommodations are designed in traditional Creole style, featuring natural timber and brick. Many incorporate existing granite boulders into their sleek, airy interiors. Each villa is surrounded by a large hardwood deck. The highlight is an infinity-edge plunge pool, edged by comfortable chaises longues and a marble dining table.
