Banyan Tree Seychelles is set upon the original Seychellian abode belonging to Pink Panther actor Peter Sellers and Beatles member George Harrison. The resort took painstaking steps toward preserving the authenticity of the site's architecture and culture with the aid of island residents, some of who still dedicate their careers to forwarding Banyan Tree Seychelles' mission of providing a Sanctuary for the Senses.

60 Creole-style villas artfully span across a lush plantation setting create a contemporary island culture. The intention was to redefine Seychellois architecture by drawing on colonial French and English designs. Villas are crafted with high, sloping ceilings, airy verandas and louvred doors to exude an air of erstwhile colonialism.

Eclectic villa interiors that include bold touches of ethnic woven textiles and an air of intimacy can be found throughout the resort, beautifully reflecting the bygone plantation lifestyle of easy opulence. Walk through art pieces evocative of the island's legendary Coco-De-Mer, woven textiles steeped in island ethnic history and nauiloidea motifs.

Review:   Recommended for: Couples

Pros: Possible the most amazing service I've ever experienced. Truly felt like royalty. Gorgeous, pristine beach with almost no one on it--a beach this size in Hawaii would have 10 hotels, each with 1000 guests. The villas are amazing, isolated so that you cannot even see another villa...it's like you're in your own jungle outpost.

Cons: Food and wine is fairly expensive; however, not really any more than at a 5-star Hawaii hotel.
