Global hotel operator Hilton has announced plans to bring its luxury LXR Hotels & Hotels brand to the archipelago nation of Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.

The new Mango House Seychelles LXR Hotels & Resorts will open on Mahé, Seychelles’ largest island, characterised by its white sand beaches. The five-star resort is on track to open at the start of next year, extending across the edge of the Anse aux Poules Bleues bay.

“We are delighted to have signed an agreement to bring LXR Hotels & Resorts to the Seychelles,” said Carlos Khneisser, vice president, development, Middle East and Africa, Hilton.

“Mango House Seychelles will allow guests to delight in a myriad of unique and exciting culinary concepts, including a variety of locally inspired menus. Guests can look forward to enjoying a boutique luxury resort experience at this outstanding LXR property.”

The property was originally built as a family home by the lauded fashion photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri. Hilton has created the resort with 41 keys, including nine suites, with the interior design retaining the heritage and culture of the surrounding area.

Other facilities include spa treatment rooms overlooking the Indian Ocean, an eye-shaped pool, an infinity pool and a wooden deck pool, along with a strong set of F&B venues.

Once open, F&B venues will include Mediterranean-inspired Muse, Japanese eatery Azido, a barbeque pop-up, an Indo-Seychelles bar serving exotic drinks and a lively poolside bar.
