Operator yet to be announced
Due to launch in 2027, the new resort will be located on Assomption in the Aldabra archipelago, a tiny region of the Seychelles.
The new project is being spearheaded by Assets Group, a premium development group specialising in luxury hospitality and sustainable development.
The resort will include up to 40 villas with beach access, a wellness spa and gym, all-day dining, outdoor cinema, a kids’ and beach club and multiple dining choices.
The operator of the resort on Assomption will be announced in 2025, with the resort itself expected to open in 2027.
Interiors focus
The interior design will marry the timeless elegance of French historical elegance with the vibrant charm of Seychellois aesthetics.
Natural materials like rattan, alongside vivid island-inspired textiles and décor, will infuse spaces with warmth and local flavour. Overall, the new resort will exude historical charm while celebrating the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Seychelles.
The Aldabra region consists of the Aldabra group of islands – Aldabra, Assomption, Astove and Cosmoledo – and the Aldabra atoll islands of Grand Terre, Malabar, Picard and Polymnie. The gateway to all of these is the small Aldabra Islands airport located on Assomption Island, where the new resort will be located.
The Aldabra coral atoll is one of the world’s largest and reported to have been first discovered in 916AD. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the Indian Ocean, over 1000km southwest of the main Seychelles island of Mahé.
Abid Butt, CEO of Assets Group, the developer overseeing the new resort, said: “The islands around Aldabra offer the most beautiful beaches, incredible wildlife and some of the best diving in the world. It is a perfect and pristine destination to create one of the finest and unique resorts, for those who appreciate the best in relaxation and rejuvenation, while we also focus on protecting and preserving the marine life and wider eco-system.”
