Hilton Worldwide has revealed that its luxury brand LXR Hotels & Resorts will enter the Seychelles next year with a spectacular 41-key scheme surrounded by verdant fruit trees and turquoise waters.

Due to open in early 2021, Mango House Seychelles on MahĆ© island will be Hilton Worldwide’s fourth property in the Seychelles.

ā€œWe are delighted to have signed an agreement to bring LXR Hotels & Resorts to the Seychelles,ā€ said Carlos Khneisser, vice president, development, Middle East and Africa, Hilton. ā€œWe currently operate three properties on the islands and the destination’s enduring appeal as a year-round holiday sanctuary for the world’s discerning travellers makes it a prime location to grow our luxury portfolio with the LXR brand.

ā€œIn addition to providing tailored service, 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.ā€

A private bolthole

Perched beachside along the calm bay of Anse aux Poules Bleues, Mango House Seychelles is a remote bolthole that was originally built as a private home by the celebrated Italian photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri.

Now comprising 41 guestrooms and nine suites, the hotel will fly the LXR flag with a tailored offering that unravels across a series of unparalleled amenities and experiences.

Standout features of LXR’s latest outpost

For starters, there are no less than five drinking and dining spots. These include a beachside barbecue pop-up offering grilled seafood, a Japanese restaurant specialising in freshly made sushi and robatayaki-grilled delicacies, and an Indo-Seychellois bar serving up exotic cocktails inspired by the island’s first settlers.

Elsewhere, there are a range of treatment rooms; three pools, including an infinity pool; and a series of activities and experiences available to visitors, ranging from enjoying barefoot candlelit dinners to snorkelling in the clear, warm waters.

ā€œIt’s a pleasure to introduce LXR to the Seychelles where our guests will experience the unique story of this incredible property come to life,ā€ said Feisal Jaffer, global head, LXR Hotels & Resorts. ā€œDeveloped in harmony with its picturesque surroundings, Mango House Seychelles will deliver handcrafted hospitality with the rich and fascinating Seychellois culture woven into every aspect of the guest experience.

ā€œThe property will be a fabulous addition to our growing collection, and we look forward to extending LXR’s exceptional service to both visitors and locals of these fabled islands.ā€
