The Banyan Tree Resort is hidden amongst the swaying palm trees and lush vegetation of Mahe, overlooking the bleached white sands of Intendance Bay. This intimate and luxurious ’plantation style’ resort offers guests a unique hideaway on a beach that is often referred to as one of the most beautiful in the world.
Each of the forty eight elegant ocean view and beachfront villas are a mixture of contemporary and colonial decor, with high sloping ceilings, louvered doors and ethnic woven textiles. Each villa enjoys its own swimming pool, outdoor jacuzzi, landscaped garden and private sundeck. For the ultimate in luxury and exclusivity, the Presidential Villa occupies its own private cove by the water’s edge.
The cuisine at Banyan Tree is a gastronomic celebration of mouth watering flavours and fragrances that can be enjoyed in a variety of Banyan’s exotic dining venues. For a more intimate experience a romantic outdoor barbeque on the beach can be arranged or you can savour the delights of an extensive in-villa dining menu.
Recreational activities at Banyan include island hopping excursions to discover the secrets of Mahe on a sightseeing trip, a cooling dip in the resort’s infinity pool, a game of tennis or a workout at the fully fitted gym. A host of water sport facilities are also available subject to the season and sea conditions. For a touch of extra indulgence and pampering, a ’must’ here is a visit to the Banyan Tree Spa and beauty salon, where qualified therapists offer a variety of treatments that draw on Asian traditions dating back centuries.
