Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi | The St. Regis Mauritius Resort | Four Seasons Resort Seychelles
This month, we spotlight three iconic resorts across the Indian Ocean – from the bold scale and culinary finesse of the Maldives, to the colonial charm of Mauritius and the tropical seclusion of Seychelles. Each destination promises an escape shaped by individuality and extraordinary design.
Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi
Grand Scale, Intimate Moments
An icon of ultra-luxury, Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi spans three private islands, offering 119 villas across beach, reef, and overwater settings.
The journey begins with a luxurious 40-minute yacht transfer from Velana International Airport – a seamless and elegant arrival that sets the tone for what’s to come.
With eleven restaurants, an expansive wellness sanctuary, and even a private island for exclusive hire, this is more than a resort – it’s a destination of its own. Expect treetop dining, underwater adventures, and flawless service.
Insider Tip: For a culinary highlight, reserve a table at Li Long and order the signature Peking Duck, roasted in the Maldives’ first wood-fired oven and served with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.
The St. Regis Mauritius Resort
Refined Colonial Grandeur in Le Morne
At the foot of Le Morne Brabant, a UNESCO World Heritage site, this beachfront resort brings elegance and serenity to one of the most picturesque corners of Mauritius.
Think stately architecture, butler-serviced suites, and a feeling of old-world sophistication blended with modern luxury.
Whether it’s watersports, spa rituals, or romantic sunsets on the beach, the St. Regis delivers a timeless island experience. The atmosphere is quiet and graceful, with every detail thoughtfully curated.
Insider Tip: For guests seeking a true beachfront experience, we recommend Le Morne Beach Access Suites, which feature a large, extensive terrace and direct access to the beach—perfect for enjoying the sun and sea just steps from your door.
Four Seasons Resort Seychelles
Treehouse Luxury Over Petite Anse
Set on Mahé’s lush hillsides, Four Seasons Resort Seychelles offers villa-style seclusion in a nature-rich sanctuary.
Each villa feels like a private retreat suspended above the coastline, with panoramic views and plunge pools nestled in the forest.
It’s a destination for rejuvenation – blending personalized wellness journeys with relaxed, barefoot elegance.
The family-friendly atmosphere also includes nature conservation programs and Creole-inspired adventures.
Insider Tip: Head to the hilltop spa for sunset yoga – one of the most scenic wellness experiences in the Indian Ocean.
