LVMH has announced plans to expand its portfolio of premium Cheval Blanc hotels in 2024 with a new beachfront hotel in the Seychelles.
Owned by the group’s hospitality arm, called LVMH Hotel Management, the upcoming 52-key hotel in the Seychelles will join Cheval Blanc destinations in Paris, Courchevel, St-Tropez, St-Barths and The Maldives.
Cheval Blanc Seychelles will be located along the southwestern coast of Mahé Island and be home to a luxury Spa Cheval Blanc offering treatments provided by LVMH-owned spa, beauty and perfume brand Guerlain.
Guerlain is Cheval Blanc’s preferred spa partner and already supplies wellness menus at its spas in St-Tropez, St-Barths, The Maldives and Courchevel. Meanwhile, the Parisian Cheval Blanc at La Samaritaine is partnered with fashion house and beauty brand Dior (also owned by LVMH).
Wellness facilities at the upcoming hotel in the Seychelles will include a pool, a fitness room, a surf simulator and two tennis and padel courts.
Guests will also have access to five distinctive dining experiences, a kids club and a schedule of personalized local experiences and excursions.
Conceived as a homely retreat, the upcoming Cheval Blanc is being designed by architect Jean-Michel Gathy as an ode to Creole traditions and to pay homage to the property’s lush natural surroundings.
The resort’s location was formerly home to Banyan Tree Seychelles but the destination is being completely redeveloped for the new Cheval Blanc outpost.
