Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa

Nestled amongst the hillside and beach coves of Beau Vallon Bay, this intimate all villa boutique resort, which radiates charm and elegance, has breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and North Islands. Designed in the traditional Seychellois architecture, a blending of colonial and contemporary decor with typical high ceilings, airy balconies and glass panel French doors, all constructed to blend in with the surrounding natural landscape.

Each of the luxurious villas is sensitively placed to ensure your privacy and is raised on stilts so you can drink in uninterrupted views of the impossibly blue ocean while you relax on your balcony day bed. Choose from spacious ocean view hillside villas located in lush tropical forest or deluxe oceanfront villas raised on stilts closer to the waterfront. For an unforgettable stay, live James Bond style in the Ian Fleming Suite; it was during a stay here the author was inspired to write the plot of 'For Your Eyes Only'.

Relaxing has never felt as elegant as when lazing around in one of the giant hammocks dotted around thw white sandy coves or you could indulge in a pampering experience at the Duniye Spa. After working up an appetite snorkelling or kayaking, stroll along to the elegant restaurant for fine dining and local seafood or alternatively, take in a film and dine casually on the deck in the very special atmosphere of the cinema under the stars.

Prices start from £2449 per person for seven nights in a ocean view hillside villa, breakfast, private transfers and international flights with Air Seychelles.
