On the southwest coast of Mahé, Kempinski Seychelles Resort sits in Baie Lazare, a secluded bay at the foot of a striking mountain range. The setting feels far from rush, yet key island sights stay within reach. You can head out for hiking, snorkelling, island hopping or time in Victoria. The airport is also a sensible drive away, which gives the whole stay a smooth start and an easy close from the first day. 

Rooms and suites feel spacious, calm and well-judged, with a design that sits with the gardens and the bay. Across nine room types, you can choose hill, lagoon or ocean views, plus family options and larger suites for more space. Each stay brings air conditioning, a dehumidifier, tea and coffee, a minibar, bathrobes and round-the-clock room service. A terrace or balcony keeps the island close from dawn to dusk in quiet fine style. 

Time at the resort can feel as full or as slow as you like. You can snorkel in clear water, join aquagym, paddle out by kayak or stand-up paddleboard, and try surfing or a fishing trip. The botanical trail and the Mount Kempinski picnic offer a refreshing change from the beach. Beach volleyball, soccer and bocci bring light fun, while yoga gives the day a calm and graceful rhythm for body and mind alike. 

What stands out here is the balance of comfort and range. The resort spreads across tropical grounds with direct access to an 800 metre beach. You have a 50 metre pool, four floodlit tennis and padel courts, a fitness studio, beach and pool service, and a useful arrival lounge. Kempinski The Spa adds six treatment rooms, while Kempinski Kids Club gives younger children their own bright space near a paddling pool for ease for families, too. 

Food takes on a strong sense of place here. Café Lazare serves buffet breakfast and dinner with daily themes, while Windsong Beach Restaurant brings Creole dishes, sushi and sea views from lunch into the evening. Planters Lounge and Bar keeps the mood easy with snacks, drinks and live music after dark. You can also pick beach breakfast, in-room dining, a sushi platter on the sand, or a picnic on Mount Kempinski on a bright day. 

Few settings suit a big life moment as well. The bay feels private, the beach looks beautiful, and the wedding pavilion adds a lovely focal point for vows or a proposal. The resort also arranges wedding services and tailored marriage proposals with care. For larger events, Salon Quincy ranks among the biggest ballrooms in Seychelles, while Lemongrass suits smaller gatherings. The result feels polished, romantic, and free of fuss from start to finish, too.
