The Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa

The Hilton Northolme Resort & Spa is the oldest-established luxury hotel on the Seychelles’ main island of Mahé. It is on Beau Vallon Bay, eight kilometres from the colonial-era capital Victoria in the north of the island and 25 minutes from Pointe Larue International Airport. Ian Fleming was a guest in the 1950s, and this stunning resort was an inspiration for his novel ‘For Your Eyes Only’. Northolme retains its old world charm and levels of personal service and understated luxury. Deluxe villas are designed in the traditional local style, and combine modern amenities with typical high ceilings, spacious balconies, airy glass French doors and decorative balustrades. They are set on stilts among the tropical gardens on the hillside or above the waters of the Indian Ocean. The Duniye Spa offers beauty treatments and pampering, allowing you to truly unwind in this exotic location. As well as an infinity pool and three-level sun deck, there is a hilltop restaurant and fine Creole dining options plus great diving at the nearby scuba centre.
