Luxury Retreat: Eden Island in the Seychelles

Enjoy yachting? Eden Island in the Seychelles is the perfect luxury retreat!

THE SPACE

All the architecture on this island is inspired by the Seychelles vernacular: clean, simple lines, wide verandahs set under deeply pitched red roofs, with wide doors and windows opening up to the balmy world outside. All two-storey villas have six bedrooms en-suite, a private pool and garden, views onto the turquoise sea and front verandahs on both levels. There’s also reserved mooring for a yacht.

THE LOCATION

Think bath water – and it’s also virtually as flat as that. The Indian Ocean is ideal if you’re the yachting-and-snorkeling type. Temperature range: 25 – 32˚C.

THE EXTRAS

Eden Island is only a few minutes from Victoria, the financial and administrative capital. The Seychelles is made up of 115 islands, which makes it one of the top honeymoon destinations in the world. Add to that the fact that the sea is gentle and, with all those islands, there are plenty deserted coves in which to park a yacht for the day, it’s a popular playpen for playboys and girls. These couples have visited: Prince William and Kate, Salma Hayek and François Henri Pinault and Posh and Becks.
