Banyan Tree

Set on the beautiful Anse Intendance beach on the south western coast of Mahe Island in the Seychelles, the Banyan Tree epitomises the ‘sanctuary for the senses’ philosophy of the Banyan group.

Accommodation & Facilities
The 60 large en-suite villas combine colonial architecture and contemporary d’cor and are situated amongst the swaying Takamaka trees, with unspoilt views out over the Indian Ocean. Some of the villas have direct access to the beach whilst others are situated on the hillside with uninterrupted views of the beach and the Indian Ocean beyond. Each has modern amenities including air conditioning, WiFi internet, a mini bar and satellite television as well as a sprawling verandah and private infinity plunge pool.
