On the northwestern edge of Mahé Island, Constance Éphélia has carved out a rare balance: a luxury resort that doesn’t turn its back on the environment.

Set across 120 hectares of rainforest, mangroves, and pristine beachfront, the property attracts travelers who want comfort without compromise.

A setting that speaks for itself

The resort sits between two of Mahé’s most striking beaches, with views that stretch across the Port Launay Marine Park and up toward the rugged Morne Seychellois National Park.

A mangrove forest divides the property, not as an obstacle but as part of the design. Guests moving between the north and south sections often pass through shaded wooden walkways where nature feels close at hand.

Those staying in the hillside villas have the advantage of sweeping ocean views and private access, with golf buggies on call to manage the steep terrain.

Rooms for every kind of traveler

Éphélia offers 313 accommodations, ranging from junior suites for couples to expansive family villas and spa villas for wellness seekers. 

The hillside villas remain the crown jewel: infinity pools, dramatic panoramas, and a level of privacy that doesn’t feel removed from the rest of the resort.

A Taste of Seychelles and beyond

Dining is a central part of the experience. With five restaurants and bars, guests can move from Creole-inspired dishes to international menus without repetition. Meals can be casual—served just steps from the sand—or more formal, in elegant dining rooms.

The spa, the largest in the Indian Ocean, extends the resort’s emphasis on balance. Spread across several gardens, it includes treatment rooms, whirlpools, steam and sauna facilities, Japanese baths, and yoga spaces designed to be as restorative as the treatments themselves.

Sustainability as core policy

Constance Éphélia’s luxury offering is anchored by its environmental commitments. The resort has been recertified nine times by Green Globe, a marker of consistency in areas ranging from water conservation to waste reduction. 

Glass bottles, refill stations, and compostable packaging have replaced much of the plastic once common in the region.

One of its most celebrated initiatives is the mangrove rehabilitation program. Partnering with local beekeepers, the resort has turned restored mangrove areas into a source of honey production, while also running tours and hands-on planting experiences for guests. 

Beyond the ecosystem, there’s a social dimension: local artisans and Creole traditions are embedded into the resort’s culture, giving visitors a more genuine sense of Seychelles.
