Dubai, UAE: Imagine a summer escape where luxury is an art form and nature becomes your most captivating gallery.

For those still dreaming of the perfect August getaway, Cheval Blanc Seychelles, nestled gracefully along the pristine white sands of Nonnu Atoll, extends an exquisite invitation.

This stunning Maison transcends the typical holiday destination; it is a true sanctuary where contemporary creativity merges seamlessly with the untamed elegance of its natural surroundings.

Every detail, from its award-winning gastronomy to its state-of-the-art facilities, reflects a profound respect for its setting.

An Artistic Sanctuary: Design and Inspiration

Stepping into Cheval Blanc is to be immediately immersed in its essence. The very air carries the Maison’s olfactory signature, Jungle Chic, a woody and musky fragrance crafted by Guerlain’s renowned perfumer, Thierry Wasser. This scent encapsulates the exotic spirit of Seychelles, guiding you on a deep sensorial journey. Visually, the Maison’s signature Wild Green colour celebrates the vitality and lush biodiversity that surrounds it, harmonising delicately with natural hues of beige and taupe.

The architecture itself is a work of art. Award-winning architect Jean-Michel Gathy drew inspiration from traditional Creole houses of Seychelles, known for their sharply sloping roofs and breezy, open structures. Each of the 52 villas feels like a private haven, boasting soaring ceilings over four metres high that open to panoramic views of the beach and Indian Ocean, inviting natural light to flood every space. Inside, sand-finished murals, mirrors framed by porcelain shells, and decorative panels adorned with mother-of-pearl inlays mirror the exterior beauty, crafting a cohesive, tranquil experience.

Poetic Expressions: Art Throughout the Maison

Throughout the Maison, art subtly converses with the landscape. Joël Andrianomearisoa, a leading figure in the global art scene, presents “Un souffle du temps sur la mélodie de nos songes.” This expansive artwork flows through every part of the Maison, with his textile pieces – as wild as untamed grass and found in 52 unique variations, one for each villa – engaging in a profound dialogue with nature’s raw power.

Adding another layer of artistic depth, Parisian artist Maximilien Pellet has created a masterful fresco in Vivamento restaurant. True to his passion for ancient frescoes, his work, inspired by Etruscan banquets, adorns the bar with minimalist, graphic imagery. It is beautifully enlivened by the shimmering dance of light across its glossy, rippling surface – a vibrant celebration of Italian conviviality and the pure art of living.

For travellers seeking more than just a luxurious escape, Cheval Blanc Seychelles offers an enriching summer journey. It is a place to find profound inspiration, to reconnect with nature, and to discover an unparalleled blend of contemporary art and wild elegance. This August, let Cheval Blanc Seychelles be your captivating backdrop for an unforgettable, art-infused island dream.
