There is something truly magical, charming, & captivating about Club Med Seychelles that makes you feel like you have been enchanted, and you never want to leave. As Madonna says in her 80 famous hit song; Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free. This is where I long to be, La Isle la bonita ....

Nestled in the heart of the Seychelles archipelago and a protected national marine park, offers a breath-taking natural beauty, pristine beaches, and lush rainforests. Amidst this tropical paradise, you'll discover a haven of luxury and leisure - Club Med Seychelles. In this blog post, I'll take you on a virtual journey to this exotic destination, exploring what makes Club Med Seychelles a dreamy escape for travellers seeking the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, pure joy and natural wonder.

Getting there:

Upon arrival at Mahe airport, we were greeted by the ground handling company that services CM guests, who did a great job in sorting out our luggage and escorting us on 15 min shuttle ride to Club Med Lounge, where we were welcomed by Club Med team with cold towels and beverages. In the meantime, we had our check-in completed & our luggage tagged and uploaded into the boat. The boat ride was smooth although it was raining; it took less than 15 minutes to reach the enchanting island of Sainte Anne.

Accommodation:

As we approached Club Med Seychelles for disembarkation, this time; we were greeted with stunning turquoise waters, white sandy beaches & swaying palm trees. Followed by welcome drink and briefing of our stay before we got into our accommodation. The resort offers a range of luxurious accommodation options, including beachfront suites (some of them come with their own private pool), Family, Deluxe, Superior Garden & Seaview Rooms. I had the pleasure to stay in a Superior Seaview Room where I got to wake up every day to the sound of gentle waves and take in panoramic ocean views from my own balcony. Being an Eco-Resort, all amenities in the room were made of recycled materials like sleepers, water bottles, even the toothbrush.

Service:

GOs (which means Gentles Organizers). They embody the Club Med spirit of friendliness, inclusivity, and enthusiasm, they play a vital role in ensuring guests have a memorable and enjoyable vacation experience. GOs normally are multi-talented and skilled employees who provide various services and activities to guests, creating a casual, lively and engaging atmosphere throughout the stay. During my stay, I got to know some nice GOs like Vincent, Jacky & Youcef as well they got to know me, and we became friends. GO-Show present a daily evening Entertaining Program for the entire family members to get involved and bond together in a fun & relaxing atmosphere allowing you; as a guest to be yourself!

Family-Friendly Destination Resort:

Club Med Seychelles caters to families with a variety of amenities and activities for children of all ages. The Mini Club Med for the little ones under the age of 3 offers supervised activities by Club Med GO's and the Junior Club Med for teenagers, ensuring that parents can relax while their children have fun and make new friends. There are various options for adults to have their own "ME TIME" starting from the Zen Zone where the beautifully heart-shaped adults-only pool is located together with the Yoga center. Otherwise, parents/adults can just take a nice relaxing chill on the Beach Bar & enjoy the ocean breeze, while couples can spend quality time in a romantic ambiance at the Reef Beach Lounge which offers an enhanced feel and look especially after dark when there is a subtle play of lights.

Food & Beverage:

Club Med Seychelles offers a diverse culinary experience, with multiple restaurants and bars to choose from. Guests can savor delicious Creole, Mediterranean, and international cuisines while enjoying breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. The resort also hosts themed evenings and beachside BBQs, creating memorable & fun dining experiences. Turtle Cove is an all-day dining offering a rich buffet including live stations, while the Reef Lounge serves la carte menu.

During my unforgettable stay at Club Med Seychelles, I got to experience a true feeling of pure joy & happiness, where I got to start my day venturing into the vibrant seaworld, taking a hiking yoga in the afternoon & dancing my heart out under starry sky at night. Beyond water-based activities, the resort can organize excursions to explore the rich culture and natural beauty of the Seychelles, including visits to local markets and nature reserves.
