The Minor Hotel Group’s (MHG) Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa has opened on the island of Mahé following an extensive US$14m (€12m, £9m) refurbishment.
The 124-bedroom property features two restaurants, a pool lounge and shisha bars in addition to an AvaniSpa – which offers one double and three single treatment rooms, a sundeck and plunge pool.
Therapies include Ayurvedic rituals, wraps, massages or a Turkish hammam experience, among others. Italian luxury skincare supplier Comfort Zone provides the body care products for the spa.
Other activities on offer at this property include treks along nature trails, mangrove waterways, spice and botanic gardens, heritage sites and island cruises.
The capital, Victoria, is a 25-minute drive away from the resort.
