With winter upon us, much of the world is feeling the cold and many blanketed by snowy weather. Not so the Seychelles, where January days with lows that average 24 degrees and highs that average 30 degrees, make it the perfect place for outdoor recreation or a relaxing respite by the pool or on the beach in the warm sunshine. The H Resort located on Beau Vallon Beach, is the only five-star resort that offers both relaxed island chic and leisure activities in Mahé, the largest island of the Seychelles. The resort’s location and range of activities appeal to eco-tourists, adventure travellers, sportsmen and nature lovers and sun-seekers alike.
The H Resort’s guests can explore the wonders of the Indian Ocean and the islands that make up the archipelago, both above and beneath its azure blue waters and experience first-hand the many natural jewels that make Seychelles a haven of biodiversity.
Snorkelling and scuba diving reveal a unique subaquatic world with an unparalleled ecosystem of aquatic life. The clear waters and temperate Seychelles’ climate, allow for extraordinary underwater visibility that portrays the diverse species, landforms and corals in the most fascinating way.
For those who prefer above-the-surface activities, The H Resort can arrange for hiking trips so guests can discover unspoilt corners while exploring the topography and natural beauty of this ‘one of a kind’ island, Mahé. The hiking trips follow routes that blend in with the surroundings, enabling guests close encounters with the island’s indigenous creatures including rare birds such as the White Tern and the Seychelles Kestrel.
