Overview
LVMH’s 52-villa maison on Anse Intendance (opened December 2024 on the former Banyan Tree site — Banyan Tree Seychelles is closed). Jean-Michel Gathy villas from 220 m², each with a 13-metre private pool and an Ambassadeur. Five restaurants including Le 1947. Director buy-outs and tiny incentives only. We will not brief a 100-person rooming list here.
We brief Cheval Blanc Seychelles as part of a meeting, incentive, conference or executive retreat — not as a consumer hotel checkout. Availability is on request from the Arusha desk, with Nairobi and Mauritius covering hub and island programmes.
Location
Cheval Blanc Seychelles sits in Anse Intendance, Takamaka, Mahé, Mahé, Seychelles. There is often no street address in the bush — the pin is the property name, the airstrip, or the hotel road in town.

Accommodation details
Occupancy limits
Occupancy follows the inventory above: sharing versus single is the usual swing on a MICE rooming list.
Bed configurations
Doubles, twins and singles as the property actually holds them — we collect the rooming list before we lock the block. We do not invent a suite mix the lodge has not confirmed.
Room sizes
Published square metres are a consumer-hotel spec. We brief the category — tent, suite, villa or room — and any ground-floor or interconnecting need in the annex.
A closed working session can sit here if the rooming list fits. A slide-heavy plenary still belongs in the city or on a beach resort that already has AV.
Services and amenities
What we actually brief for this stay. Paid extras, spa hours and meeting-room AV are confirmed in the proposal — not as a consumer extras menu.

Policies
Check-in and check-out
Hotel hours are confirmed when we contract the block. Typical city and beach houses use afternoon check-in and late-morning check-out; we request early or late as the diary needs it, subject to the hotel.
Cancellation
Cancellation follows the programme contract and the supplier behind this stay — not a one-line website percentage. Peak safari, gorilla lodges and island peak are the least flexible lines. Force majeure and airstrip clauses sit in the annex.
Children
Family rooms and interconnecting stock are requested with the rooming list. Age rules, cots and extra beds are confirmed with the hotel — not assumed from a brochure.
Pets
Not for MICE rooming lists unless the property and the brief both say otherwise. Service animals are a named conversation, not a website toggle.
Payment
Payment is through Serengeti Experience DMC as part of the programme invoice: a confirmation deposit to hold the block, staged supplier payments, and a final payment before arrival. This is not a consumer booking engine and we do not take card payments on this page.
Other terms
Cheval Blanc Seychelles is contracted subject to availability. Park fees, conservancy fees, gorilla permits and internal air are separate lines unless the proposal says they are included.
Planner notes
We do not publish star ratings or scraped guest reviews. Fit is scale, access and the operations annex — not a 4.8 average that we did not collect.

When should we contract Cheval Blanc Seychelles?
April–May and October–November are the sweet spots: good water, slightly softer rates. July–August and Christmas are peak. Flagship safari and gorilla inventory still wants 12–18 months. City board nights can often be placed in 6–9 months.
Do you publish a nightly rate for Cheval Blanc Seychelles?
No. Availability and the commercial are on request through Serengeti Experience DMC as part of a meetings, incentive, conference or retreat programme. We will not invent a website price the lodge then contradicts.
Can we book Cheval Blanc Seychelles without a MICE programme?
This page is for incentive houses, corporate travel buyers and event planners contracting through Serengeti Experience DMC. We confirm the block, the rooming list and the operations annex together.
