Very nice Culinary Experience

The dining options at Raffles Seychelles are truly amazing! I enjoyed good themed nights and the a la carte menu offered a wide variety of exquisite dishes. The Indian buffet, in particular, was just extraordinary. The attention to detail in the food presentation and quality made every meal a nice experience.

Lovely Spa Treatments

I indulged in the signature massage at the spa, which was an out-of-this-world experience! The serene outdoor treatment room allowed me to connect with nature while enjoying a very good massage service. I highly recommend this as a must-try during your stay.
