THE FACTS ABOUT BANYAN TREE SEYCHELLES

Seychelles

The stretch of beach on Mahé island once jointly owned by George Harrison and Peter Sellers became the setting of the Banyan Tree in 2002. But the sea can be rough in this area, so most visitors lounge on the teak decking beside the hotel's 23-metre infinity pool. Here they are served ice-cold drinks and local delicacies while gazing out at the view over Intendance Bay. CONTACT 00 248 383500; www.banyantree.com/seychelles
