Kempinski Seychelles Resort is a large, family-friendly five-star beach resort on Baie Lazare, in the south of Mahé.
The resort spreads across a hillside above Baie Lazare, a quiet bay on Mahé’s southwest coast, at the foot of the granite peak it calls Mount Kempinski. The plantation-style buildings, recently refurbished, hold around 148 rooms and suites, most with a balcony or terrace and a sea or hill view.
Rooms extend from Hill View and Sea View categories to one-bedroom suites, with a focus on space and comfort rather than private pools. Dining centres on the all-day Café Lazare and the Asian L’Indochine, with the Planters and Windsong bars for drinks and live music. Family-friendly as much as romantic, with a large pool, a spa, a kids’ club, and a mountain hiking trail. Baie Lazare is quiet and scenic, about 30 minutes from the airport.
