explore

Our resort is a place which allows you to embrace and explore the unspoilt landscape, a place which holds a real respect for nature, for wildlife, for flora. It is a place where we celebrate all who stay and live here, living in complete harmony in a country which is born from a melting pot of Europeans, Africans and Asians. Our resort is a place for living, unbound from the constraints of urban life and limitless in exploration. Where you feel revitalised, through the formation of deep connections with all who live there and the nature that surrounds you. Where you’re freed to live to your natural rhythm. 

jaunts

Twice weekly, join our guided excursion to Victoria — the charming capital of Mahé and one of the world’s smallest cities. Wander through vibrant markets, discover historic landmarks, and experience the easy rhythm of daily island life. From the iconic clocktower to fragrant spice stalls and scenic waterfront views, this cultural outing invites you to step beyond the resort and connect with the authentic spirit of Seychelles.

Prefer to explore closer to home? Discover nearby gems such as Jardin du Roi, where lush gardens and Creole heritage come together, or the local Craft Village, perfect for handmade souvenirs and a glimpse into traditional Seychellois artistry.

Anse Royale - Village Life

laïla could not exist without an embrace of village life, and we aim to offer all guests the chance to drink in that same vibrant culture, throughout their stay with us. From Creole cooking classes and traditional weaving demonstrations to evenings spent around the bonfire dancing to Moutya music: the experiences are as authentic as they are enjoyable.

Kids Fun Zone

kids recreation

Our kid’s area is tailored to the tiniest adventurers on the island (and even those little ones looking for less adventurous activities). It’s a haven filled with fun for kids of all ages – so the adults can explore the island, knowing it will be all-smiles and new friends upon their return.

water sports

Our beachfront boathouse is your gateway to island adventure. Just steps from the shore, guests can snorkel above vibrant coral reefs, paddle board across calm turquoise waters, or kayak along the coastline at their own pace.

For younger explorers, kids’ fishing and coconut boat making add to the fun, while beach volleyball and football bring energy to the sand. With lifeguards on hand, the ocean becomes a safe and unforgettable playground for all ages.
