Seychelles - Just about everyone!
The beautiful Indian Ocean islands of the Seychelles has many a hotel group knocking on its door. First up is Shangri-La Hotels which has leased Long Island and is planning a resort sometime in 2008. A funicular – both a first for Shangri-La and the Seychelles – will transport guests to the CHI spa poised on the island’s central hilltop. Beachcomber Hotels has started work on its second Seychelles resort, a 130 suite beachfront property on Praslin due to be completed by December 2008. Four Seasons aims to open a resort on a peerless stretch of beach called Petit Anse in South Mahe in 2009. Emirates Hotels & Resorts has also unveiled a new resort in Mahe to open in 2010 with a section for families, budget-conscious travellers and deluxe rooms designed as semi-detached, cottage-style complexes. Raffles Resort and Residences is scheduled to open on Praslin in 2011. However, watch this space as planning laws decree that no further new hotels will be built on the islands. Many hotel chains including Fairmont are therefore casting a covetous eye at renovation project opportunities.
