laïla exists to be the antidote to resorts that close themselves off from their surroundings. Our expeditions blur the boundaries between hotel and village, visitor and local, by offering the chance for unforgettable exploration. It is a true immersion in the activities, environments and people who make the Seychelles such an exceptional place.

Designed by MMAC-Design in Dubai, laïla resort features a harmonious and calming colour palette complemented by bold green tones - a tribute to the tropical surroundings. With carefully selected interior décor, guests can look forward to thoughtful details throughout the resort, such as the lobby ceiling, which reflects the shapes of the Seychelles' many islands.

Anse Royale, the King’s Bay, is framed by a crescent-shaped, reef-locked bay famous for its crystalline waters, the perfect location to watch the moonrise. Steeped in history since the French established a spice garden in 1770, the town of Anse Royal has become a vibrant community with restaurants, a hospital, a church, and a charming local market.

This stretch of small, rocky coves along the Anse Royale coast in southeast Mahé, stretching from an area known as Fairyland down to the Anglican Church of Anse Royale, is a beautiful place for swimming and Snorkeling. The best snorkelling areas are around the rocks of Fairyland and extend to the small island just off the coast, where there are countless coral fish in bright colours to marvel at.

Mahe International Airport: 10 km

Masterfully configured to accord with the latest trends in hospitality ergonomics, 84 comfortable and well-appointed rooms and suites offer stunning views of the village, ocean or surrounding mountains. Each room is decorated with a nature-inspired aesthetic, including murals of native Seychelles plant silhouettes, hand-woven macrame headboards on the beds, and room dividers made of wood and rattan - natural materials commonly used in the island's traditional architecture.
