Escape to Niva Labriz Seychelles, where rainforest meets the Indian Ocean

20 July 2026

If you've ever dreamed of escaping to a tropical island where nature takes centre stage, Niva Labriz Seychelles is exactly that kind of place. Set on the untouched shores of Silhouette Island, a protected national park just off Mahé, it's the only 5-star resort on the island. Reached by a scenic 45-minute boat journey or a short helicopter flight, Niva Labriz feels wonderfully secluded, surrounded by lush rainforest, towering granite peaks, and a spectacular stretch of white sand overlooking the Indian Ocean.

A villa to suit every style of stay

Whether you're travelling as a couple, a family, or celebrating a special occasion, Niva Labriz offers a wide variety of spacious villas designed to make the most of their natural surroundings.

Beach Villas sit just steps from the sand, allowing you to walk straight from your terrace onto the beach, while Garden Villas are tucked amongst tropical greenery for extra privacy. If you're looking for something even more indulgent, Beach Sanctuary Pool Villas and Jungle Sanctuary Pool Villas offer generous living space, private pools, and peaceful outdoor areas where you can truly switch off.

Families are equally well catered for, with spacious two-bedroom villas and the impressive Two-Bedroom Labriz Retreat, offering exceptional space, private pools, butler service, and sweeping views across the Indian Ocean.

Discover the island beyond the beach

Although it's tempting to spend every day relaxing by the sea, Silhouette Island truly rewards those who venture a little further. Surrounded by a protected national park, the island is home to a network of guided walking trails that weave through tropical forest, leading to viewpoints, hidden beaches, and unique wildlife. It's a completely different side of the Seychelles, where giant tortoises, native plants, and dramatic mountain scenery create an unforgettable backdrop.

Back on the water, guests can snorkel amongst colourful marine life, enjoy diving excursions, take sunset cruises, try non-motorised water sports, or even join a Creole cooking class to learn more about the islands' rich culture. There's also tennis, padel, mini golf, and organic garden visits, making it easy to fill your days with as much, or as little, as you choose.

Dining inspired by the Seychelles

There are seven restaurants and bars offering a variety of cuisines and settings. Enjoy authentic Creole flavours at Grann Kaz, housed within the beautifully restored Dauban family home, or watch chefs prepare Asian-inspired dishes in the open kitchen at Sakura. Italian favourites are served overlooking Mount Dauban at Portobello, while 4 Degrees offers relaxed beachfront dining with freshly caught seafood and creative cocktails just steps from the ocean.

Guests staying on the resort's all-inclusive package can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner across a selection of restaurants, alongside house drinks and curated cocktails, making it easy to sample the resort's varied dining throughout your stay.

Time to relax, reconnect, and recharge

The slower pace of island life extends into LIME Wellbeing, the resort's tranquil spa hidden amongst the tropical forest.

Here you'll find treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room, yoga sessions, an outdoor whirlpool, and peaceful relaxation spaces that perfectly complement the natural surroundings. Whether you're unwinding after a day exploring the island or simply taking time for yourself, it's the perfect place to embrace the calm atmosphere that defines Niva Labriz.
