On October 1, 2026, La Réserve opened its first address in the Indian Ocean: six private villas on the north-east coast of Praslin. They sit between tropical garden and a white-sand beach, looking out at the Curieuse Island marine park (Luxvisor). The idea is simple: nature, a private chef, and no screens.
Is La Réserve Seychelles right for a wellness trip?
Quick answer
It depends on what wellness means to you. If you want classes and a spa menu, no: there is no classic spa, by design. If you want nature-led days, maybe yes. Five days a week there is a brisk walk or stretch, three times at sunrise and twice in the late afternoon, followed by fresh fruit and vitamin shots at the beach bar (Luxvisor). Yoga is not listed on the resort's page as of October 26, 2026.
What are the villas like?
There are six villas, each 695 to 880 square metres indoors and out. Every one has a pool, a veranda terrace, a flowering garden and access to the beach, and they sleep 6 to 12 (La Réserve). The roofs are thatched with latanier palm, with woven textures and local pink granite. There is no TV (one on request) and no central restaurant (Luxvisor).
There are six villas, each 695 to 880 square metres indoors and out.
Is the food high vibe?
Fresh and local, yes. Organic, not stated. High vibe food: each villa has its own chef, who plans the menus every day from fresh produce, the local catch, the morning market and herbs from the garden. Guests can also join the chef at the local market in the morning (Luxvisor). With a private chef, a gluten-, dairy- and egg-free menu is an easy ask, and a High Vibe Vacay advisor can send your needs ahead.
