in 2006 the inmates were transferred to Montagne Posée Prison on the island of Mahe, to do construction work on the new land reclamation projects.

The hotel features Seychelles’ first funicular – a cable car system – to take guests to its CHI spa facilities and wedding chapel, positioned on the island’s central hilltop.

The island is also visited for its wide variety of underwater creatures like fish, sharks and rays.

The reefs and lagoons of the island offer a large amount of flora and fauna.

Green sea turtles live on the very edges of the coral reefs, and they sometimes venture closer to the island.
