Enchanted Island Resort, the first international property managed by UAE-based hospitality group JA Resorts & Hotels, is hosting its inaugural event.

Home to ten boutique style villas, the island paradise opened in January 2014 within one of the Indian Ocean archipelago’s protected National Marine Parks.

Located just a 15-minute motorboat ride to the main island of Mahé, the resort is spread over five acres with the villas designed to reflect the island’s traditional Creole-Seychellois architecture, just steps away from white sand beaches.

Each villa has a private infinity pool, outdoor deck, gazebo, rain shower, French bathtub, king-size bed, complimentary Wi-Fi, a dedicated 24/7 butler service and more besides.

The resort has been created around the original environment of the island, making each villa merge and flow with the natural landscape. 

The inaugural event on Friday will play host to several dignitaries and leaders of industry and will surely be one to remember with the attendance of

Alain St Ange, minister for tourism and culture, Republic of Seychelles, Sunil Shah of Trinity Estates and owner of the island, David Thomson, chief operating officer of JA Resorts & Hotels and Lilli Fiirgaard, general manager of Enchanted Island Resort are all expected at the event.
