Natural granite rocks create a dramatic entrance to the spa, luring guests into an instant island castaway atmosphere.

Restaurants and Bars

Sainte Anne Resort & Spa is a five-star resort which offers an optional all-inclusive package. Should guests select this option, all their meals and drinks will be included from the moment they arrive on the island until they leave*. This is an opportunity to sample a variety of delicious food and drinks!

At Sainte Anne, up to five restaurants are available, three of which are set right on the beach, treating guests to an unforgettable feet-in-the-sand experience. The resort also features a gastronomic restaurant and a spacious main restaurant that proposes a mix of eclectic cuisines.

L'Abondance

Open daily for all meals, L'Abondance is the hotel's main restaurant.

It is sheltered under a large expanse of tiled roof connecting onto a series of open-air terraces where guests can eat in the shade of large umbrellas.

Set facing the shimmering sea and surrounded by the pool and mirror-like ponds, the restaurant evokes a feeling of an islet within the island of Sainte Anne.

Water features which are central to the restaurant's design create different atmospheres as the day goes by, reflecting the changes of light.

In this relaxed setting, guests will enjoy delicious buffets with all they can dream of for breakfast and a different theme each evening.

L'Océane

Dotted on the beach opposite L'Abondance, thatched pavilions linked together by a stone walkway provide the casual setting for L'Océane restaurant.

This seasonal restaurant opens from June to October for lunch and dinner and promotes simplicity and authenticity.

As its name suggests, L'Océane specializes in fresh fish and seafood complemented by a few local dishes.

The restaurant is also popular for its fabulous lobster menu available with supplement.

Le Mont Fleuri

Known as one of the finest restaurants in the Seychelles, Le Mont Fleuri welcomes guests in an atmosphere of discreet luxury for a one-of-a-kind culinary experience.

One thing is for sure: the moment guests step across the restaurant's threshold, they are in for something truly special.

It is not only the food that makes dining at Le Mont Fleuri so unique.

Indeed, the restaurant's location at the top of a spectacular granite outcrop and its fabulous setting are simply beyond compare!

Perched on wooden stilts amidst age-old trees, Le Mont Fleuri towers over a secluded creek. Built entirely in wood, it evokes a private wooden chalet where guests dine at tree-top level while enjoying commanding views of the island and across the sea to Mahé.

Guests will love the restaurant's varied dishes which are mostly drawn from European cuisine.

Impeccable service complements the evening with each dish being announced with ceremonial flourish by professional waiters in formal attire.

But of course, no evening could be complete without the perfect wine pairing, unless guests choose to go for a glass of cold champagne.

Le Robinson

Open for dinner, Le Robinson is possibly the most charming beach restaurant in the Seychelles.

Its name alone conjures up dreams of desert islands that immerse guests in a unique atmosphere tinged with magic and romance.

Sheltered under the timber deck of Le Mont Fleuri, Le Robinson offers uninterrupted views of the ocean.

The setting sets the scene any shipwreck survivor could find on being washed ashore on a desert island. Set on a quiet cove hidden from view by spectacular granite rocks and tall takamaka trees, the restaurant evokes a secret pirates' lair. Rustic driftwood tables and chairs set on the soft sand are tucked against giant granite boulders and a small rustic lounge is set up next to each table for pre-dinner cocktails or to relax at the edge of the sea after dinner.

Guests will dine to the sound of the sea lapping onto the powdery beach.

The food style matches the setting as guests are invited to cook their food on a hot stone slab called pierrade as a true modern-day Robinson Crusoe would do!

Le Takamaka

Open for lunch from October to April, Le Takamaka restaurant consists of a beach bar and restaurant designed to accommodate 25 guests at a time.

It offers a view over small islets such as Moyenne Island, Round Island, Cerf Island and Long Island.

Located on the beach called Anse Tortues, it offers a charming setting where guests can sit with their toes in the sand, in the shade of a spreading centuries-old takamaka, an exotic tree which gave the restaurant its name.

From this viewpoint, some lucky guests may even be able to watch the sea turtles come on shore to lay their eggs at specific times of the year.

The menu is in keeping with the location's simple charms and features fresh salads, sandwiches and paninis.

Perfect for a casual sundowner in the afternoon, the bar serves a range of fresh juices blending seasonal fruits, flavoured iced tea as well as a range of tropical cocktails, tea, coffee and soft drinks.

Le Sans Souci Bar

Tropical cocktails and flavoured rum are some of the many treats that await guests in a convivial atmosphere.
