Labriz Silhouette Seychelles

Labriz Silhouette Seychelles

The boat pulls up at the seaport and for 210 EUR each way, that's the only route in, a transfer that already tells you Labriz is not somewhere you stumble on. Silhouette Island holds the resort a short walk from its own stretch of beach, and the 110 rooms, built in 2006 and run under the Hilton name, sit low, with no floors stacked on top of each other. This suits a couple who wants water sport facilities and a diving club rather than a lobby full of other guests, and families who can hand children to the kids club or playroom and then disappear into the sauna, steam room or spa without a second thought. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to a town for dinner or leave on a whim; the island decides your schedule, not you. What sets it apart from most five-star Seychelles resorts is the chapel on site, an amenity that turns Labriz into a wedding base as much as a holiday one, alongside a library, picnic areas and a barbecue spot that keep things unhurried. The 2 Bedroom Oasis Family Villa runs to 4,080 square feet with its own patio and bathroom, room enough for a family to spread out rather than share. Staff speak English, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and French, useful given how far this sits from anywhere. Pets are not allowed, sport is well covered with a gym, fitness centre, table tennis and tennis court, and by the time the return boat is booked, most guests already know they will be doing this again. Reached only by boat, Labriz on Silhouette Island pairs a private beach and diving club with an on-site chapel, rare for a Seychelles resort. Built in 2006 under Hilton, it suits families and couples happy to let the island set the pace.
