Villa Le Corail, part of the Gran Meliá portfolio, offers families an exclusive retreat on the island of St. Anne in the Seychelles. Combining the privacy of a villa with the amenities of a five-star resort, it provides a model for contemporary family luxury that emphasises space, comfort and cultural connection.

The villa is designed with a focus on light and flow. Expansive living areas open onto terraces with private pools, gardens and panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Interiors use natural timbers, stone and locally inspired artworks, creating a balance of sophistication and island ease. Bedrooms and bathrooms are generous, ensuring privacy for parents and space for children.

Cuisine is a highlight of the Gran Meliá brand. Families can dine privately with in-villa chefs or enjoy the resort’s restaurants, which celebrate both Mediterranean and Seychellois flavours. Fresh seafood, tropical fruit and locally grown produce anchor menus that are tailored for adults and children alike.

Experiences extend from the villa to the surrounding island. Families can explore marine life through guided snorkelling, kayaking or glass-bottom boat tours, while land activities include cycling, cultural excursions and nature walks. A dedicated kids’ club provides creative programs for younger guests, allowing parents time for wellness treatments or relaxation.

Service is defined by Gran Meliá’s hallmark of warmth and precision. Butler service ensures that every detail, from meal planning to activity coordination, is seamlessly handled. The emphasis is on personalisation, ensuring that each family feels both cared for and free to explore at their own pace.
Villa Le Corail offers families the best of both worlds: seclusion and connection, privacy and shared experience — a microcosm of luxury living within one of the world’s most beautiful island destinations.
