Canopy by Hilton Seychelles Resort brings family island living to Mahé

Located on the shoreline of Anse La Mouche, Canopy by Hilton Seychelles Resort, is placing family travel at the centre of its island experience, with serviced residences, direct beach access, three swimming pools, Bounty Seekers Kids Club and a programme of activities designed for all ages. An ideal option for the UK summer school holidays, particularly for families looking to escape the peak European heat, a stay during these months coincides with the region's cooler, drier season between July and October. The resort establishes itself as a southwest coast base for multi-generational travel and extended island escapes.

While the resort features 120 contemporary guest rooms and suites, a key draw for families is the collection of 29 serviced Canopy Residences. Ranging from one to three bedrooms, these layouts are designed for extended stays and families seeking apartment-style comfort with full resort privileges. Each residence features bright, island-inspired interiors, spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens, large balconies, and washer-dryer amenities. For families seeking additional space and flexibility, selected categories feature their own private plunge pools. This residential layout allows families to set their own rhythm, whether preparing an early children's meal in-suite or settling in after a day exploring the local area.

Family dining at Canopy by Hilton Seychelles Resort

At Canopy by Hilton Seychelles Resort, the shoreline acts as an open-air playground where families can enjoy beach time and water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkelling along the calm waters of Anse La Mouche. Beyond the bay, the resort functions as a launchpad for broader exploration, with family-friendly excursions to Victoria and St. Anne Marine National Park, alongside a complimentary scheduled shuttle to sister property Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts. On site, the Bounty Seekers Kids Club welcomes children and teens with screen-free outdoor workshops, creative activities and island-inspired activities, allowing parents time to unwind at Afloya Spa, where restorative treatments and thermal experiences draw inspiration from the five traditional Chinese elements.

The resort's three distinct dining venues ensure family meals are both effortless and engaging. Avocet serves as the main restaurant, delivering a fusion of French flair and Creole flavours from breakfast through to dinner, alongside weekly local beer or rum tastings and cocktail masterclasses. Nearby, Sega Bar provides a relaxed, poolside setting inspired by the rhythm of the traditional Seychellois Sega dance, pairing Tiki-inspired drinks with a casual lunch menu featuring local ingredients from neighbouring farms. For a change of pace, Tiger Bite introduces a street-food-led concept focused on Southeast Asian flavours, with a lively menu of steamed bao, dumplings, curries, noodles and flame-grilled skewers.

By pairing the ease of independent residential living with beachfront exploration, dedicated children's programming and restorative wellness spaces, Canopy by Hilton Seychelles Resort offers a fresh take on multi-generational travel. Here, every generation can find its own rhythm through a connected, neighbourhood-led experience that feels both relaxed and authentically rooted in South Mahé.
