General Comments
Banyantree, Seychelles is the epitomy of luxury for those who can afford it.
A beautiful multi million dollar private resort, it consists of a few beautiful creole style villas, which have their own massage parlours, pools, staff, chefs and beautiful interiors. If that wasn't enough, the resort owns a whole cove, so the few high brow clients can stroll along the beach alone.
The Seychelles itself remains untouched by tourism. An unspoilt gem in the world, although in my recent visits, German tourists have been increasing. Still, the secluded Seychelles remains the lap of luxury, no high rise buildings, only beautiful tropaz oceans, deserted beaches, and friendly locals. A true "Sanctuary for the senses" and Banyantree is the cream of the luxury crop in the high class resort market. Banyantree even outshines award winning Beachcomber (based on a nearby island). I would recommend anyone to go here... but luxury comes at a price.
