Kempinski celebrates its first Seychelles property

Kempinski celebrated the launch of its first property in the Seychelles with a grand opening event on Mahé with VIPs, international performers and fireworks.

Guests included minsters and dignitaries from the Seychelles and neighbouring countries, leaders in the travel industry as well as guests of the resort.

The CEO of Kempinski Hotels, Reto Wittwer, and Kempinski president of Middle East, Africa & Indian Ocean, Ulrich Eckhardt were also in attendance for the grand opening last weekend.

Commenting on the opening, general manager Pierre Stacher said the evening was a celebration of Kempinski’s debut in the Indian Ocean region and that Baie Lazare in the Seychelles was "the perfect setting for this stunning property”.

“This resort combines the rich natural beauty of the Seychelles with Kempinski’s signature European luxury. In the spirit of Carnival, a melting pot of cultures, we are delighted to have hosted so many people from around the world to help us commemorate this special occasion,” he added.

The five-star resort comprises 150 rooms and suites and features a lagoon in its gardens.

The property also features two restaurants and two bars, a 200-seat ballroom, spa, and fitness and water sports centre.
