Here you will experience the true sense of the Banyan Tree’s signature blend of love, innovation and interesting sensuality in Seychellois style.
There are numerous pooled villas and each of them has its own taste and color. Firstly there is the beach front pool villa, it is the place to be as it is very close to the ocean and you can hear the beautiful sounds of the ocean. There is a garden that offers direct access to their fabulous beach. Then comes the Pool Villas by the Rocks.

Amazing spa facilities are also available at the resort which can dull you up to almost a drunken haze.

I clicked on this title because I had seen banyon trees in Florida and I was excited to see them again – they are so unique, as they grow downward towards the ground. I was just a little disappointed that there is no picture of the tree after which this resort is named, but I am assuming that anyone who visits this resort will have plenty of opportunity to marvel at them in person.
