The French group Club Med is going to manage Ste Anne beachcomber resort owned by New Mauricius Hotel.
The resort, which opened in 2001 is 10 minutes away from the main island of Mahe. The resort has 87 private villas, set on a 220-hectare private island, surrounded by one of the Seychelles’ marine parks. The resort has been closed since September and it will reopen its doors with 295 rooms and with job opportunities for 500 people.
The new development plans for the resort will cost $82.4million in order to refurbish and extend the resort as per Med Club’s 5-star standards and requirements. It will start next year and it will finish at the end of 2019.
Jean Louis Pismont, the New Mauritius Hotels group operations manager, said, “this new initiative of our group is yet another testimony of our continued and flawless belief in the Seychelles tourism industry.”
“We are proud to be linked with the arrival of the first major French hotel group to Seychelles. Club Med is a reputable and worldwide hotel brand which will definitely contribute to increasing visibility of Seychelles,” adds Pismont.
The New Mauritius Hotels owns all the shares of Ste Anne Resort Ltd. Once the development plans are done, the resort will be rented to Club Med for an initial term of 12 years.
