Monthly Management Corporation levy is only US$1 per square metre.
North Block Residences
The North Block residences offer unrestricted personal usage and are therefore not be included in the Meliá Seychelles hotel rental pool.

The monthly levy in the North Block is estimated to be around US$5 per square metre.
These beautifully designed apartments (ranging between one-bedroom apartments of around 58.0 sqm internal + 14.0 sqm covered terrace to three-bedroom penthouses of around 168.3 sqm internal + 45.7 sqm covered terrace) are perfectly positioned to offer spectacular views of the marina and waterways, nearby islands and the ocean beyond, surrounding residents in a mesmerising blend of oceanic grandeur and picturesque Seychellois charm. The layout of each property delivers spaces, inside and out, that complement the surrounding nature, the waterfront position and island’s climate.
Strongly influenced by Creole vernacular, the architects dhk have created a contemporary Seychelles style for the buildings, complemented by expansive covered roofs, verandas and walkways, creating an elegant aesthetic, whilst extending the site towards the sea to provide an elevated position over the waterfront, immersing owners and residents in the estate’s unique location.
Interiors have been conceived to seamlessly integrate the indoor/outdoor living experiences, providing light and generous spaces, combined with high-end finishes and functionality; an outcome that distinguishes the apartments and makes them attractive for rental.
Owning a property within this estate provides access to a coveted lifestyle, an attractive return on investment and an abundance of benefits in the Seychelles and beyond. The Residences at Meliá Seychelles are sold on freehold title with an integrated rental scheme that offers so much more, including periods each year for personal use by owners.

Read full detailsThe Seychelles
The Seychelles has 115 islands spread over 788 square miles of the Indian Ocean, four degrees south of the equator and 950 miles north of Mauritius. Only 30 are inhabited, some are coral islands, some volcanic and many designated as natural reserves, a heady mix of raw beauty and exclusivity.
The Seychelles is a delightful combination of African, European and Asian roots with an intriguing history. The country gained independence from Great Britain in 1976 and remains part of the Commonwealth. English and French are both official languages with Creole widely spoken.
The joy of the Seychelles is the variety within the archipelago. Highlights include the island of Praslin fifteen minutes away by plane where the rare coco de mer palm grows in the World Heritage Vallée de Mai and the car-free island of La Digue, home to giant tortoises, colonial-style homes and deserted beaches. Felicite is a tiny granite island covering a little over one square mile. It is a near neighbour to La Digue and famed for its mystical, oversized granite boulders. Dense vegetation including mango trees, coconut palms and banana plantations cover much of Felicite where development has been carefully restricted to preserve the outstanding private island privacy.
Mahé
The island of Mahé is the largest and easily the most developed of all islands. It has the international airport and the world’s smallest capital, Victoria, complete with a replica of London’s Big Ben. The island is 17 miles long by 8 miles at its widest with 70 beaches Mahé is where the majority of the 90,000 population live, mostly in Victoria or on the east coast.
From the high peaks of Morne Seychellois in the northeast to the blissfully natural west coast beaches, Mahé provides activities from snorkelling, diving and jungle walks. The quiet and wilder west coast is only thirty minutes from the airport with dense forests of coconuts and particularly beautiful beaches including Petite Anse and Grande Anse.
Weather:
The islands of the Seychelles enjoy a year-round warm tropical climate, generally governed by two opposing trade winds. The south-easterly trades blow from May to September bringing drier and windier conditions ideal for sailing. From October to March the gentler north-west trades provide calmer seas but a higher chance of refreshing showers.
