5-star Surf & Diving Resort in Seychelles

Located on the south end of Mahé in Baie Lazare, the Kempinski Seychelles Resort is an indulgent retreat offering a huge variety of facilities and activities, perfect for romantic couples trips or family getaways.

Described as “the original Garden of Eden”, the Seychelles archipelago is a leading luxury destination. Located 1000 miles off the east coast of Africa, the islands are famous for their unspoiled beaches, breathtaking tropical forests, and perfectly peeling empty waves.

The Resort

The Kempinski Seychelles Resort is perfectly situated just 30 minutes from the international airport. Located on the southwest coast of Mahé, the resort sits on an 800 m stretch of remarkably beautiful beach. As it is the only resort in the bay, the guests are able to relax and enjoy their time on the beach in relative seclusion. Sun loungers are discreetly positioned between palm trees along the length of the beach, creating a remarkable sense of privacy.

The in-house reef of Baie Lazare is the perfect place to enjoy great sightings of turtles, reef sharks, eagle rays, and even whale sharks.

Despite being positioned on a beautifully landscaped 64-hectare property, the resort has been laid out in such a way that guests are never very far away from the water. The Olympic-length swimming pool has convenient direct access to the beach area.

Waves at Kempinski Seychelles Resort

Seychelles offer fun and rippable waves in pristine conditions almost all year round. Empty line-ups in sublime tropical surroundings offer surfers the opportunity to enjoy a unique Indian Ocean paradise scenario.

With internationally qualified coaches and guides, the resort surf school, iSurf Seychelles, utilizes the best of local knowledge and international experience to offer unforgettable surfing experiences. Catering to all skill levels from first-timers to experienced surfers, iSurf guarantees safety, transport and top-of-the-line equipment to help you explore the waves of Seychelles.

For experienced surfers, the best time to visit Seychelles is from June to August, when the south-east trade winds drive stronger, more consistent swell to the south of Mahé. However, with recommendations and advice from iSurf’s experienced guides, beginner to intermediate surfers will be able to find optimal surf conditions all year round.

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!

Awave Travel is the best surf travel agency I have ever booked! They are very professional and responsive to my inquiries and are able to match me with a surf trip appropriate to my interests and skill level. They have an outstanding relationship and reputation with the resorts that they work with, which makes a difference in the consumer experience. Above all, the Awave staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas they recommend, as they have actually surfed the spots and stayed at the resorts. For anyone who wants a hassle-free, no worries, relaxing and fun surf adventure, Awave Travel is the way to go!

We spent amazing days in Morocco in Amouage. Was an amazing stay and the full surf package offered by AWAVE was great.
All the people were very nice and coaches were amazing. Booking was very smooth, answered all my questions and they took care of everything.
I took the coaching package and had a great time and learning. The teacher was great, very patient and explained everything very nice and calm. Felt safe all the time and had a lot of fun as well.
My boyfriend had the guiding package and he also had a great time. He was always taken to the spots that fitted his level and enjoyed the full when conditions were nice.

We stayed at Ayada in Maldives and I can't be more complimentary of AWAVE! Awesome and patient advise over whatsapp on which resort to go to with extremely details local knowledge on surf conditions, wave spots, resort quality, which atolls to go to, etc. I followed their recommendation and it was spot on. Easy booking on short notice before the trip, can't thank James enough!

Our remarkable trip was 12 months in the planning.it was awkward to organize because there was so many people coming and going over our two week chartered cruise.
I can’t speak highly enough of AWAVE and more to the point ,the wonderful Giulia Manfrini. She is so caring and sweet and far above and beyond any travel consultant that I have ever worked with
Thankyou Giulia for all your prompt answers to my gazillion questions
You are “Simply the best”.
Now onto the Carpe Diem
The trip of a lifetime was had by all 20 of us
The Captain and crew worked tirelessly to pander to our every whim
They would not allow us to lift a finger
Our Barmen Shawn and Cook ( still can’t pronounce his name ) were superb, the food was first class and varied and the alcohol flowed like a river
Our Surf guide “Seppe” found waves for us every day except for two while we travelled deep into the central Attols
We were greatful for the rest
We snorkeled with the sharks and visited uninhabited Islands spent an afternoon being spoiled at a high class resort .
All in all an Awsome trip

James helped us organize our trip in April for my partner and I in the Mentawai.
First, lets discuss the service : James was super clear and reactive. We received a list of resorts with different price ranges and he provided all the elements for us to decide based on our needs and budget. We felt very supported for the organization and we even received so advices few days before leaving for packing.
I was a bit afraid as i'm not a good surfer so i reach out many times to understand how I could still try and learn and James always replied very quick and with all the info i need.
Then when we arrive : it was super well organized, everything went smooth and we fell in love with the place and people. We can tell they really worked on their resort selection and travel organization and we trust our next adventure will be as qualitative.
Already recommended their service ;).
