VICTORIA, Seychelles — Minor Hotels, a global hospitality group that owns and operates over 560 hotels in 58 countries across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, the Indian Ocean, Europe and the Americas, has announced the upcoming relaunch of Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles. Set to reopen on June 16, 2025, the reimagined resort marks the next chapter for one of Seychelles’ most notable beachfront escapes.
The property, situated on the west coast of Mahé Island, just 30 minutes from Seychelles International Airport, is set against lush tropical gardens and offers direct access to pristine white-sand beaches. Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles will reopen with 192 fully refurbished guest rooms and suites, including brand-new Lagoon Access Rooms that bring guests even closer to the resort’s expanded lagoon-style pool. The relaunch will also introduce a vibrant dining scene that celebrates island culture and coastal flavours.
Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International, said the relaunch would reposition the property as a standout lifestyle destination. “With enhanced facilities including innovative new room types and refreshed dining and wellness offerings, we’re confident the relaunch will add tremendous value to the Avani portfolio and resonate strongly with both new and returning guests.” The resort’s three flexible meeting spaces, oceanfront location, and curated experiences make it an ideal setting for destination weddings, incentive travel, and executive retreats.
