Seychelles: Labriz Silhouette Seychelles *****

Approached from a distance, Silhouette Island is a striking sight - lush, emerald green tropical forest is a prominent feature of the island, coupled with an imposing mountain whose peak tips in to a crown of clouded glory. Such an island deserves a truly exceptional resort.

Labriz is Seychellois Creole word derived from the French phrase "la brise" or "the breeze". In Creole, the word evokes the soft gust of wind that gently glides a ship along the ocean on a calm day or cools the skin in the tropical warmth of the Seychelles. Labriz is placed along a 2 km stretch of powder soft beach and brings together the two elements of "fly and flop" relaxation including a first class spa, fine dining and beautiful beaches, with exciting activities, apart from the usual water sports, will also offer the opportunity to be at one with nature.

Adventurous trekking takes guests through the tropical jungle, which forms the island's natural backdrop and along the islands spice trail. Labriz promises to be a vibrant and fresh encounter for guests with an urge for the spectacular.
