Beachcomber Hotels’ Sainte Anne private island resort in the Seychelles has closed for extensive refurbishment work, which will include a large overhaul of the spa facilities.

The Spa by Clarins will be extended, with the resort’s sports activities being moved to allow space for a new entrance and reception.

The relaxation area of the spa and the plunge pool will also be extended into the tropical gardens while the internal layout of the spa will be reconfigured.

Six new treatment rooms will be added, including two double rooms and an area dedicated to ayurvedic treatments. A yoga pavilion will also be built. In total, the revamped spa will have nine treatment rooms, a Clarins Beauty Parlour, two hammams and a sauna. Details: beachcomber-hotels.com
