Dubai-based Albwardy Investment already owns the existing Four Seasons property in Seychelles and has now taken on the brand to manage 51-key Desroches, which is the only hotel on the tropical island.
Albwardy also owns several Four Seasons-managed hotels - namely in the Serengeti, Johannesburg and Buenos Aires - as well as many hotels under other brands across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Desroches will now undergo “extensive renovations” and re-open in 2017 as Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island.
“This is an exciting opportunity to extend our presence in the Seychelles and build on our successful partnership with Albwardy Investment,” said J. Allen Smith, president and chief executive of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “We look forward to deepening our commitment to this important destination with the addition of a second property.”
