Niva Labriz, the only resort located on the Seychelles’ virtually untouched Silhouette Island, is set to begin its next chapter under Universal Resort Management, soon to transition to Versa Hospitality.
Whether seeking adventure, a deeper connection with nature or rest and rejuvenation, guests at Niva Labriz are encouraged to move at their own pace, with the staff adapting to each individual guest's needs and providing instinctive, personalised service.
With enhancements already underway, now is the perfect time for your clients to rediscover Niva Labriz. Read on to find out exactly what they can expect from this unhurried, enchanting island escape.
Villas for every client
Due to its remote island location, Niva Labriz is only accessible via a 45-minute boat ride from Mahe. For a truly unforgettable experience, your clients can alternatively take a 15-minute helicopter transfer, with spellbinding views of the rainforest-clad island and glistening Indian Ocean waters below.
Upon arrival, guests will quickly understand why nature is at the heart of Niva Labriz. Its 110 spacious villas are sprawled along white-sand coastlines and beneath jungle canopies, with the resort's accommodation largely made up of ocean and garden villas – many featuring bathtubs, open-air space and outdoor rain showers.
Further accommodation options include bungalows with private plunge pools or larger pools, plus several two-bedroom villas for families or close-knit groups. For your high-end clientele, the resort’s exclusive Labriz Retreat offers expansive living space, a private entrance, direct beach access and an infinity pool, along with luxury service including private boat arrival and a dedicated butler.
Island activities
Activities and experiences offered at Niva Labriz provide guests with so many ways to enjoy the island, with something to suit all ages and abilities.
Your adventurous clientele can take part in diving lessons or snorkelling sessions, discovering coral reefs teeming with marine life – from reef sharks to turtles – while those who’d prefer more laid-back, ocean-bound excursions can join boat trips, sunset cruises and non-motorised watersports, such as paddleboarding or kayaking.
Back on dry land, active travellers can explore the island through guided jungle hikes and bike rides, or stay within the resort and enjoy a friendly game of tennis or padel. Younger guests are well catered for with a range of children’s activities, mini golf and a games room, while mature travellers may enjoy visits to the island’s organic gardens and heritage museum.
Wellbeing is also one of the resort’s top selling points, with its jungle spa offering a tranquil setting with a freshwater plunge pool, outdoor whirlpool, steam room and sauna, alongside a range of rejuvenating treatments. Guests can also take part in expert-led beach yoga sessions for a true sense of zen.
Dine around
With eight restaurants available, Niva Labriz offers a wide variety of dining experiences to suit different tastes.
Guests can enjoy Creole flavours in a restored plantation house, fresh seafood prepared in Japanese teppanyaki style or Mediterranean-inspired dishes served poolside. They can also head down to the beach for craft cocktails – an even more magical setting when daylight fades and the stars come out.
All-inclusive guests can enjoy daily breakfast at the main restaurant, daily lunch at Brasserie Dauban, and daily buffet dinner at Brasserie Dauban or a three-course a la carte dinner at a choice of three restaurants (Grann Kaz, Sakura or Portobello). A great selection of complimentary drinks – such as local beer, house wines and curated cocktails – are also included in the package, along with complimentary early check-in and late check-out, subject to availability.
