Seychelles Labriz Resort and Spa

Mark Oberholzer

Our stay at the Hilton on Silhouette Island was nothing short of magical. Accessible only by the hotel’s private boat shuttle (or by helicopter if you prefer), the journey itself sets the tone for the secluded and serene experience that awaits. The resort is nestled in lush, untouched nature and sits directly on one of the most breathtaking beaches we’ve ever seen. What really stood out is how peaceful and uncrowded the entire island feels – it’s the perfect destination to unwind, disconnect, and recharge. For families, this place is a dream. The kids’ club is outstanding – truly one of the best we’ve come across. It’s well-organized, creative, and gives parents a real chance to relax while the children are happily entertained. If your budget allows, we highly recommend booking a beachfront villa. Waking up to the gentle sound of waves and stepping outside to that stunning turquoise view is an experience that takes your stay to the next level. It’s worth every cent. Whether you're traveling as a couple or with children, this resort is a hidden gem. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

Absolutely gorgeous beach and forest. You basically pay for the views as the hotel’s facilities are a bit dated. Staff are all friendly and attentive but practically all activities are charged extra. Breakfast is repetitive. Good for a stopover during island hopping but staying do more than 4/5 days will probably bore you.

The best resort I've ever had the pleasure of staying in (and I've been fortunate to travel all over the world). The location is spectacular. The staff are fantastic. Special mentions to Muthoni, Nisanth and Boniface. Also the legend that does the omelettes for breakfast needs a pay rise (I cant remember his name!). The nice man who looks after the tortoises is also brilliant. The food is mostly excellent. Some of it is average but that is the exception. Portions in Sakura are far too large. Four Degrees is the best. This resort is exceedingly expensive, however. Expect to pay £2500+ a week for an average couple just on food and drink. The cost of the ferry is not justifiable and management must know they are exploiting people. Finally, the diving was very good. Sadly, the dive centre leaves a lot to be desired. The staff are largely very unfriendly. There is a lovely South African lady and younger German man but sadly the rest are uninterested. The diving is very expensive and the service received does not match the money paid. The dives felt rushed and there was a lack of emphasis on the environment and marine life. Room for improvement but not a lost cause as we still had a great time. Please stay here if you ever get the chance but don't be stung by the final bill. To have a good two weeks as a couple, do some activities and not worry about how much you eat or drink, expect to pay £10,000 all in. The service charge and tax added on drives the cost up considerably. Thank you Hilton, please look after your staff as they are phenomenal, but most importantly keep up your stewardship of what is one of the most paradisial islands on the planet.

My spouse and I recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at this beautiful resort. The entire stay was a truly memorable experience worth leaving a few comments as review. To begin with, this isn't just a hotel - it’s a not too big group of villas, nestled on an island that is like a paradise. Throughout our stay, we genuinely felt welcomed and everything was handled very smoothly. We were especially happy about the efforts for environment. We saw zero single-use plastic bottles during our entire stay. Drinking water was provided exclusively in reusable, sterilised glass bottles, and drinking water was easily available in resort. We were also enjoying the dedication and warmth of the staff. We wanted to specifically recognize a few individuals who ensured our celebration was not just special, but genuinely unforgettable. Starting with Saiful, who took such impeccable care of our villa. His diligence and attention to detail ensured that our private space felt fresh every day. Our hike to lovely Anse Mondon was guided by Eli. His expertise and helpfulness during our hiking trip were invaluable, making our excursion both safe and wonderfully enriching. He helped us explore the stunning natural beauty around the resort with confidence and ease. And finally, we want to give our praise to Charles and Naveen among others in the restaurants of the resort. They were the heart of our dining experience. Their exceptional service, attentive presence, and genuinely charming hospitality elevated every meal, turning our anniversary dinners into truly joyful and memorable events. They went above and beyond to make our celebration feel personal and delightful. Only minor point of constructive feedback concerns the Papaya Lounge. We were looking forward to the promised daily selection of fresh baked sweets, but the counter was sadly unstocked and empty during our entire stay. It's a small detail, but ensuring this advertised amenity is consistently available would elevate the experience for guests that are leaving the resort, and that being one of the last moments to experience the hospitality of the lovely place. All in all, thanks to the combined efforts of Eli, Saiful, Charles and Naveen, our 25th anniversary celebrations was everything we could have dreamed of and more. If you are seeking a truly lovely escape that allows you to fully relax and enjoy the wonders of nature, we highly recommend.

Okay so here is everything I wish knew before going and how to make the most of your money if you want to go to paradise but are not loaded. Get ready for some hot tipssss 1. Get the beach front villa. Just do it. Close your eyes and hit pay. It will be the best 100 euros you will ever spend. Waking up, opening your eyes and from bed seeing the ocean and white sand totally makes the experience. The beach is beautiful and perfect for swimming. We didn't go to the pool once, because the beach is that nice. Soft sand, transparent water and even fishes for snorkeling, all two steps from your comfy villa with a nice living room, terrace and amazing bathroom. Trust me, it doesnt make sense not to book it. Okay now here are all the ways in which you make back the extra money you spent on the room: 1. Don't get the meal plans. It's too expensive. Instead bring your own snacks. You have a kettle and a fridge in your room. Use it! We brought cup nooddles, bread, cheese, cookies etc. You also have a coffee machine in your room and you get coffee capsules for it. 2. Breakfast is probably the best spread I have ever seen. They have freshly pressed juices, all the breakfast foods you can imagine, including fresh fruits, plant based and gluten free options and even curries. With the breakfast plus your snacks you can totally make it till dinner without spending any extra money. 3. For dinner you have two options: get food in one of the restaurants, around 400 rupees for a main dish, or walk to the take out in the guest house outside the hotel and get a takeaway for 100 rupees. We had dinner at the restaurants. The portions are decently sized. You will definitely be full with just a main dish. You get free sparkling or normal water in all the restaurants, so just budget for a main and the tip and you'll be fine. The food is tasty, probably the best we had while in the Seychelles (which is not saying much as the food in the islands is not the best, but here it's good). 4. Buy your own snorkeling mask before coming to the Seychelles. They are expensive here. And it's totally worth the hassle carrying them as you can use them in many places 5. There's free water by the pool and spa and you get two free bottles in your room every day. So no need to spend money on drinks 6. The spa has a jacuzzi, wet and dry sauna and a cold pool you can use for free. It's very nice, specially on rainy days. 7. You can get bikes for free every day from 7am. But the hotel is not so big that they are worth the hassle of having to return them before 6pm. I wish they would just assign every room two bikes. Would make more sense. 8. The one thing that is ridiculously overpriced and there's no way around it is the ferry transfer. If you find a way to get around paying it, let me know :). It's basically a hidden fee. 9. If you want to see some of the island's interior, there are hikes you can do. But they are actually very tough, the heat and humidity makes hiking up the mountain exhausting. Plus the weather is unpredictable so it can rain anytime, in which case paths get very slippery and your progress becomes slow. We had to turn around on our hike to Anse Mondon for this reason. The hotel staff will try to talk you out of doing one of the longer hikes by yourself - they might have a point. The hotel also offers a guided hike each day, when we were there it was Mondays to Anse Mondon and Fridays to Grande Barbe, among others. It's not cheap though, you can find the prices and available hikes on their website. We talked to guests who did the easy hike on their own and they said it was fine. You can give the medium level one a shot on your own and always turn around if the weather is not on your side. Overall I think it's totally worth the money and probably one of the best value to price accomodations in the Seychelles. The rooms could use a bit of maintenance and modernizing but they are in great shape overall. AC works like a charm and rooms are big and comfortable. If I had the money I would totally come back again!
