Leave a comment The Main House is the social heart of the resort, and home to three restaurants, a lounge, several rooms, a gym and a spa Mango House was originally built by Gian Paolo Barbieri, one of the world’s most celebrated fashion photographers Born in Milan to a family of textile wholesalers, Barbieri found a passion for photography in his father’s textile warehouse Barbieri’s curiosity for travel led him to the Seychelles, where he built his magnificent home Barbieri’s deep affection for the Seychelles is evident in his captivating photography (which decorates the walls in the hotel) Designed by Dubai-bassed JT&Partners, Mango House’s contemporary design pays homage to Barbieri’s family house The original house was damaged by rising sea levels, which led to its demolition once the Hilton Group acquired the property The original home was replaced by the current ‘Main House’, which occupies the same location as the former residence The Main House's outdoor deck features a beautiful infinity pool overlooking the glittering bay The materials used throughout Mango House have primarily been sourced in Seychelles This includes local granite cladding, Nalau wood, off-white stucco wall textures on the façade, and grano wash for pathways Mango House features a beautiful (but small) beach cove Mango House offers three restaurants – all located within the Main House – showcasing distinct international flavors Muse is the resort’s all-day dining restaurant, inviting guests to celebrate Barbieri oeuvre in an ode to the original owner himself The venue offers Creole and Mediterranean dining in a relaxing ambiance reminiscent of Barbieri’s work Muse is open for breakfast, lunch (shown here) and dinner One floor below Muse is Moutya Restaurant, which pays homage to the Seychelles’ fiery Creole cuisine Moutya serves delicacies grilled over sustainable coconut shell charcoal, smoked, or oven-roasted for casual beach dining Next to Moutya is Azido, which has the reputation of being the best Japanese restaurant in the Seychelles Azido combines freshly caught seafood from local coves with the discipline of contemporary Japanese culinary art Let's take a stroll on Mango House's private beach Mango House Seychelles features three swimming pools which are scattered throughout the property The resort’s main pool area features an eye-shaped pool lined by a couple of sun loungers as well as a pool bar Mango House’s name is inspired by an ancient mango tree Gian Paolo Barbieri originally named his home ‘Mango House’ after a white mango tree that bore fruit in his kitchen’s garden The historic tree - one of the oldest on the island of Mahé at around 150 years old – has been preserved The tree is a prominent feature at the entrance of Mango House Next to the main pool is a bar with an outdoor terrace, serving cocktails and light fare during lunch time Up the hill is a third pool, which is located on an elevated wooden deck with a serene ambiance Let's take a dip in the Main House's infinity pool The resort's signature restaurant Azido serves Japanese cuisine Located at the Main House, Muse Restaurant offers a subtle blend of Italian flavors from all regions of Italy Moutya Restaurant serves local cuisine from the Seychelles Kokoye, Mango House’s Indo-Seychellois bar, is built on the philosophy of "Root, Fruit, and Spice" Each morning, breakfast is served at Muse Restaurant (a combination of a small buffet with à la carte dishes) Located on the first floor of the Main House, the resort's small spa is called Anpe (meaning ‘at peace’ in Creole) The spa offers massages, facials, and other therapies using natural, locally inspired products Also located within the Main House, one floor below the spa, is a small but well-appointed fitness area
