Get The Look: Four Seasons Seychelles at Desroches Island

᛫ 14 Comments

Let me introduce you to Victoria Jackson, an Interior Stylist and The Editor of multi-award-winning blog Apartment Number 4. Victoria and I met for drinks in Leeds recently and cooked up the idea to do a blog takeover on each others blogs. Today we’re both setting the blog posts live! Exclusively for The Travelista, Victoria has created this dreamy interiors-inspired post about the Four Seasons Seychelles Desroches and I have blogged about 7 Inspiring Design Hotels from Around The World over on her blog Apartment Number 4.

So come and take a sneak peak at the newly-opened Four Seasons Seychelles Desroches Island, then find out how to ‘get the look’ and add a little bit of paradise into your own home…

If you were to ask which travel destinations were in my top 10 of all time, I’d have to say the Seychelles is close to the top (after Tulum, which is my next tick on the bucket list). In conjunction with British Airways’s new direct flight between London and The Seychelles, the Four Seasons has also opened a stunning new hotel on the small island of Desroches.

Four Seasons Seychelles Desroches Island is an interior lovers dream. From the use of natural textures throughout including unfinished wood and rattan, to the blurred lines between where the inside stops and the outside starts, every corner of this resort screams luxury, in a subtle understated way.

The informal, relaxed style of interior runs into the common areas effortlessly, including the bar which blends layered rugs, soft seating and lanterns aplenty. Around every corner in Four Seasons Seychelles Desroches Island, you’re only moments away from the clear waters and natural surroundings, and the design of this hotel really has captured that with its light and airy open design.

Although your sunsets may not be as amazing as they are in the Seychelles, I wanted to show you how to create a similar look in your own home, especially as the warmer months draw closer and you try to bring a little of the outside in.

The trend for natural woods, wicker, vintage inspired furniture and leaf prints is incredibly popular on the high street right now, so getting a similar vibe in your own home on a less than Seychelles budget is absolutely attainable. Here’s how…

    • Thanks Emily! Glad you like the idea behind the post. My house is also full of ornaments and trinkets I have brought back from my travels. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I also like the idea of having your interior style inspired by hotels you’ve stayed in xx

  3. Wow! I would love to go there. I like the idea of bringing your favorite interior features back but I think my favourite feature – the weather- might evade me a little haha.

    It’s nice to find new blogs to follow so this is a nice piece.

  • Honestly is there anything better than a freshly bathed baby dressed all in white? 🛁🤍👼🏼 From this angelic face you’d have no idea that he has seriously tested me today by throwing approximately 98% of the food I’ve made him on the floor 🙃 How are you all doing? #StayHome #13monthscorrected
  • 🌿Maybe this was mother nature’s way of telling us to stop and think? 🌿. . Perhaps she’s trying to tell us all to slow down; to consume less, to pollute less, to put our health first, to be more present, to find new ways to be entertained, to appreciate loved ones, to know what it’s like to live without instant gratification. . We’re all so busy constantly chasing after the next thing that we think is going to bring us more happiness (that dreamy new bag, a new job, a new car?) but now all of that has been taken away from us, the one thing that everyone I know seems to be struggling with most (including me) is the lack of human contact. Laughing with a friend, a spontaneous chat to a nice stranger, seeing your kids play with others. We are missing these social elements of our day, and it’s hard. So hard. But when we get our humans back, we will appreciate them much more than the flat whites and the freedom. What do you think? . Just a few philosophical musings that I had on FaceTime this weekend after 3 glasses wine 🥴🤣 Trying to find some light in this dark situation 💕 (Shot by @korm87 back in Feb) #socialdistancing
  • No groundbreaking updates from me today. Just this video of Theo finding pure joy in a spinning bowl 🤣💕 Watch if you’re in need of a little lockdown laughter #StayHome
  • Today we built a soft play area in our living room which entertained Theo for ohh...a good 4 minutes 🤣. . It wasn’t the Mother’s Day we had planned but it was spent with my two favourite boys which is the most important bit. We are all healthy and right now that is all I can ask for. Being Theo’s mummy is the hardest but most rewarding job I’ve ever had 💗. Tonight we’re supporting a local business and ordering food from my favourite Turkish restaurant. What are you getting up to (at home)? . Please please all do your bit and follow the guidelines of social-distancing and self isolation. It’s incredibly frustrating to see people ignoring the advice when families like us are cancelling plans with loved ones and trying to entertain an almost toddler at home all day (NOT easy). The sooner we all stay at home the sooner this can all be over and the more lives will be saved. It’s pretty simple 🙏🏼. . Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mamas out there both on earth and in heaven 💕 Our amazing playmat was gifted from @munchkinandbearuk
  • What a testing week its been for the world. I hope you’re all staying safe and doing OK. I’m managing my anxiety a lot better this week by just trying to live in the moment and taking one day at a time. I’m not thinking past the next 24 hours. . I’m spending a lot less time on my phone, practising gratitude, exercising daily and avoiding unhelpful content and generally just focusing on Theo (bye bye childcare). I did however tune into @thenestingcoach IG live last night, which really resonated with me so thought I’d pass it on. . The message was this; over the next few months our worlds are going to become smaller and it may feel as if we are living in a bubble. But here’s the positive; we are in control of what we let in to that bubble. Do not let anything into that bubble that may bring it down e.g. anxiety-inducing platforms, negative influences. Make it a safe and happy place and remember this will NOT last forever. It’s an unprecedented in our lifetimes, but it is all temporary. Protect your bubble. Thank you so much Stacy for sharing this message! You can still view the live on her page. . Let’s just be kind to each other and help each other wherever we can. Look out for your neighbours. Call your grandparents. Hug your kids. DON’T bulk buy. We are all in this together. We can do this! I would usually say 'have a good weekend’ but I think ‘good luck’ is more appropriate. Now time for a glass of red! 🙃❤️🍷 Photo by @korm87
  • Hey guys. Time for some honesty. I decided to spend the weekend without going on any social media or news apps. I have been following the #coronavirus situation avidly and pretty much over dosed on news articles and unhelpful video content. . My anxiety peaked last week and I ended up in tears at the thought of my weekend plans. I was meant to be in Manchester for a 30th birthday weekend but I pulled out as the thought of going amidst the virus outbreak was way too much. I know this will sounds crazy to some, and sensible to others. . I am mostly anxious because I feel Theo is vulnerable given his prematurity. I’m sure other parents and especially #nicuparents will feel the same about their kids. I keep thinking of all the poor parents and tiny babies in NICUs across the world right now. As if they weren’t already dealing with enough. . We all need to stay informed and educated about the situation but I think there is so much unhelpful and unnecessary content online that can really fuel anxiety. It’s making it all feel like we’re in an episode of Black Mirror. . I really hope this post doesn’t make anyone feel worse or more worried. That is not my intention. Everything will be ok. But if you are feeling anxious, just know that you are not alone. I wanted to share that stepping away from social media and the news for a little while has actually really helped me. We’ve got to protect our mental health. . Curate your feeds to lift you up not bring you down. Watching @megan_rose_lane’s latest IGTV about anxiety really helped me and if you feel a similar way then definitely go and check it out. Hope everyone is OK during this weird and uncertain time 💕🌸. . Photo taken this weekend of the lovely pale Cherry blossom at the end of my road 🏡
