Avani Barbarons Seychelles to Relaunch following Major Transformation, Elevated to Avani+

Bangkok, Thailand, 21 May 2025: Minor Hotels, a global hospitality group that owns and operates over 560 hotels in 57 countries in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, the Indian Ocean, Europe and the Americas, announces the upcoming relaunch of Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles. Set to reopen on 16th June 2025, the reimagined resort marks the next chapter for one of Seychelles’ most notable beachfront escapes, unveiling a refreshed look and elevated guest experiences that reflect the contemporary sophistication of Avani.

The property is set on the west coast of Mahé Island, just 30 minutes from Seychelles International Airport. Situated against lush tropical gardens and offering direct access to pristine white-sand beaches, Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles will reopen with 192 fully refurbished guest rooms and suites, including brand-new Lagoon Access Rooms that bring guests even closer to the resort’s expanded lagoon-style pool.

The relaunch will also introduce a vibrant dining scene that celebrates island culture and coastal flavours. From globally inspired bites at Pti-Bazar to flame-grilled feasts at Somewhere and hand-rolled sushi at SEYUMAI, there’s something for every craving. Zil and Lagon Bars serve poolside sips and snacks, while Bar Barons blends wholesome plates with signature cocktails.

Guests can unwind at AvaniSpa, explore the surrounding waters with snorkelling and water sports, or discover Seychelles’ vibrant Creole heritage. The resort’s three flexible meeting spaces, oceanfront location, and curated experiences make it an ideal setting for destination weddings, incentive travel and executive retreats.

“We are pleased to announce the upcoming relaunch of Avani+ Seychelles Barbarons Resort, which will reposition the property as a standout lifestyle destination,” said Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International. “With enhanced facilities including innovative new room types and refreshed dining and wellness offerings, we’re confident the relaunch will add tremendous value to the Avani portfolio and resonate strongly with both new and returning guests.”
