The newly opened ‘Laila’, operated by Marriott International under its Tribute Portfolio, offers guests 84 rooms. The resort offers a relaxed atmosphere with an extensive garden and plants, some of which are endemic to Seychelles, growing on all levels of the resort and its facilities.
Among the amenities guests can enjoy are a water sports centre, an outdoor swimming pool, a 24/7 gym, spa, a barbershop and a kids recreation area. Looking to attract visitors and locals, the resort also features five restaurants and bars designed to capture the spirit of the community.
The different restaurants have on their menus a range of Creole dishes and drinks as well as international cuisine offerings. One of the restaurants on the laïla’s list is the Kafe Kreol Beachside Bar and Restaurant, an existing restaurant that is located across the street from the resort.
A media release outlined that as a Tribute Portfolio Resort, laïla is part of Marriott Bonvoy, the award-winning travel programme from Marriott International, where Marriott Bonvoy members will be able to earn points for their stay at the new resort, as at other properties across Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio.
According to Marriott, the Tribute Portfolio allows hotels to create their own individual identity, all the while following the branding guidelines and regulations of Marriott International. Among the 33 Tribute Portfolios, no two hotels are therefore the same.
Currently, there is only one other Marriott International resort in Seychelles, which is the North Island resort, which falls under the company’s Luxury Collection.
