Senior Majordome - Chinese Speaker

Position

Between the tropical vegetation and the iconic granite boulders, Cheval Blanc Seychelles unveils a contemporary Maison nestled on Anse Intendance, the Seychelles’ most beautiful bay.​

Curled up on the beach or perched on the hillside, 52 villas have been imagined by architect Jean-Michel Gathy. And out of sight, on the beach facing the turquoise horizon, a 5-bedroom exclusive villa embodies the quintessence of Cheval Blanc Art de Recevoir.​

Culinary art is celebrated through five creative scenes: Mizumi, the Asian restaurant by the lake, Vivamento, the vibrant Italian pool-side bar, Sula, the feet-in-the-sand beach club, and Cheval Blanc’s signature concepts, Le 1947 French gastronomic restaurant and Le White cosmopolitan restaurant. ​

This peaceful retreat also boasts a collection of wellness rituals by Guerlain at the Cheval Blanc Spa, a swimming pool, a fitness centre, a surf simulator and two tennis and padel courts. Little ones are invited to enter a world of amazement at Le Carrousel kids’ club while our Ambassadeurs craft memorable bespoke experiences for each and every guest.
