Minor Hotel Group has outlined plans to add a resort in the Seychelles to its portfolio with the opening of AVANI Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa.

Located on the west coast of Mahe Island, along the secluded bay of Barbarons Beach, the resort is currently undergoing an $8m renovation and is scheduled to re-open in the fourth quarter of 2014.

It was formerly operated as Le Meridien Barbarons Beach hotel.

The 124-room property is being extensively renovated to give a fresh look to the lobby, restaurants and bars and all guest rooms and suites.

Leisure facilities at the resort include a large freshwater swimming pool and a gym.

The resort’s spa will offer one double and three single treatment rooms, as well as a plunge pool and steam room.
