Mahe Island, The Seychelles
Constance Ephelia
Constance Ephelia
Picture yourself on a white sand beach, bordered by turquoise waters and 120 hecters of verdant green forest. You’re at the Constance Ephelia, part of the Constance Unique Resorts collection, on an exotic escape to the island of Mahé in the luxurious Seychelles archipelago.
You’ve slept soundly in your opulent, spacious and contemporary beach villa and awoken feeling revived. Deciding where to have your freshly prepared lunch is the toughest choice you’ll face today: the resort has no fewer than five restaurants to choose from, each with their own unique style and taste.
After lunch, you don your snorkelling mask and are transported to an enchanting underwater realm of exquisite granite reefs and lonely wrecks, preserved by strict conservation rules. Or choose to visit the fascinating marine national park of Port Launay which the resort overlooks.
On your return, there’s just time to treat yourself to a trip to the Spa Village for some well-deserved pampering – this is the holiday of a life time after all. Then it’s time for dinner and a magical evening spent in the company of loved ones, stargazing and flitting between the resort’s five restaurant bars.

Places to combine Constance Ephelia with
Etosha National Park
Encounter by Ongava is an intimate safari camp set within Ongava Game Reserve, on the southern edge of Etosha National Park. You’ll be surrounded by Mopane woodland and wildlife moving freely through the landscape.
There are eight spacious walk-in tents: seven standard tents and one paired tent that works well for families or small groups. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower and a private deck.
You can head out on game drives across the 30,000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve. The area is known for its rhino population, as well as lion, zebra and antelope, including the endemic black-faced impala. We especially recommend private guided nature walks, where you can slow down, appreciate the small details and explore with minimal impact. There may be the chance to approach white rhino on foot, as well as spend time bird watching.
For a wider safari experience, take a guided excursion into nearby Etosha National Park, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area. At the Ongava Visitor Centre, learn about the region’s geology, wildlife, plants and ecology.
Back at camp, slow down by the pool, settle into the library or gather at the bar as evening falls. The day softens into drinks, quiet conversation and the sounds of the reserve.
