History
Mango House Seychelles opened as an LXR Hotels & Resorts property in 2021 on Mahe's southern coast, above Anse Aux Poules Bleues, on the former private home of Italian fashion photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri. He named the estate for a mango tree still standing at the entrance. The forty-one-room resort keeps granite walls, Nalau wood joinery, and pieces of Barbieri's original furniture.
The setting
Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts, sits above Anse Aux Poules Bleues — a sheltered bay on Mahé's southern coast in Baie Lazare, about 35 minutes from the airport. The site carries rare artistic heritage: the estate was originally the private residence of Italian fashion photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri, who named it 'Mango House' after a 150-year-old mango tree still standing at the entrance. Barbieri's photography lines the walls, and the property sits in what locals call the 'Bohemian South' — Mahé's undeveloped southwest coast long favoured by creatives. Two landmark luxury resorts lie within 1.4 kilometres, and the bay's clear, shallow waters earn the designation 'Aquarium of Wonders' for exceptional snorkelling.
