F&B
Labriz Resort & Spa boasts seven dining options, all set in varying locations from beach to lakeside and with private dining options available too. From fine Italian cuisine at Portobello, to modern Seychellois food with hints of the island’s English and French heritage at Grann Kaz, to Japanese dishes at Sakura and Teppanyaki, guests will not go hungry on their holiday! Foodies can also experience authentic Creole cuisine at Café Dauban and even try their hand at cookery classes, allowing them to take home recipes from the island to remind them of their holiday in paradise.
Activities

Active guests can spend their days hiking through the rainforest and Marine National Park, or diving in the rich marine ecosystem, fishing in the shallows and exploring the island by bicycle.
