A FESTIVE LOVE AFFAIR WITH ISLAND LIFE
Take Over
Let the Island This festive season, we are turning up the colour, flavour and rhythm of Seychelles.
Welcome to Creole à la Folie a celebration made for long lunches, barefoot evenings, unexpected cocktails, familiar songs and the kind of laughter that carries well past sunset. At DoubleTree Allamanda, Christmas is less about rushing from one moment to the next and more about enjoying the people around you.
So come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to dance.
From Christmas carols by the pool to Creole feasts, Secret Santa surprises and a New Year's countdown beneath the island sky, this is the festive season, Allamanda style.
