Passion for property? Not now Felicite

If property investment gets you hot under the collar in more ways than one, then the perfect place for your next move could be a luxury development on the ‘Island of Passion’, otherwise known as the tiny Seychelle Island, Felicite.

The Seychelles, formed millions of years ago when Africa and India parted, have always been extremely exclusive, where the super-wealthy holiday in private luxury. But three years ago the government decided to allow foreign ownership of properties on the islands, opening up a whole new oversees market for investors.

And what better place to start than a £2.4m luxury villa, at least 190ft away from the next, with a swimming pool, 28sqm bathroom and stunning views? Oh and the use of restaurant and leisure facilities too.

James Bond or Austin Powers

Even more impressive is the bond-style ’stealth’ architecture which is planned for the development. Project architect Tom Foster, from RHE Architecture & Design, said: “We want to create a new ’stealth’ architecture that remains unseen from the surrounding islands, camouflaged by the site’s natural materials. The villas will merge into the landscape from the sea or air, with angled flank walls that mirror the ridges and angles of the existing rock.” Oooh, fancy!

Sounds like paradise, but you’ll have to be careful if the urge for passion takes over in the pool, they’ll be glass bottomed and will form the roof of the living space below - cool, but if you’ve got guests, make sure your swim wear is secure.
