...where nature holds sway
The islands of Seychelles have been blessed with natural beauty, a vibrant culture and beautiful people. Each island is unique in its own way, but the second largest in this archipelago, Praslin, has something extra to offer visitors to its shores. Orique - perched high on top of the Zimbabwe mountains on Praslin, it is a unique place where the traditions and culture of the Seychellois people live on, and where nature remains unrivaled. Orique is simply majestic, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding azure ocean, the neighbouring mountains, and an umatched retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
At Orique, tranquility and fresh air are in abundance, and the soothing sounds of nature create the perfect spot for pure relaxation.
Built by Terry Philoe, a man who has the Seychellois way of living and traditions at heart, Orique, has given visitors a glimpse of how the local people used to live, eat, and enjoy life. An impressive wooden architecture, with a unique style and design, built in the centre of a verdant, tidy and fragrant garden, offers an unforgettable experience of the local Creole cuisine in a cozy spot. The rich flavours of Seychelles can be tasted in time-honoured recipes and fresh ingredients from the garden. Whether you are savouring a hearty Creole dish or enjoying fresh local juice, every bite and sip tells a story of our rich heritage.
In the garden, you can relax and allow your soul to indulge in the peacefulness that Orique offers, and let nature pamper your body and mind with healing energies. Orique is a photographer's paradise..Who can resist the spectacular sunrise and sunset views? Watch as the sun's rays paint the blue canvas above with golden colours and seal this magic in a photograph. Orique, a masterpiece blessed by nature, welcomes you to embrace the calm, exhale stress and allow the mountain air to refresh your spirit.
