Superwoman and supermom of three, Layla Kolbe, has been spotted enjoying island life on Sainte-Anne Island in the Seychelles – one of the most beautiful destinations in the Indian Ocean. Layla is enjoying a well-deserved momcation with fellow moms Rozanne McKenzie, Olwethu Leshabane, Davina Gordon Goliath, Marcelle Gordon and more.

Momcations – a rejuvenating escape tailored to meet the relaxation needs and desires of mothers from all walks of life, whether they holiday alone with their friends or bring the family along for the adventure – are on the rise.

The base of Layla’s momcation is the eco-chic Exclusive Collection Resort Club Med Seychelles which is located in a protected reserve, and is a 220-hectare slice of paradise. With its Zen pool, hammam, yoga studio, and library, Club Med Seychelles is providing the moms with a unique wellness break.

The Yoga School by Heberson offers hikes punctuated with Vibhava yoga sessions. On either side of the trail are a lush jungle, bracing scents of flowers, and a host of exotic birds. A view of the sea emerges, providing an opportunity to breathe, meditate, and fully awaken the senses. The resort boasts padel tennis, archery, a fitness school with a beachfront gym, cycling/spinning classes, and an outdoor palapa offering muscle toning, stretching, Body Pump™, and Pilates classes.

It’s great to see the moms chose to holiday at a resort that encourages guests to live in harmony with nature and recharge their batteries in an unspoilt environment. Through its Happy to Care programme, Club Med is committed to the protection of endangered species in host communities. It is for this reason they chose to open the Exclusive Collection Resort in the Seychelles, where nearly 60% of the land is a protected area. The resort has therefore been designed to integrate with and celebrate its environment as much as possible. This is further entrenched in the fun and informative activities on offer to guests to teach them about the environment and the magnificent creatures that live amongst us.

Surrounding the island, the Sainte-Anne Marine National Park offers travellers the best diving and snorkelling sites. Moms and explorers who love the ocean can also enjoy watersports such as sailing and stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. To explore the archipelago, there are many excursions that allow guests to island hop – which Layla and fellow moms looked to enjoy as part of a day trip courtesy of Seychelles Tourism. They spent time exploring the island of La Digue, the exotic Coco de Mers, strolled along some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and more.

While the moms are enjoying a momcation without kids, it’s useful to know that Club Med Seychelles is the only resort in the Seychelles to offer childcare for children from age two to 10 years old. Club Med Seychelles is also a paradise for little ones. The Petit Club Med, Mini Club Med, and Club Med Passworld welcome young explorers with open arms and activities inspired by the Positive Education pedagogical principles. As part of its “Amazing Family” program, the resort also offers inclusive fun for families such as yoga, ecosystem discovery sessions, and a pool with water games for to suit everyone, making it the perfect way and place to enjoy a school holiday break. Through its enhanced zoning, a holiday at Club Med Seychelles is fun for the whole family. While kids are having fun and making friends at the Kid’s clubs, parents can enjoy quiet moments together at the adult-only Zen pool at the other side of the resort and when they want to create moments together, the family pool with all its fun activities (plus a snack and juice bar) is ready to delight them.

The Seychelles is very quickly climbing the charts as a favourite destination for travellers from South Africa as it has amazing weather year-round, is easily reachable via a 5-hour direct flight with Air Seychelles, and South Africans do not need a visa to enter. Whether for families seeking an unparalleled tropical adventure, active explorers, nature-loving travellers, or moms who simply want to relax for a well-deserved momcation, Seychelles is a destination unlike any other.
