Eden Island
Eden Island, with its four secluded beaches, swimming pools, a tennis court, a jogging track that circles the entire island
and a gymnasium, is the idyllic holiday destination, all set in lush green landscaped gardens. For the past decade, those
seeking a tropical escape have found their paradise in Eden Island, however, go back further a few years and you’ll find
this hasn’t always been the case. Eden Island has been constructed and raised to opulent perfection.ovingly formed from what was once merely a
dead coral reef, Eden Island now majestically
graces the east coast shoreline of Mahé. The
transformation began when Seychelles officials
recognised an opportunity to create both a new
p lace for many people to call home and a community
and lifestyle in itself. They approached South African
property developer, Craig Heeger and after meticulous
planning, construction of the foundations of Eden Island
began just prior to 2000 and ran up until 2006.
Throughout those next 6 years, the luxury villas,
maisons and apartments that you see today soon arose
and by 2006, the international market was invited
to purchase - and purchase they did. By less than 10
years later, around 500 units had been snapped up and
developers and officials were quick to see the impact the
development had made.
Eden Island now offers an enticing array of luxurious
homes are available for sale and for rental in this prestig-
ious island location. You’ll find three product offerings
available; spacious Apartments, deluxe Maisons and top
of the range Villas which are the epitome of luxury and
sophistication – all with ocean frontage in superb sur-
roundings and all available either to buy or to rent long
term or for a self- catering holiday.
Eden Island occupies 56 hectares and is connected to
the mainland by bridge. Each private residence is sold
as freehold. You’ll find 3-6 bedroom villas;$1300000 to
$1800000 3-4 bedroom, duplex maisons and $500,000
to $995 000, 1-3 bedroom apartments to accommo-
date all tastes, with the one-bedroom units specifically
targeting the rental market. Neatly avoiding the hassle of
buying furniture and decorating, Eden even gives you a
choice of different styles for furniture and interior decor.
All you need to do is turn the door key and step into
your new island life. An additional advantage is that as
an owner, you and your family can apply for Seychelles
residency and you can also place your home in the Eden
Island Luxury Accommodation portfolio and rent it out
on short or long term. Buyers also have access to the
attractive resale market which has already shown some
impressive capital growth.L
All these beautiful residences are nestled within an
island cocoon of tidy gardens with hotel, gym, clubhouse,
swimming pools, tennis court, four private beaches,
300-berth marina and commercial centre containing
Seychelles’ only shopping mall, restaurants, bars, coffee
shops and a myriad of retail outlets.
Eden has attracted a lot of attention for the ambitious
nature and scale of its development, earning accolades
at the International Property Awards, Arabia and Africa
2013/14 and 2015/2016 events but perhaps the most
eloquent statement of confidence comes from customers
themselves, over 25% of the homes on Eden Island are
owned by people who have two or more homes on the
island. Nothing, after all, succeeds like success.
