The Seychelles mainland
of Mahé with its small 9-hole course may not be the golfer’s first
choice destination, butFour
Seasons Resort Seychelles has
created a new Sunset Golf experience that is sure to compensate.
With
the setup along the stunning Petite Anse beach, entirely encompassed
in the horseshoe-shaped bay that the Resort surrounds, this
mini-driving range is one of the most spectacular in the world.
Guests can drive golf balls into the ocean, and try and reach the
different yard markers set out in the bay. This is, of course,
accompanied by delicious, refreshing sunset
cocktails. With a start time of 6:00 pm, the hour-long sunset can be
enjoyed in full from the moment the sunset begins on this west
coast beach until it has dropped well below
the horizon, throwing beams of orange, red and purple light across
the sky.
General
Manager Alex Porteous explains more: "The Ocean is the perfect
expanse in which to drive golf balls, but going against our Living
Values by polluting the ecosystem with hundreds of golf balls is
simply not an option,
so we use Ecobioballs. This product is 100 percent safe to any plant
and animal marine life thanks to its cleverly-designed outer shell
that biodegrades in less than 48 hours, releasing fish food into the
water. So while you’re enjoying a fabulous
evening of sunset golf, you can be safe in the knowledge that you are
providing a sumptuous dinner for our local marine life."
Only
one session can take place every evening, offering an exclusive
experience, as the Resort’s Leisure Experience Manager Diarmuid
Connolly explains. "This is the ultimate one-in-a-lifetime
golfing experience and a truly unique evening in Seychelles.
Even if you’re not a golfer, or you’re travelling with a golfer,
you can try it out, and even if you discover you’re not the next US
Masters champion, you can still enjoy a beautiful sunset and a
cocktail."
