Emirates Hotels &
Resorts has appointed Mr. Kris Seeboo as Project Manager for its Seychelles development, located at Mahe’s Cap
Ternay.
Cap Ternay Resort & Spa, the division’s third-conservation-based and environmentally-friendly property, is currently in its detailed design
phase. Scheduled to open in 2010 at an investment of US$253 million, the Cap Ternay Resort & Spa is the largest
international investment by Emirates Hotels & Resorts, and one of the largest-ever in the
islands of Seychelles.
Kris Seeboo has over 10 years experience in the construction industry and over the past 18 years he has been involved in the hospitality
sector, both as developer and General Manager of several five-star Indian Ocean resorts. Kris’ experience in the management of Mauritian
and Seychelles resorts has earned him a good reputation in the industry; while his leadership in tourism development has won him
official government recognition as ‘Officer of the Order of the Star’ and has been presented the ‘Key to the India Ocean’.
Kris holds tertiary qualifications in Human Resource Management and Business Administration, acquired at Penn State University, (USA),
City of London Polytechnic, (UK) and he has a French Masters degree in Law.
Cap Ternay Resort & Spa will be located within a protected area on the main island Mahe and will uphold the
company’s conservation
practices and use of ecologically-sensitive designs in resort development; first initiated with the
Emirates Hotels & Resorts' flagship property, Al Maha Desert
Resort & Spa in Dubai. Cap Ternay Resort & Spa will establish
a feral-free wildlife reserve, with its 60-acres protecting many species
endemic to the Seychelles.
Cap Ternay Resort & Spa will feature two distinct areas spread over 22 acres of land. The main Resort & Spa boasts 186 rooms planned for
families and budget-conscious travellers, and 230 deluxe rooms designed as semi-detached, cottage-style complexes situated in
landscaped beachfront locations.
The Cap Ternay Villas & Spa area will feature
water-bungalows, plus 30 two-bedroom villas and a Presidential suite, each
with a private pool and deck.
