Eden Island gives winter the cold shoulder
A summery climate, fine sand and warm seawater – a holiday in the Seychelles sounds like paradise, especially now in winter. Eden Island offers all of this all year round. Nestled in the heart of the archipelago in the Indian Ocean, this luxury resort welcomes visitors from all over the world. But Eden Island is not just a dream destination for escaping the dreary weather. Property on this private island has established itself as an attractive investment.
Whilst 40 years ago the Seychelles were still an insider’s tip amongst travel professionals, the archipelago off the coast of East Africa is now known worldwide amongst nature and water sports enthusiasts. Yet the Seychelles offer far more than just idyllic island holidays. They have become an exceptionally stable and secure location for businesses and investors. “You cannot find tropical islands of comparable quality that are any closer or more convenient,” confirms Hamid M. Farahmand. The Hamburg-based entrepreneur specialises in holiday properties. Travelling to the world’s most beautiful destinations is his profession. Through his independent property consultancy, Clavis International, he and his team bring together sellers and buyers of holiday properties. Eden Island is one such destination.
A holiday on a picturesque palm-fringed beach with crystal-clear water and, if desired, an all-inclusive package – that is how Farahmand would describe a holiday on Eden Island. He adds that, for investors, it is also a lucrative investment offering exclusive services. Since the sale of the first properties over 10 years ago, Eden Island has demonstrably offered property buyers capital growth of up to 40 per cent and attractive annual rental yields of between 4 and 6 per cent. The key to this, alongside the unique location, is a first-class resort concept that leaves nothing to be desired. As well as a shopping centre, visitors will find a bank, German doctors, restaurants and bars right on site. Day visitors and locals alike enjoy the added benefits of Eden Island, which are so unique in the surrounding area.
Connected to Mahé by a bridge, Eden Island lies in a sheltered bay about 10 minutes from the international airport. The private island is criss-crossed by waterways and fringed by sandy beaches. From here, visitors can enjoy views of both the tropical forests and granite cliffs of the main island and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. First-class comfort, luxurious fittings and a private jetty right on the doorstep appeal to both guests and buyers. “Only a handful of properties are currently available,” explains Farahmand. For investors interested in a high-quality holiday home in the Seychelles, Eden Island is the first choice.
