Set high above the turquoise waters of Mahé, the EPC x Northolme Experience introduces a curated journey into the world of Champagne and cuisine, reimagined for the modern traveller. Rather than a traditional dining concept, the experience unfolds as part of a wider island escape, where each moment is designed to feel considered, personal and deeply connected to its surroundings.

At its core is a refined pairing of EPC Champagne with a multi-course menu inspired by Seychelles’ natural ingredients, brought to life by Executive Chef Fábio Regalado. Known for his philosophy of simplicity and precision, Chef Fábio’s approach allows each ingredient to speak for itself, creating dishes that feel both elevated and rooted in the island’s character.

Each course is thoughtfully paired with a distinct cuvée, transforming the evening into a sensory journey that balances freshness, texture and flavour. From delicate seafood to vibrant, tropical finishes, the menu reflects a contemporary interpretation of island dining, elevated through technique and storytelling.

Beyond the table, the experience is framed by Northolme’s signature setting — private villas, panoramic ocean views and a sense of quiet seclusion that naturally lends itself to slower, more meaningful travel. Here, moments are not rushed. Champagne is not reserved for celebration alone, but becomes part of a wider lifestyle, where guests are invited to pause, connect and immerse themselves fully in their surroundings.

For travellers from the GCC, this shift towards experience-led travel is becoming increasingly relevant. With a growing appetite for destinations that offer both privacy and depth, Hilton Northolme presents a compelling alternative to the traditional island getaway — one where culinary discovery, design and nature come together seamlessly.

The EPC collaboration reflects a broader evolution in luxury travel, where partnerships between global brands create something more immersive than a typical stay. It is a reminder that in destinations like Seychelles, the most memorable journeys are not defined by where you go, but by how you experience it.
