Multi award-winning celeb chef, mom, author, and founder of The Siba Co., Siba Mtongana and her husband Brian, have been spotted enjoying island life on Sainte-Anne Island in the Seychelles – one of the most extraordinary destinations in the Indian Ocean.
The couple are holidaying at the brand new eco-chic Exclusive Collection Resort Club Med Seychelles which is located in a protected reserve, and is a 220-hectare slice of paradise – easily reachable from South Africa.
Siba and Brian look to be spending quality one-on-one time together enjoying everything from dinner dates on the beach, to the most spectacular sunsets, and taking advantage of everything the all-inclusive resort is famous for. We look at some of the features that make this resort bucket-list worthy.
