Pangia Beach – A magical launch |12 November 2015

Potential buyers get foretaste of luxury beach apartments at Le Rocher

After months of continued dedication and hard work, Georgia and Vincent Van Heyste officially launched the off-plan sales for Pangia Beach, marking yet another milestone in the journey of this beautiful development of 33 luxury beach apartments at Le Rocher.

Last Saturday, they organised a cocktail on site at an hour where guests could enjoy a stunning sunset over the mountains and the blissful breeze of the ocean while sipping a glass of champagne overlooking the neighbouring islands of Cerf and St Anne.

The launch party certainly set the scene for what will be a unique gateway to island living for future Pangia Beach homeowners.

Driving onto the site, people were welcomed to a catchy beach sign that captured the essence of Pangia Beach ‘Paradise is only Paradise when you’re there’.  

Lit up by fairy lights, burning torches and tea light candles, the setting for the occasion was incredibly magical.

The logo of Pangia Beach is a cutaway of the nautilus shell, one of nature’s most impressive creatures, symbolising continuity and infinity, which was represented throughout the décor.  

The founder of Skychef, Panos Papakokkinos, aspired for years to develop a high-end residential complex. After his unfortunate passing, his dream is now under the guidance and drive of his daughter Georgia and her husband Vincent Van Heyste.

Dressed in white, invitees were made to feel a sense of barefoot luxury at Pangia Beach. Stepping into a tastefully decorated space, guests were greeted by Georgia and Vincent.

The night was abuzz with laughter and chats. With great honour Minister Jean-Paul Adam delivered a touching speech as he remembered his and Georgia’s father, stating that ‘they would be very proud’.

It was an emotional moment when Vincent remembered Mr Papakokkinos as it becomes clear that the journey to creating Pangia Beach is really one of infinite love and sacrifice.

The unveiling of the video made it all the more realistic as guests were taken on a mini journey into the look and feel of what this unique development has to offer.

The evening continued with interested buyers making further inquiries on particular apartments as others shared thoughts of the exclusivity that Pangia Beach will bring to the Seychelles.

It was a successful end to the evening and a positive beginning for Pangia Beach.

The project is ideally located between the airport and Victoria, with the lush green mountains of Mahé as a backdrop.

With a limited collection of only 29 apartments and 4 penthouses, all of which will be freehold, Pangia Beach guarantees any discerning homeowner exclusivity, luxury and convenience in a secure environment.

Prices for apartments start at $445,000. Residences will have the advantage of a private marina, direct beach access, private gym and club house with an infinity swimming pool as well as the convenience of 24-hour security, lift access in each block, covered car ports and the option of lock up garages.

The four contemporary island style buildings are set within a lush tropical landscape all within the gated and safe grounds of Pangia Beach.

There are four exclusive penthouses which, in addition to the typical apartments, benefit from other unique features such as direct lift access into the penthouse, double height ceilings in the living areas, expansive wrap around terraces providing spectacular 360° views and infinity plunge pools overlooking the ocean.
