This large resort has the enviable position of being the only resort on Silhouette Island, set against the backdrop of Mount Dauban on a white-sand beach flanked by granite boulders.
Due to its mountainous layout, Silhouette hasn’t been developed much and the only facilities for dining and recreation are offered by the Hilton, but fortunately there’s a wide range on offer at the resort.
The 111 villas are spread across the grounds or along the beachfront and seven dining options offer a variety of dining. There’s also a good choice of leisure activities as well as opportunities to explore the island.
OUR OPINION:
Though it鈥檚 a large resort in a global chain, we like Hilton Labriz for its location on the unspoiled Silhouette Island and the calm waters off the long, white-sand beaches. We also think that the hotel is good for families thanks to a number of interconnecting rooms and facilities for children of all ages.

Location
Hilton Labriz sits on a white-sand beach that stretches nearly 1.5 km (about a mile) along the east coast of Silhouette Island. The island lies just 45 minutes by boat from the north coast of Mah茅 on the hotel鈥檚 shuttle service that runs three times a day. Alternatively, it鈥檚 just 15 minutes by helicopter.

There are two Japanese restaurants at the resort, Sakura and Teppanyaki. Sakura is set close to the beach and boasts a striking interior design with Japanese influences. The menu is Japanese fusion-cuisine, and there is an open kitchen and sushi bar. Sakura is open four nights a week for dinner.
