Winners from Next Hot Model 2013 head to the Seychelles Islands to turn up the heat and live the highlife…
They say that looks aren’t everything, but for up and coming fashion models Charlotte Royal and Alex Marlow their aesthetic aspects has afforded them everything and more.
The winners of Next Hot Model 2013, the pair strutted their stuff before a judging panel that included various industry giants plus performances from international model and singer songwriter Sophie Ellis Bextor to outshine a wealth of other easy on the eye competitors over Five heats and the Grand Final catwalk show at the Sealife Centre & Halls, before being crowned the new faces of the south coast fashion elite, gaining essential exposure, exclusive contracts with top model management company PRM London, and the opportunity to be whisked away on the trip of a lifetime to a photo shoot in the Seychelles, staying at stunning exclusive villas and hotels including Chateau Sans Souci, Carana Hilltop & The Coral Strand. Seeing not only the main Island Mahe and capital city Victoria but the stunning ultra exclusive Praslin and La Digue Islands.
Within these luxurious locations, Charlotte and Alex were allowed to wallow in their every whim, dining on world-class cuisine and sipping on cocktails. Whether appetites ask for a taste bud-tantalising array of traditional dishes served up as the sun sets over the beaches this was truly paradise made real. Of course with such a cornucopia of cuisine and cheeky coolers on endless offer, the temptation to overindulge in hedonistic hospitality might prove detrimental to the immediate career of any aspiring model, but fortunately our winners also had a very full schedule of shoots at various locations all over the 3 Islands over their 7 day stay, offering plenty of time to burn off the calories with a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean at some of the worlds best and non tourist beaches.
Despite the undeniable draw to simply stay within the complete-comfort confines of the resorts and beaches, it would be a criminal waste not to make the absolute most of any adventure and seek out the local culture and people – within the capital city of Victoria by day sampling the fish / flower and spice markets to the evening with the world famous cheol festival carnival – this is one of the most welcoming places on the planet and well worth taking time to explore.
When it comes to accommodation the hotels and villas were reassuringly lavish in the lap of luxury that a winner could expect from a once in a lifetime trip such as this, offering the dictionary definition of the pinnacle of pampered privilege. Each of the villas and hotels rooms were appointed and furnished to the highest standard and steeped in traditional design cues to preserve the magical and mystical feel of the paradise location.
