Where to stay in Seychelles Islands
Seychelles Islands hotels & accommodations

I think this place is perfect for families, especially those with little children. It would be a great hotel if you didn't want to go and see other places on the island so much. However, if you prefer to go around Mahe, it's best to rent a car when staying in this hotel. Aside from that, it was great! Food was great and drinks were reasonably priced compared to most of...

Right from the time we got to the hotel the staff were very friendly and advised us very well on things to do (as we were a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 children) and were to go and how to save money were we could. This advise actually made a big difference as Seychelles is very expensive. The hotel breakfast is very good with a lot of choice and absolutely worth it....

We stayed in and visited 7 of the best resorts in the Seychelles and all were amazing but this is the best. Simply cannot fault it in any way. We were devastated to leave and even more so now that we are home! Ryan was our GEM and was the best person I have ever encountered in the hospitality sector. Nothing was too small or too big for him to help us with. The villas ...

We had an amazing time in Banyan Tree. Perfect picturesque location, best breakfast views ever. Long and mostly empty beach Anse Intendance with quite some waves is maybe not that great for swimming but amazing for walking along and just jumping in the water next to the shore. And for fabulous pictures. We had our wedding ceremony at the beach and it was the fairytale...

The Le Duc the Praslin Hotel was one of three hotels during my stay at the Seychelles and I liked all three hotels but this review is about this hotel. The hotel is at the north side of the island and as I understood the best side of the island to stay this part of year (early September) and a good location to travel to the famous beach of Anse Lazio (in my case by pub...

Seychelles Islands are absolutely stunning but very expensive. We didn't realise but we had only booked breakfast (not half board) so that cost of eating at the hotel was quite high and because it is so far away from everything we only ate there. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, staff are great and fantastic facilities (go to the spa, its heaven!) - but for wh...

We stayed for 7 nights at Paradise Sun Hotel and this was the best vacation we had on Seychelles. Maybe the hotel did not had the best interior design compared to the others we stayed but they had an amazing team of very enthusiastic people who did absolutely their best to pamper all guests. This is what I will remember most - beautiful location and great dedicated st...

Spent 6 nights here for our entire stay on Praslin and it was excellent! Located 10 minutes by foot from the town of Anse Volbert, it was close enough to be comfortable to get supplies from the shops and go to restaurants, but just far enough for the amazing beach to feel quiet and remote. The pool is very nice and the beach was just great. The room was clean and comfo...

We stayed here from 14 to 18 January 2018. We booked a deluxe room and had a great stay. The staff were attentive to our needs and provided excellent service both room service and house keeping. Our room was spacious , neat and very clean. Generally Seychelles is a very expensive place, and compared to other hotels this was cheaper but I suppose the deluxe rooms ar...

MAIA luxury hotel was one of the best hotels we ever stayed at. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel overlooks the beautiful ocean and has very private villas that are very private but with an outstanding view. Nehemiah our butler was PHENOMENAL!! Would do it again in a heart beat

This hotel lived up to its write up on the Agoda page. Our beach facing room was spacious, clean and comfortable but perhaps a little basic in furniture. The A frame lodges looked better but many are in the garden not on the beach side; so be careful what you book. A very pleasant environment with a good food service and friendly helpful staff. Everyone says the pe...

We stayed at 3 hotels in the Seychelles and his was by far the cheapest. Our expectations were low but we were surprised by how good this hotel is. We booked a standard room and it had nice decor, good facilities and was very clean - everything functioned as it should and we had no complaints. The hotel is well managed and every member of staff we saw was friendly, ...

was pleasantly surprised by the hotel - so much so, we extended our stay! nice big room, clean with nice bathrooms. a few ants but this seemed to be the case everywhere we stayed. nice garden area around the pool. no tv. beach (anse volbert) was just at the end of the hotel driveway, along with a restaurant/pizzeria owned by the hotel. staff very friendly. aft...

Eden Bleu completely surpassed our expectations. We stayed in a standard room for 4 nights in September. The room was spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and the chef went the extra mile to prepare vegetarian food for us - the vegetarian curry is amazing! The staff were welcoming and friendly and gave us great advice regarding...

Stayed here for 4 days in early October. This is a high class act in Praslin. B0th beaches (Georgette and Petite Anse Kerlan) are amazing. Staff is extremely professional and nice. Food is good to very good (vs comparable prices in Seychelles) but not amazing (vs what I tried elsewhere in the world). The buffet could could be a touch better and less repetitive (it is g...

First of all Stephane and His mother are very kind and you feel like you know them for a long time ago. The location is perfect and the lodge is the best we have seen on La Digue. You have a little house in a paradise garden...The room is large, comfortable, you have a terrace and a kitchen where you can have breakfast or dinner and I must say it was the best food we ...

The room is clean in general, maybe the flower attract the ants in bathroom which we face in some rooms we stay in Seychelles, a small cockroach from drainage in kitchen. The drainage of washing basin in bathroom not work well and the toilet roll rack is broken, we left it and remove the toilet roll some to use, the housekeeper just put it back like nothing but not ask...

We are a couple from Denmark, and stayed at La Residence in july 2014. We booked the villa, because we wanted to stay out of crowded hotels like Banyan Tree or Maia, and enjoy the "quiet" side of the island. Reception was perfect in one and all - to provide us with EU/UK adapters, they use UK type, beach towels free of charge, map, they also have a choice of books to r...

This small hotel just north of Beau Vallon is situated in one of the most beautiful spots on the island of Mahé, with a fanstastic beach in a little bay that offers the most spectacular snorkelling experience within just a few meters. The hotel provides you with free snorkelling gear and you can easily spend a week looking at all the things there are to discover underw...

Moulin Kann Villas was an excellent choice for our 6 day holidays in the Seychelles, Mahe Island. The location is perfect, just by the beach, in the South of the island where all the beautiful and less crowed beaches are. The apartment is brand new, it has sea views, the private swimming pool is just incredible, there is a kitchen for self catering (as eating out is qu...

Quaint! Couple-friendly! Great breakfast! Bayview Seychelles is a quaint place located in Central Mahe on the West Coast road with a nice south-east facing view of the bay. The nearest beaches are Grand Anse& Anse Boileau. Parking space is adequate to accommodate cars from all occupant guests. The rooms are clean, lovely & with sufficient amenities; with air-conditio...

Petras G.H. La Dique is generaly overpriced.like Petras G.H. for €55.- i got the first night a room with bathroom outside and with the morning and afternoon sun on the outside walls hot like a sauna!everybody else would have been ashamed to offer a bad deal like this!!2.day after heavely complaining i got a room with bath.also very strange between 8 and 9pm she looks...

These apartments have agreement with the LaDigue Lodge - so we could use their pool, beach. The breakfast was there too - good one Staff was very attentive and helpful. Rooms spacious and clean. Although those rooms that are facing the road have a balcony - I'd recomend to take the one facing the backside - more quiet. Very good location, bicycle rentals close by. The...

Although not cheap, I can't think of a better location in the Seychelles than Eden Island. The apartment was very large with a patio overlooking the marina. The development is a full gated community where you get free use of a golf cart to move around. The facilities are good with a well-stocked supermarket and a wide choice of bars and restaurants on site. Located...
Cheap places to stay in Seychelles Islands

I've travelled the world extensively but never came across with such a warm hospitality as by the owners of Villa La Cachette: Agnela and her family. The Villa is walking distance from Beau Vallon beach which is perhaps the most famous beach on Mahe, Seychelles. My room had a fully equipped kitchen (with hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, rice cooker, and fridge-freezer....

It is a 12 min walk up the hill which makes it very calm and even more enjoyable. It has a millon dollar view of the ocean. We got upgraded to a bigger apartment for free. It was so luxurious and beautiful that my husband and me thought about swapping our apartment for this one ;) It was clean, well equipped and had very tasteful furniture. The owner was amazing. ...

We had a wonderful stay here. The owner was very warm and friendly and really did her best to help us. The cottage was very clean and big enough for two people (possibly three). The surrounding grounds are full of tropical flowers and the location was pretty good as well if you have a car. If we visit again, we definitely want to return here. It was very good value for...

It might seem strange to live in the middle of the jungle on an island known for its heart-stoppingly beautiful beaches, but in the Seychelles it makes perfect sense. We just finished our second stay at the Calou and the formula of visiting beaches by day and retreating to the jungle to listen to birds in the evenings and mornings worked well again. Go for the half-b...

We felt this listing belongs more on a site like AirBnB - it's a basic accommodation with a room in a house shared with the host but not quite on part with real hotel rooms. We unknowingly booked the place for 1 guest rather than 2 on Agoda, and had to make up for the price difference afterwards. (At time of writing the Agoda mobile app still lacks support for sea...

The Good: - The value - Location near the beach - safe area - The small AC in the bedroom, free of charge - Roland the owner was helpful and offered an extra bed for free, which was nice of him, also when our mobile sim card didn't work he offered me a spare sim card. The Bad: - No AC or fan in the living room! which was a bit disappointing, Roland the owner said ...

Great place to stay in The Seychelles but would recommend hiring a car, which we did. John was the best host and would definitely advise anyone staying to enjoy one (at least) of his evening meals. Excellent but a large appetite is necessary! New building across the way but only occasionally noisy. No problem. Having WiFi was a bonus as not readily available ever...

Chez Augustine is a very nice guesthouse, I liked everything. The rooms are big, clean, all you need is here, equipment is good enough and working well, cleaning woman comes everyday (but Su). Helpful and friendly owners and stuff. Punctual and comfortable airport transfer, less expensive than taxi. When I arrived, I have found complement juice and water, tea and coff...

Hotel is south of airport.15 minutes by local bus from airport, 30 minutes by local bus into Victoria (main town). Room was good size, clean, comfortable. No cafes around but a good takeaway next door. Owner of hotel very amenable to you eatimg your takeaways out on verandah with a wine or beer if you want.

This was our best holiday ever!!! The apartment was in a beuatiful environment, surround by palms, mango trees, banana trees and nice rocks. We can see the ocean from our balcony. There was a little Market about 3 minutes walk, where we can buy everything, what we need (bread, water, indredigents for cooking, cleaning supplies etc.) The bus stop just 1 minute by walk, ...

Very helpful owners. Travis phone nb. +248 2 512 245 or Jeanny +248 2512122 you can whatsup the them and ask if you have some questions. Travis helped me to rent a car in good price. They invited us for a dinner with tasty fish. It was because they are very hispitable . You can feel like at home . I've never met so honest and helpful owners of the bus at house. The ho...

I have spent 10 days on Seychelles islands and Coco Bay villa was the best accommodation I had. It's a nice small house with 3 rooms (each having own bathroom) and living room with kitchen where guest can prepare food and chat. Outside is a spacious terrace surrounded with beautiful gardens where are 2 bungalows. The rooms are big enough as well as the bathrooms, it's ...

Very nice, quiet place. We have been 11 nights there. There was a wee problem in one of our rooms on arrival, but solved immediately. Extremely friendly and helpful Staff made our holiday realy wonderful. Every night in front of each door they light a special candle against insects what gives a confidence of heaving no "unwanted visitors" at night. Whenever we needed h...

Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Zentrale Lage, Supermärkte und alles man braucht gleich gegenüber. Zum Strand sind es ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuss. Am Strand kann man sich Liegen für 10 € mieten, Strandtücher bekommt man im Appartement. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

We were very lucky to book the Calypha Guest House so that we very enjoyed the 15 days in Seychelles. And We should commend the breakfast, especially the hand made jam ! Everybody should try that XD The last, Guest house owner whole family are very kindly and sweet ,we felt warming when we lived there.

Petras G.H.

Pros : clean, spacious, functional kitchen with everything u need to cook breakfast and dinner), supermarket nearby, friendly host living on site, neat common areas, thick walls between bungalows, lots of small details to make the room more comfortable (furnitures etc), comfy bed, aircon.... Overall, way above basic guesthouses met in other parts of seychelles. Bike re...

We had stayed two nights in another hotel nearby and decided to change and try bamboo vert. The best choice ever!!! We even extended our initial stay.Only 5 mins walking to the jetty but it feels you are in the jungle with such a beautiful garden with rabbits, birds and even a giant turtle. With low price bikes rental which are extremely well maintained, a scrumptious ...

Very nice apartment with seaview. The place is clean, spacious and has everything you need. We had a very warm welcome with refreshing drinks and were provided with a lot of information including maps of the island and the bus schedule! After our stay we left behind a jacket (which you definitely do not need on the seychelles, probably the reason why we forgot it), but...

due to some negative reviews we expected a worst case. What we found was more than reasonable for the rate we paid. It is a simple self-catering room/apartment and that is what we have booked. The room as well as kitchen equipment were clean and everything worked fine. The cleaning lady Vanessa did a great job, organized check-in/check-out and a transfer to the jetty. ...

I had the pleasure of spending 3 nights in this beautiful place! The amazing room with the spectacular view of the sea is like a dream! The room was very spacious equipped with everything you need! The welcome drinks were so refreshing and the food starter kit gives a thoughtful touch. Solana, Philip and Shusma took really great care of us! They even arranged a Mahe tr...

As a 26 and 32 year old couple we are normally more budget, but wanted to treat ourselves. Great 1st impressions - on arrival we were greeted with mocktails, and our bags taken up to our room. The rooms are fantastic, large and spacious with a bathtub in the bedroom, and a balcony where you can have a morning coffee and be visited by the local birds. The lower level p...

We travelled to Seychelles for our honeymoon, and we're glad to have started the same with our stay at Surfers Cove in Mahe. Location is perfect and Gilbert and Barbara are the perfect hosts. The apartments have a breathtaking view. It's right next to one of the best snorkeling spots in Mahe, and we loved snorkeling there. The place is a 15 minute walk away from the n...

We booked this hotel for a 3 night stay in the Seychelles. It was such a great location - a 5 minute boat ride from the main island for easy access to/from the airport. The resort is right next to the marine park, and we enjoyed exploring that area via kayak from the resort. The views from the Cerf Island helipad are incredible. The staff was so friendly, and the dinne...

We stayed in two different hotels in Seychelles but Castello Beach was our favourite one. Make sure you book a halfboard as they have great breakfast and dinner too with wide variety. Trust me we tried several options to eat in Seychelles but Castello was far the best choice. The room is spacious and it was cleaned each and every day. The pool and its outdoor seating ...

Nunga was at spa reception-great English...and AMAZING masseuse! (Reasonable prices at spa & dining). Food very good; excellent breakfast (included in stay)& dinners can be in main dining area or (more casual) poolside. We were not alerted @ “special lobster grill poolside” on Wednesday’s, we certainly would have liked to enjoy that... we only had 1 dinner here. You n...

Firstly, the location is this hotel is fantastic...waking up to the sound of the ocean cannot be beaten. The staff were very good and tried their best to make this a stay to remember. The hotel itself is fairly dated and definitely needs an upgrade. The AC in our room leaked the entire time even though the technical team claimed to have fixed it on a number of occasi...

Must say that it was our best accomodation in seychelles, the villa is located directly on the water front and near the airport, which is really convinient if you are traveling from Mahe or to Mahe by plane. The room and all the proprety is new, very well maintained and clean. And the best part of it are the owners, Cindy and her husband are what the Seychelles are all...

We spent five nights at Village du Pecheur - a lovely villa right on the beach. THe staff was friendly and the rooms were nice and clean. We had some trouble with the water one day (something was broken) but we were (without asking for it) compensated with a nice dessert after dinner one night. The restaurant proved to be one of the best in the area and we ate several ...

This hotel was wonderful! There is warm island ambiance. Quiet with great pool and beach. I was on the second floor and could hear the ocean from my bed draped in nets - another plus for the ambiance. The room was spotless and had a balcony for relaxing complete with a daybed. No place on Praslin is far from anything so location was fine. Several good restaurants ne...

A beautiful escape in nature and Ocean We stayed in La Archipal between XX-XX’ March, 2018. It was one of the best experiences we have ever had during our various tours and travel. This resort stole our heart when we entered the complex, a very well maintained and wonderful resort by the corner of Cote D'Or beach. Ocean was seen from every corner of the resort and th...

Walking distance from anse kerlan beach. We went with the half board option and although Seychelles is not known for its vegetarian food but the staff tried their best to accommodate us, which we were grateful for. Would've been good if they replenished water bottles daily in the room. Staff were great with the exception of this one young lady at the reception who ...

We stayed as part of our honeymoon which we spent island-hopping on the Seychelles. First of all, the resort is utterly beautiful. The location is lovely, and the villas are spacious and very well-appointed. The swimming pool is gorgeous, so is the beach with lovely added touches such as hammocks. However ... we left feeling rather disappointed. Once you arrive at th...

There is nowhere on the island like this. To stay in a neoclassic style house which is right on the beach is a treat. Building on the beach is rare on Mahe, usually there is a road between properties and the sea. At Beau Vallon the length of the beach is adorned with big hotels which sprinkle the beach with their sunbeds. At Chateau Elysium you have the unique experien...

Fantastic resort and facilities and yet again with the Seychelles, some of the best and most friendly staff I have ever encountered! The sea at the time of our visit was a little too rough to swim in (absolutely no fault of the resort)! I Knew Banyan Tree beach was choppy but was surprised by this one, although it was not that bad. Villa was their panoramic view and wa...

We booked this place through Agoda well in advance so we got a decent price. However if we booked at rack rates I would have said totally over priced. That is the case with most hotels and even other stuff in Seychelles. As for the property it is ok with all the required facilities. Sadly though the service level of some of the staff is really bad. we had a bad experi...

We spent our entire honeymoon at Petit Amour and decided not to move from hotel to hotel, island to island and we are happy to have done so. We felt like guests at Michel’s and Jon’s house (the two owners), it was a very personal experience unlike any big hotel or resort in the Seychelles. They truly want your stay to be fantastic. The villa is located on top of the h...

Luxury apartment, convenient location, magnificent owner of Villa Bruce. The cost of the villa includes free use of buggies, a gym, two swimming pools, 4 comfortable beaches, use of billiards, and tennis courts. The best accommodation in the Seychelles. Excellent restaurants and supermarket Spar. We really enjoyed staying in the apartments. This is the best choice, pri...

I like the villa and the view, it was very dreamy and nice but I wished if they have a control on the pool water temperature as it was a little bit cold. The stuff were friendly and helpful. Everything were so good and I would love to visit the resort again. The only thing that i want to comment about is the food. There was no alot of choices . I recommend to have mor...

Real reviews for hotels
Best beaches anywhere in the world, no touts or anyone pestering you to buy, most friendly people, a great place to unwind and relax.
We only stayed on Mahe Island and drove around the whole Island. It was beautiful with gorgeous beaches and forest like scenary.
If you decide to stay on the main island then a visit to see the Bat man studio is a must, a guy has a pet fox bat, you can feed it and it will sit on your shoulder.
Great beaches, great environment and surroundings like the tropical rain forests and mountain range. Must visit La Dugie island and send the day there cycling especially with the family as children would love it.
The Seychelles islands are amazing. Such great landscape. And I love how the it has both a big and small feel.
Expensive but beautiful sums it up. It has a lot of "hotels", which could include someone's house. There was no tourist information at the airport.
The most intersting thing is ocean and beautiful beaches. The weakest is shops and fresh food. It`s tought to find it.
Some places in the world you go to for the food, some places for the culture/people, and other places for the landscape - this one is mainly the landscape.
Tourist trap, beautiful beaches but not city center and no food. The locals were drugged out barefoot in the bushes.
Seychelles are somewhat better than Maldives if you want to see different beaches and drive around to see different attractions.
great sea and beach, poor food, expensive, less tourist facilities such as restaurant, shopping area, night life, good islands for relaxing
Amazing!! Most relaxing place I've ever been to with such nice people. Seychelles Vs Maldives ? Seychelles wins!
