FAIRY-TERN CHALET
Read moreSuperb view of the one of the two large studios of this high white chalet roof roof, planted almost on the beach, facing Mahé and Eden Island. Operated by Kevin Horner, this Fairy-Tern Séduits really seduced us. Not only because it opens onto the beach and beyond on a beautiful horizon in blue and green, but also because at this price (€ 147 for two and € 50 per extra bed) it proves to be one of the best value for money in the archipelago. Spacious and tasteful with furniture (rattan, glass, polished granite), relatively well equipped (small TV, safe, kitchenette), these two air-conditioned studios with terrace or balcony are neighbours of Hotel L'Habitation, where it is possible to dine. A good address for who wants to live Deer in self-management… if it is for transport, since you are still dependent on shuttles for Victoria, just a quarter of a boat.
SABLES D'OR
Read moreThis beautiful establishment in Beau Vallon offers 4 luxury apartments facing the sea (which can be enjoyed from the balconies), perfectly equipped with noble materials and great taste. All are at least 100m2 in size, with fully equipped kitchens and breathtaking views. Kayaks, paddles, deckchairs on the beach and a barbecue area at the back are also available. The establishment has opened an annex at the rear (9 apartments) with the same type of services, but without the sea view. Excursions can also be organized. Discounts in low season.
CLEF DES ÎLES
Read moreIt's hard to get any closer to the sea... This small eco-friendly establishment (no plastic in particular) of 4 apartments is simply set on the beach. The terraces of the rooms offer direct views of the ocean, an additional luxury for these pretty self-catering pied-à-terre, all dressed in white and wood. At sunset or upon awakening, these accommodations offer a magical view. The service is up to par: in addition to the snorkeling equipment available, we can also set up deckchairs on the beach. Excellent address.
HANNEMAN HOLIDAY RESIDENCE
Read moreA 5 minute walk from the beach, this apart-hotel is a very good option, especially for families. Equipped kitchen, washing machine, TV, air conditioning and Wifi equip all these spacious apartments with terrace (35 m2, 65 m2, 145 m2 or duplex-2 bedrooms of 135 m2) with excellent tasteful decoration (Italian shower, basins, wenge and noble materials). They are cleaned daily. You will also be able to relax around the swimming pool or enjoy a barbecue made by you.
LA RÉSIDENCE
Read moreBuilt on a hillside facing the bay, this Residence offers two types of accommodation. To the 5 studios fitted out in a modern building, with a kitchenette, Wi-Fi and a terrace, we prefer the 3 simple and spacious Creole-style villas (with a perfect varangue, TV, Wifi), certainly costing double, but with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, therefore ideal for a family or friends. House cleaning every day, linen provided and barbecue area available. And the friendly owner Paul Hodoul is very attentive to his guests!
BEAU VALLON RESIDENCE
Read moreIn a pretty yellow house of modern construction, the charming owner Aline offers well decorated apartments for rent (on the first floor, with Wifi and cable TV) with a large living room. In the heart of the local and traditional houses, the apartments are located only 3 minutes walk from the beach where water sports are available. Cleaning is done daily (except Sundays) and towels are provided. Reservations for a minimum of three nights and excellent value for money.
ROMANCE BUNGALOWS
Read moreSeven air-conditioned, simple and clean studios with kitchenette, TV and safe for this Romantic Bungalow. At the reception, the smile, sincere, is always on schedule. It is a good idea for you to forget the few defects of the place, especially the noisy nature of the Villéa chamber. Positive partie, the Romantic Bungalow is just steps away from the beach, just to cross the road to find the sand. It is better to reserve, so the small business of Laurette Mancienne turns very well, its price being true very attractive for such a situation. On the table, the nearby Boat House restaurant offers its 320-SR Creole buffet and the Proche pizza, even closer, can feed those who don't want to cook in their studette. Guests also benefit from a discount on sea travel, just as they benefit from a special price on car rental (€ 40 per day for a manual box and € 50 for an automatic fee).
CHALETS D’ANSE FORBANS
Read moreScattered in the nearby tropical garden, you will find twelve chalets of good comfort (with safe), with a kitchen corner, terrace, air-conditioned bedroom and a living room with rattan furniture where an extra bed can be added. For families, two of these villas have two rooms (210 €). The value for money ratio is excellent: living in the middle of 900 m 2 of garden in a real bungalow proves to be more than pleasant. The ocean on one side, the lush seychelles reliefs of the other… It's nice, but it's fun! It is therefore a good pied-à-terre de mer (which is reachable in a few steps), especially frequented by Germans and French. Possibility to rent a car from 40 €.
L'ÎLOT BEACH CHALETS
Read moreHere's a well-kept secret! At the end of a small path leading down to the ocean from the main road, four charming apartments (for two to four people) await you, on the ground or second floor, with direct access to the beach. A virtually private beach, which can also be enjoyed from any of the terraces hidden between the palm trees, and which also offers excellent snorkeling opportunities. The promise of a secluded stay in a unique and idyllic setting! Car required.
ANSE SOLEIL RESORT
Read moreA good address for those who don't necessarily want to live in the water and have their own car. On the rugged road leading to the delightful beaches of Petite Anse and Anse Soleil (2 km away, after all!) and in a tropical setting, Paula offers two two-bedroom self-catering apartments, with terrace and breathtaking panoramic view over Anse à la Mouche. The air-conditioned apartments also offer good value for money. A good base camp for those who want to enjoy the west coast on a budget.
LE PTI PAYOT
Read moreAh! Sunset on Beau Vallon Bay… Certainly unforgettable, the heights of this steep hill on which Calva Evers, the former international windsurfing champion, hung the five houses of his very flowery Pti Payot with breathtaking views. Each with an air-conditioned bedroom (3 € plus), equipped kitchen and living room (with trunk), but a nice decoration. The only charm? That of the panoramic terrace, No 3 being by far the most open on the beautiful horizon. For 5 €, Thérèse will add a folding bed if necessary. For this is the great interest of the establishment: its price: 100 € for four, hard to do better! And to feed everyone, that's to go shopping, it's 500 m lower, Beau Vallon road, at Mike's Store. Given the coast to go back, if you walk, better don't forget the bread…
BEACH COTTAGES
Read moreHere's a great place to stay in Bel Ombre, just a ten-minute walk from the center of Beau Vallon. Set in a large garden overlooking the ocean and Silhouette Island, Beach Cottages offers spacious apartments (for two to four people), with a large bedroom, fully-equipped kitchen and large furnished terrace. Deckchairs, a barbecue and kayaks are also available. Above all, the garden offers direct access to a small stretch of private beach, ideal for lazing around waiting for the superb sunset.

There's a choice of stylish, modernly decorated one-bedroom (classic or superior) or two-bedroom chalets with private pools (€600 for four people). All have fully-equipped kitchens and superb private terraces. A highly recommended address for a stay in the heart of nature in this wild corner of Mahé. We love it!
VILLA SEA MONKEY
Read moreThe Sea Monkey villa offers exceptional facilities to those lucky enough to set down their suitcases here. On the northern tip of the island, it's a pleasure to enjoy the superb infinity pool and the small beach below! Relaxation sessions and sunsets promise to be fantastic. Inside the villa's 400m2, the refined decor is always in excellent taste, and the panoramic views are breathtaking, including in the four bedrooms where local wood rubs shoulders with Egyptian cotton. Pure luxury!
