The best accommodations Seychelles

Ah! 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…

Between road and ocean, the Weidner open their lovely house on stilts and wooden partitions. Three of the four rooms, air conditioning free at night and for 25 SR all day, have a sea view, No. 3 with our preference. They are white, clean and all overlook a large and pleasant lounge, where one can take tea, watch TV or break the crust, many take away being situated nearby. At the end of the garden, decorated with two coconut trees, a small private beach makes it possible to dip. This guesthouse is a good address for small budgets, the price of 60 €, being one of the lowest in the archipelago. And if you speak English, you can talk with Otto, a former German engineer with a lot of things to tell about Africa, where he bourlingua so long before you know the Seychelles in 1976. Coming for five months, it never went back… Otto will explain to you, for example, that the Zulu name of his house, Lalla Panzi, means more or less in French: " Don't worry and sleep at peace ". On the other side of the road is the nine-hole golf course Mahé.

Eight rooms for eight children! One of them, Roland Rassool, has grown up and turned the house into a boarding house. He and Natacha welcome not only development workers who are passing through or waiting for accommodation, but also "low-budget" tourists who appreciate both the "beautiful air" of the place (at the foot of the cliffs of the Three Brothers), on the heights of Victoria, and the proximity of the town centre (ten minutes on foot) and the botanical garden. Its seven air-conditioned rooms are clean and have all been renovated.

A quarter of an hour's drive north of Victoria, this Mediterranean-style villa has just a few air-conditioned rooms, admittedly of basic comfort, but at this price it's a bargain. Rooms 5, 6, 7 and 8 are the best, as they all have a view. The lounge and dining room, in local wood, are representative of a Seselwa interior. From the pleasant terrace, the horizon opens onto Île Sainte-Anne. In short, if you don't want to spend a fortune on your B&B, you can drop off your backpack at the friendly home of Monsieur and Madame Brioche.

A welcoming Seychelles, Mrs. Rakic receives her clients in a-room guesthouse with a family atmosphere, certainly unpretentious but clean and well maintained on the heights of Beau Vallon. For the beach, it is opposite: just cross the road. Possibility of organising your excursions, and car rental (from 35 € per day).
