The best hotels Seychelles

From the entrance, a large reception with its wooden frame, fountains and large sofas sets the tone. In the same spirit, the superb swimming pool, planted in the middle of a coconut grove, invites you to sunbathe with its wooden surrounds. Once night falls, after enjoying a meal in one of the 3 restaurants (including an excellent Thai) or having your feet in the sand, head for the 124 cosy rooms, all of which have a balcony or terrace.

In front of the Black Widow's reserve, Charles and Asia Louis offer five clean rooms with terrace. They are air-conditioned, simple, rather pleasant and equipped with a refrigerator. Half board is good value for money.

rooms designed on the first floor of the Grégoire's Complex with supermarket, away from the fee of the La Digue Lodge. Air-conditioned and well equipped (satellite TV, minibar, kettle, hair-dryer), these 30 m ² rooms are without charm, even with paintings by Barbara Jenson, whose workshop is located close to the hotel. Some of them have a balcony and are on the street where there is always something to look at. Certainly, no sea on the horizon (one feels a little locked), but the residents of these rooms can swim in the pool of the neighbouring lodge and register for daily excursions at sea around the nearby islands. In view of the average price ratio at La Digue, it is a bit expensive for all the same, especially since the reception is very average.

This charming establishment in Anse Royale has an enchanting setting. It is located in the heart of the village and is a good option to put your bags in the area. Five spacious self-catering apartments await you... on the beach side of course! Each one has a nice living room, one or two air-conditioned bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a shower room and wi-fi. And there's nothing like borrowing one of the kayaks graciously left at your disposal to go snorkeling around the Chauve Souris island after a little sunbathing on the deckchair.

Always enjoying an authentic welcome, French tourists are many to take steps in this small hotel with modern rooms. They are all air-conditioned, equipped with a minibar, TV, safe and furnished in the local style. It is certainly preferable to choose the half board formula, both for its attractive price and for lambyans. Good Creole and Asiatiaque cuisine, and live band on Friday evening. Free transfers to the jetty.

«This box is my old age stick», assures Babi, Robert Labiche of his real name, but Babi for everyone. A playful and playful character, which in years'residence, in Darros and in Félicité, has surrounded many people as illustrious as wealthy, from Dodi Al Fayed to Tony Blair by Richard Branson. A modern villa as Creole in the design as in the decoration, and which Babi rents the seven air-conditioned rooms (with fridge) and, for 25 € more only, it is dinner included in the large guest table, of course cooked by the master dish, which also offers his entire house. Ah, skipped shrimp, Babi version: Andy and Richard, his two sons who live in Paris, often have to think…

These four bungalows with a beautiful wooden terrace, deckchairs and a postcard blue sea view are an excellent option just a few minutes south of Anse Royale, just after the Cinnamon branch. They have a beautifully decorated living room and bedroom and are fully equipped (kitchenette, Wifi, TV, safe, etc.). The bathroom is also superb, but the must remains the sublime view of the Indian Ocean which can be enjoyed from the bed in the middle of the room. Barbecue and kayaks are also available.

Located on the seafront, overlooking the north from the jetty, this Moonlight Beach Villa is a good plan to put its suitcases in a friendly setting. It is centrally located and offers 9 double rooms (6 with balconies), while a little kitsch. But, above all, we go to the sight, which plunges into the ocean. And the reception is very pleasant, which doesn't spoil anything. Furthermore, you can discover the few Creole and international specialities offered by the à la carte restaurant and evening. 

Directly on Baie Lazare, this five-star establishment stands out as one of the island's most upscale. Planted in the heart of an exceptional site, with its cliffs and lush vegetation, the building's imposing yet airy structure houses three restaurants and a bar. Around it, a spa and six buildings house the 148 state-of-the-art rooms, decorated in contemporary style. A wide range of activities are on offer, including tennis, snorkeling, diving, billiards and yoga.

This 5-star resort is first and foremost eco-friendly with (among other things) its solar panels and wastewater recycling... It is also luxurious with its 41 villas (90^m2), on stilts and offering a dazzling view of the ocean from their terraces. A presidential suite and 14 Grand Ocean View Pools (with private pools) complete the offer. Northolme also offers a Silhouette View Spa, a stunning private mini-beach and spectacular 360-degree views from one of its three restaurants.

The only option for accommodation, this Exclusive Collection resort has sublimated the archipelago's natural assets to offer top-of-the-range services in harmony with nature. Hiking, scuba diving, glass-bottom kayaking, yoga, discovery of the local ecosystem, catamaran sailing - you'll have no time to get bored before a well-deserved rest in rooms decorated in designer style and inspired by local crafts. The club also offers non-residents the chance to spend the day here, enjoying the facilities and lunch (SR 2,000, including transfers).

This large tourism carrier has 161 luxury rooms (furnished balcony, king size bed, etc.) and a huge 700 ^m2 swimming pool, the largest in the country. The Spa (5,800 ^m2 all the same!) has also conquered its world with its 9 rooms, two saunas, hammam, gym, swimming pool and tennis court. Parents can also entrust their children to the club reserved for them and enjoy the two restaurants. Finally, the Gecko Bar, all dressed in white, is a great place to sip a cocktail while enjoying the unforgettable sunset.

Right up there, on the northern tip of Mahé, the Carana is an establishment of great standing. The 40 chalets, 12 of which have a private infinity pool, offer noble materials and grey and pastel tones. From each chalet, there is of course a breathtaking view of the ocean. An ocean that can also be enjoyed from the hotel's beach. Unless one prefers the superb infinity pool overlooking it. Of course, a state-of-the-art spa awaits you and, after a drink at the beach bar, you can sit down at the Orizon, the (good) table at the Carana.

Bliss is an attitude, more than a hotel. This is in any case the slogan of the place opened in 2009, but for once it is not a hollow formula. Indeed, the place breathes well-being and zen. In this hotel built in the 1960 s and recently renovated by an interior architect, you can choose between eight rooms on the beach and eleven bedrooms on the small hill. All rooms have a sea view. The decoration is being refined: wood, white hues, natural materials… At the reception, the tone is given, with a huge angle sofa that invites you to relax in front of a panoramic window offering a magnificent view.

On the side of the common spaces, a private beach, a pontoon, a natural sea water pool, des beds to lazing while watching the ocean… And a spa, because Bliss is intended above all to relax. A «zen and natural» side that can be found in the fresh, delicious breakfast and also served on the terrace with sea view. Excellent address whose only defect - which is also a quality - is that it is a little a in Beauvallon (5-7 minutes by car).

Beautifully situated in the vegetation of Anse Forbans, in the south of the island, the hotel, which doesn't deny its vacation club feel with its beautiful infinity pool, has 30 tastefully decorated rooms with breathtaking sea views. Four have Jacuzzis on the terrace, and all have en-suite bathrooms. With a spa, a bar and a restaurant offering a different buffet every evening (Creole on Fridays), a dream vacation awaits.

Introducing the latest luxury hotel in the Seychelles! Opened in March 2023, the Laïla has changed the face of Anse Royale and offers a pleasant haven of peace. Although it's not on the beach (there's only the small road to cross), everything revolves around the establishment's superb swimming pool. The 84 rooms (including 8 suites) are beautifully decorated and all have a small terrace. The Laïla also boasts its own spa (open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. for outside guests), a gym, two restaurants and three bars.

While L'Escale Resort, which opened its (luxurious) doors in 2021, is not located on Eden Island, its pontoon is right across the street on Roche Caiman. As on the island, the establishment does not have a beach but offers many excursions at sea from its marina. For a swim and a bubble after a day of sightseeing, head for the beautiful swimming pool or the high quality spa of the establishment, which also offers 20 high standard rooms and a table d'hôte.

At Captain's Villa, you're always warmly welcomed (by a charming Seychellois family) and can choose between double rooms, family rooms or 2-bedroom apartments (with fully-equipped kitchens). With its very attractive prices, this is a good option for discovering this wild corner of Mahé, where lovers of solitude and snorkeling will find plenty to do. All you have to do is cross the road to enjoy the superb Anse Forbans! In short, an address we warmly recommend.

The nine spacious air-conditioned rooms have a nice terrace overlooking the small garden of the hostel, which is home to a (small) swimming pool. The establishment of Mickaël Lavigne, who took over the address of the late and famous Jean-Claude Plumas (known as Plume), offers a friendly, family and intimate atmosphere, where children can even enjoy a small playground. Live travellers, mainly French-speaking, make up a large part of the clientele. In short, a great place to put your things down and set off to discover the island.

This is the first hotel to open on Eden Island. The reception area of this chic and uncluttered establishment is open to the four winds and its pools invite you to relax. The 88 rooms have all the comforts you would expect from such a hotel: spacious and designed, they are a perfect retreat after a day's stroll. The restaurant, which serves excellent breakfasts, proposes a well-felt Creole and international menu. Finally, the infinity pool facing Mahé is delightful, especially at sunset facing the marina.

Here's a discreet, endearing hideaway on the road to Sans-Souci (transfers provided). A path winds through the jungle to the Durup family home. A beautiful modern villa with 4 bedrooms for guests in search of refined sobriety. Guests can also take advantage of the small swimming pool before plunging into the city, a quarter of an hour away by car. As for the table d'hôte, it's exquisite.

Some suites even have a small piece of garden. The Beach Pool Villas have an outdoor shower and a small private pool. There is no shortage of activities (Sesel Spa, tennis court, gym, beach volleyball, petanque, yoga, paddle, kayak), while the children's club takes care of your kids.

We fell in love with this beautiful residence opened by a Franco-Sychellois couple, Jean-Louis and Mary-Anna, where welcome and conviviality are kings. A building of the same architecture as Kenwyn House was built to welcome guests. Here, the trees are kings and the rooms are named Santol, Albizia or Eucalyptus. All rooms have a refined decoration with a small touch of objects found in flea markets, and a view of the eucalyptus forest. The terrace, where breakfast is served, offers a 180° view with the sea in the foreground.

This is an unusual address, since it is the old radio station on the island. Known in the past for its café, it offers six rooms and a villa that can accommodate five people. All of them are very pure and correspond to the seven virtues: Abundance, Grace, Humility, Gratitude, Integrity, Acceptance and Libra. Here, it is Zen attitude that prevails! Everything is brought together to reconcile body, mind and soul, with a spa, a health center, a swimming pool and a beautiful yoga room with a view of Victoria.

This Fisherman's Cove Resort (the ex-Méridien was bought out in 2021) is a tranquil establishment with 68 air-conditioned rooms and suites, beautifully furnished in teak. What can we say about the impressive palm-roofed lobby, which juts out like the prow of a boat, or the infinity pool overlooking the bay? Simply magnificent. Snorkeling sessions are offered by this establishment, which is also involved in preserving the seabed by replanting coral on the reef. You can even adopt one to follow its evolution.

«View, vision and vision»: the remark of Fabienne and Patrick, on the guestbook, proves… well seen. Perched in 1998 at the north end of the dazzling Royal Cove, and now operated by a Mauritian group, this small hotel has a large terrace with swimming pool, a magnificent panorama in Cinémascope on the so-called bay, in the middle of which Saint Joseph's bell tower and the little Bald Island are taking place. Its ten rooms (five deluxe, four super deluxe and one Day Room convenient on departure days) with royal view, are air-conditioned and spacious, tastefully decorated and well equipped, with safe, minibar, kettle, TV and Wi-Fi. Fifty metres lower, facing the adorable Souris Island, a pleasant small beach allows you to lazing under coconut trees and throw yourself into Great blue.

Designed by painter Andrew Gee, this charming little address, which houses four units, deserves to be better known. A house in the midst of the lush nature of Baie Lazare, on the road to Anse Soleil, that will delight budget travelers on the west coast. Pretty decor, a kitchen, WiFi, peace and quiet and a 10-minute walk to the beach (be careful, it's very steep): what more could you ask for? Andrew and his team also offer an excellent welcome. An address worth discovering, although you'll need a car.
