AUGERINE SMALL HOTEL

Found in the coastline vegetation between the popular Berjaya and the magnificent neo-colonial house of a Seychellois, this two-storey house run by the Hoare family is named after one of three varieties of hibiscus. Its fifteen air-conditioned rooms - twelve standard and three junior suites (for four or five people) - all have a terrace or a balcony. Spacious and furnished with local bwa, they are all comfortable, with a fridge and a safe. The service is fast and friendly. You will feel good in this quiet little hotel whose pleasant terrace -dining room was built around a four centuries old takamaka tree. Dinner is served on polished bwa tables in a straw hut on the sand for just €20. Not far from the beach, at 6 p.m., go to the other side of the ring of trees for a supreme sunset in Silhouette.
