CERF ISLAND RESORT
Read moreHere is a fiefdom of wealthy Robinsons with 24 luxurious villas (from 80m2 to 100m2) of wood on stilts with palm roofs. Like them, an infinity pool, two very good restaurants and a spa blend into the exuberant vegetation. You can also relax in the emerald ocean, a beach curving below the pool. Kayaks, snorkels and fins are available, and after a picnic on one of the surrounding islands, you can have dinner served on the beach. This Cerf Island Resort is definitely an excellent value for money.
L’HABITATION CERF ISLAND
Read moreSurrounded by coconut palms, this charming planter's house features 14 air-conditioned rooms with balcony or terrace, most with sea views. Set back from the main building are two small villas (prefer Hibiscus to Frangipanier, closer to the water). As for swimming, once past the pool, you come to the beach, where you can take advantage of the canoes, masks and snorkels provided free of charge by the house. The house also offers snorkeling sessions (for a fee) to discover the marine park aboard its boat.
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.
