Anyone looking for a calm, modern accommodation on Mahé with a beautiful view and close proximity to the beach should definitely consider a stay at La Trouvaille. This accommodation, roughly translated as “The Discovery”, offers various apartments for solo travellers or couples as well as a freestanding villa with 2 bedrooms for couples or a small family. The houses are located on a clifftop on the beautiful western coast of Mahé and the balconies offer stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The other side offers views of beautiful green mountains, and there is a tropical garden that runs the whole way around the property.

The air-conditioned apartments and villa are all tasteful and modern in terms of interiors. Natural colours and materials such as warm wooden features create a neat, relaxing atmosphere, rounded off by various living accessories. The bedrooms offer large, comfortable beds and plenty of space for your belongings, while the modern, open-plan kitchens in the different accommodation options offer quality appliances, ideal for amateur cooks to prepare delicious meals during their stay. The dining table or balcony are both excellent choices for a delicious meal together, while the living room offers various chairs and sofas. The interior is rounded off nicely by the chic bathrooms with walk-in showers and the villa with its extra bathtub as well.

The surrounding area can easily be explored on foot, and offers attractions such as Anse la Mouche beach, various shops and restaurants, and takeaways as well. That said, it’s worth getting a rental car to explore the rest of Mahé’s beautiful western coast. Here, you’ll find stunning beaches, often completely deserted, and some of which offer various leisure activities too. If you’d rather explore some nature then why not pay a visit to the Morne Seychellois National Mark, or try out one of the many hiking tours on the island.
