Description:
L'Habitation hotel is situated next to the beach on Cerf Island, a small island located in the middle of the protected St. Anne National Park. Nowhere else in the Seychelles will you find such a concentrated number of small islands surrounded by a coral reef, or such a rich underwater fish population. As you can imagine, Cerf Island is therefore very popular for snorkelling.
The other big draw of Cerf is its serene atmosphere, despite being just five minutes away from Mahé by boat. Cerf Island measures just 1 km (0.6 miles) in length, and is completely free from cars. The beautiful beach which borders the island acts as a 'road' of sorts, allowing you to walk (barefoot) to some of Cerf Island's best spots, including the island's two restaurants. One of these hotels is at l'Habitation, and the other is at the Cerf Island Resort. There's also a small scuba diving and snorkelling school on the island.
Due to its proximity to the main island of Mahé, this hotel is particularly popular with travellers visiting the Seychelles. Cerf Island is just 5 minutes away from the main island, and the boat transfers between the islands several times a day, allowing you to stay on Cerf and visit Mahé, complete with its colourful market in the capital. Mahé also offers a number of beaches for you to enjoy. Many of our customers love the mixture of peace and serenity on Cerf, and the accessibility of the lively main island. "Those who want to visit Mahé should stay on Cerf Island", they say.
That's not to say Cerf Island has nothing to offer. Far from it, the island has a perfect location in the middle of a tropical lagoon. L'Habitation hotel is a former coconut plantation, and has a small, but excellent, beach-side restaurant, known for its great international cuisine and its traditional Creole buffet (served at least once a week for dinner). The price for Christmas and New Year's Eve included the gala dinner. The high-class finish of the hotel is very modern, and the enormous value for money is rare for the Seychelles. This is the main reason for our special recommendation of L'Habitation.

Magical privately run house with its own charm. Perfect for us to come down and relax. The villa was fantastic, clean and very spacious. In addition, very lovingly decorated. It was definitely not the last time we were there. Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate
Very welcome, calm and serenity. The rooms are clean and the services of quality. You can take advantage of free shuttles to Mahé several times a day in case ... the deer island is an ideal island for the feeling of solitude / Robinson! A word of advice: cross the island to its other side! I leave you with the suspense ... Translation (FR): GoogleTranslate
