Villa Laure (Praslin)

Very nice and clean place equiped with everything what we needed. Very nice and friendly owner and service lady willing to help with different questions. I would recommend to rent a car in Praslin. Easy traffic. It was no so difficult to get use for "left driving". You can reach every place by car and I think it´s most comfortable and cost effective way of exploring the island.

Chello's Villa (Mahé)

Chello's was our first accommodation - and what a pleasant introduction! Our host, Marcelin (pardon any incorrect spelling) looked after us as if we were old friends. Our apartment was clean and fresh, and so perfectly situated just across the road from the beach! With fresh coconut drinks on arrival, to loungers on the verandah, a well-equipped self-catering kitchen and a beautiful bathroom, our first few days just passed by too quickly.

Villa Bananier (Praslin)

Bananier, billed as 3-star hotel on Google Maps, was an ideal base from which to explore Praslin and surrounds. A very short walk from shops, beach and restaurants, we wanted for nothing. The airconditioner worked well, the room was dark and quiet, and the shower delivered plenty hot water. After eating out most nights, we thoroughly enjoyed one dinner prepared by the hotel, with the flavourful fish and fresh vegetables delighting our palates.

L'Habitation (Cerf Island)

L'Habitation helped make Cerf Island our favourite and most relaxing time in the Seychelles. From Dominic's diffident and friendly welcome at the Eden Island pier and his expert boat-handling skills, through to us being unloaded at the pier several days later, we had no complaints. With no shops on the island I booked the half-board option - and we reveled in the meals prepared for us each evening. (One can catch their ferry boat several times a day to do shopping at Eden Island or visit Victoria/Mahe at cost of SCR 100 pp return. The same meals prepared for guests can also be ordered as desired.) My top tip here - use the jetty to walk most of the way over the shallows and snorkel from there.

Elilia (Mahé)

Elilia was a pleasant base at near Beau Vallon for our last few days in the Seychelles. Close enough to walk to the beach and nearby shops and retaurants (and do visit the little gelato / ice cream shop "O Saveurs des Iles" (Google Maps 9CRJ+3J6) for a delectable treat!), and with lovely kitchenette, the apartment filled our needs perfectly. One caveat - the steep hill back to the apartment can be daunting, especially at night and with a full stomach!

Denis Private Island (Denis Island)

From the moment we landed, it felt like stepping into another world — a place where time slows down, nature takes center stage, and you’re gently reminded of what it means to truly disconnect and just be. After a short flight, we were greeted with warm island smiles and a refreshing welcome drink. And then — wow. The island took my breath away. Powdery white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and not a single distraction in sight. No TV, no mobile signal, and we didn’t miss them for a second. The soothing sounds of the ocean and the birds were amazing and all the soundtrack we needed. One of the highlights for me was the food — fresh fish straight from the sea, homemade yoghurt, and fruit and vegetables harvested from the island’s own organic gardens. Every meal felt like a celebration: thoughtful, beautifully plated, and absolutely delicious. The staff were beyond amazing — warm, attentive, and effortlessly intuitive. They knew our names, remembered my preferences, and made us feel like cherished guests, part of the island family. We spent our days barefoot and blissfully free, cycling through forest trails. Whether it was diving with our fantastic intructor Charles, exploring the island’s lush interiors, or simply soaking in the untouched beauty of its beaches, every moment felt magical. What made the experience even more special was the island’s deep commitment to conservation and sustainability. Knowing that everything is done with care and respect — for the land, the wildlife, and the community — made the entire stay even more meaningful. Leaving was genuinely hard. Denis isn’t just a paradize or a beautiful destination — it’s a feeling. A sense of peace, simplicity, and connection that stays with you. If you’re dreaming of a place to truly unplug and reconnect with nature (and yourself), Denis is everything you’ve been looking for.

Bella Vista (Mahé)

We had globally a good stay in this villa. Positive points: The view from the villa is superb. The villa offers great amenities. The owner is very friendly and attentive. We had some fruit, water, and bread waiting for us upon arrival, which was greatly appreciated. Points we liked less: There is no air conditioning in the living areas, and it was too hot. Only the bedrooms (upstairs) are air-conditioned. The beds are very hard (too hard for us). We had no privacy — the owner would show up at any time for various reasons without notice, walking around the house and even coming in through the living room window (one time I was just coming out of the shower — thankfully, I already had my underwear on).

Crown Beach Hotel (Mahé)

Fabulous!!

Buisson Guest House (La Digue)

We stayed 4 nights at this lovely guesthouse — our first accommodation during the trip — and we absolutely loved it! We were warmly welcomed and treated with genuine kindness by our hosts, Doris and Charles, who were always ready to help with advice and recommendations. Perfectly located just about 5 minutes from the jetty terminal, it’s an excellent base for exploring the island. The area is very quiet, and the garden is absolutely charming and beautifully maintained. We stayed in the Hibiscus room and were delighted, especially with the small private terrace where we relaxed every evening. Everything was spotless. Breakfast was rich, fresh, and delicious, prepared with care every morning. You can also rent bicycles directly from the property, which is very convenient. We truly felt at home here — such a cozy and peaceful vibe. Thank you for everything! If we ever return to La Digue, we would love to stay here again.

LA Apartments (Praslin)

We stayed here for 3 nights, our second stop during the trip, and we really loved it. Since it was quite hot when we arrived, we were welcomed with fresh fruits and coconut — such a thoughtful gesture. We were deeply impressed by the hospitality of the hosts; everything was perfect, yet they were always attentive and even a bit anxious to make sure everything met our expectations. The apartment is new, spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you might need. The location, right by the forest, is very peaceful — you can hear the birds singing, which makes it even more special. Within just 6–7 minutes on foot, you reach the beautiful Côte d’Or beach, as well as restaurants, ATMs, and supermarkets. Thank you for the wonderful days we spent there — we truly recommend this place with all our hearts!

Lazio Beach Residence (Praslin)

Lazio Beach Residence – our final stop and the place that truly stole our hearts ❤️ It’s hard to find the right words to describe how beautiful everything was — far beyond our expectations. It truly felt like a dream come true. The property is fantastic; from the moment you step in, you feel special. The garden is stunning, everything is spotless, and the apartment... simply amazing: new, very spacious, beautifully arranged, fully equipped with everything you could need, and impeccably clean — with daily housekeeping. And all this just 20 steps away from the magnificent Anse Lazio. The place itself takes your breath away. Everything was perfect! But what made it truly magical were our wonderful hosts. We were overwhelmed by their warmth and kindness from the very beginning until the moment we left. On our last day, we had a late evening flight, and Audrey went out of her way to let us stay until the evening before our departure. Audrey, Alyssa, and James — thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for us! ???? We truly hope to return one day...

Villa Charme De L'ile (La Digue)

This was by far our most FAVOURITE accommodation. The decor of the whole place was amazing. So much attention to detail every time I looked there was something else to notice. The room we had was beyond spacious, had everything we needed and more the balcony area was amazing with comfy seating areas. The air conditioning and WiFi were great too. The pool/social area was beautiful. The staff were so attentive and welcoming . I generally have nothing bad or any improvements to give as it was a literal dream :) thankyou

Agnes Cottage (La Digue)

Perfect accommodation just a few minutes from the beautiful Anse Source d'Argent beach. Agnes was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the place was spotless with everything we needed. Upon our arrival, bikes were already waiting for us, so we didn't have to arrange anything ourselves. Everything was so close on bikes! We will definitely miss having breakfast on the terrace at Agnes's place – it was such a lovely way to start the day.

Maka Bay Residence (Mahé)

A place with a breathtaking view and an incredibly kind host. The location was simply stunning, and the hospitality we received from the owner made our stay even more special. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we truly felt at home. We can’t recommend this place enough – a perfect getaway!

Lucy's Guesthouse (La Digue)

STORY Seychelles (Mahé)

Still trying to find fault with it! Expensive - yes. Food - good Grounds and beachfront + reef ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Location - nearer Bel Ombre, but this is an advantage as only shared beach with odd local rather than other tourists Room - comfortable anf practical Staff - excellent...especially pool area and reception Would only comment that the remainder of the deposit paid has a delay of a week before reimbursement. Never encountered this before

Casa Gem (Mahé)

Our stay was simply perfect. The place is beautifull, spotlessly clean, and located in a truly stunning spot with breathtaking views. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcome. The warm hospitality, friendliness, and helpfulness of the staff made our experience even more special. A peaceful and unforgettable stay in a place that truly feels like paradise.

Mazu (La Digue)

For a stay on La Digue, this guesthouse is likely among the best options. Our room was impeccably clean. The owners, along with their staff from Nepal, were wonderfully kind and consistently helpful throughout our visit. Bicycles are provided for an extra cost. Breakfast is straightforward but very enjoyable, offering fresh fruits, toasts, jams, and made-to-order eggs – seriously, don't miss the omelets, they're incredible! The food is delicious overall, though a local smoked fish option would elevate it further. The garden, while small, is beautifully maintained. The entire guesthouse truly shines with its cleanliness

Chez Benoit Self Catering (Mahé)

nice big apartment with well equiped kitchen and free drinking water. Daniela and her husband were very nice.4-star because there was no housekeeping during our 4-night stay.

Felicie Cottage & Residence (Seychelles) (Mahé)

Where can I start. Once when we arrived at the villa Emma and the staff couldn't do enough always smiling and waving. The villa alone needs a 5 out 5. It was outstanding in every way possible We was in the wow factor with all the access rooms and pool area. The owners suprised my wife on her birthday. When we returned back after a day out they decorated the bed with swans out of towels and Happy Birthday in leafs on the bed with a bottle of bubbly. Later that day Emma turned up with a smashing birthday cake. We had the breakfast in the morning of my wife's birthday and didn't charge us. I can only say what a fantastic Villa it is, Seychelles was breathtaking but the owners of Felicia cottages just put that cherry on top of the cake and made it extra special I forgot the young man's name who did the breakfast but each afternoon he would come round with different taster local food. Thank you Emma Wish I could give it 100 out 100 stars

Bliss Hotel Praslin (Praslin)

Really friendly service and helpful staff. The garden villas were wonderful. Great central restaurant and bar and convenient for taking the bus around the island from. Clean comfortable and spacious. Our first stop in the Seychelles and very happy with this as the choice.

Le Repaire Boutique Hotel (La Digue)

Such a pretty elegant room and stepping straight out onto a wonderful beach. Excellent beach bar and so lovely sitting out on the beach in the evening. So relaxing and bike hire at the hotel making it convenient to get around La Digue. Great breakfast choices and Italian restaurant in the evening. Loved our stay here!

Sunbird Villas (Mahé)

A real gem! The most fabulous views from the veranda off the room including great sunsets. This place is hidden away on a slope so a real hideaway. The staff were so helpful and we hired a car here so it was a great base from which to explore Mahe. The most spacious well appointed rooms. Fabulous!

Blue Lagoon (Mahé)

Everything was great.

Patatran Village Hotel (La Digue)

Kind, smiling service, delicious food, beautiful beach! We will be back!

Le Chevalier Bay Guesthouse (Praslin)

We received a friendly welcome upon arrival, and everything about how things work was explained clearly. The room itself was quite sensitive to noise (you could hear neighbours/outside easily) and felt rather dated. However, the room and beds were spacious and clean, and it provided all the basic necessities you'd need. The breakfast offered was quite modest. The dinner menu is small and features very similar dishes, lacking variety. We also found them to be a bit inflexible or complicated when we had special requests. On the positive side, the location is superb for accessing the beach. Being close to Anse Lazio, which is a fantastic beach, makes the location perfect in that regard.

Island Bungalow (La Digue)

After a short wait upon arrival, the hosts appeared and gave us a friendly welcome. The bungalow itself was fantastic – we were impressed by how huge it was, with plenty of rooms and beds. It was also very clean. Bicycles were conveniently available to rent directly on-site, which was helpful, although each bike seemed to have its own minor issues or quirks. The breakfast provided was quite basic/modest. The hosts were wonderful – very friendly, helpful, cheerful, funny, and full of life. However, there was one significant drawback: a rooster nearby called out to the hens literally all night long. It was impossible to ignore and definitely impacted our sleep.

Blue Lagoon (Mahé)

I find it hard to believe this is supposed to be only a 3-star hotel. We were incredibly impressed and, in my opinion, it definitely deserves a higher classification. The hotel (or room/unit) felt very modern, stylish, clean, spacious, and comfortable. We simply felt superb staying there. The breakfast offered a wide variety, and you could easily put together a meal according to your own needs and preferences, delivered direct to our room. The host, Rachel, was fantastic – super friendly and helpful. She was always reachable and consistently found a solution for any request or concern we had. Her approach was truly commendable and professional. The location is very close to the beach, which is perfect for enjoying beautiful sunsets. However, the beach itself wasn't a highlight compared to those on other islands we visited. We found the water to be murky and very, very shallow, and there were no fish or corals to see there. Despite the beach specifics, the quality of the hotel and the service from Rachel were outstanding.

Sea View Lodge (Praslin)

extrem zuvorkommendes & hilfreiches personal, netter chef, ruhige lage fernab vom trubel (trotzdem gut gelegen), schönes & gut ausgestattetes apartment, das angeschlossene restaurant hatte mit das beste curry unserer ganzen reise

Anse Grosse Roche Beach Villa (La Digue)

ruhig gelegen, schöner strand vor der tür, leider waren die fahrräder in einem unbrauchbaren zustand (wurden aber direkt am nächsten tag getauscht) und die klimaanlage war leider nur im schlafzimmer vorhanden; sehr schönes & geräumiges badezimmer, kiosk nebenan war super

The Salty Palms (Mahé)

beste unterkunft unserer reise: außergewöhnliches apartment mit wunderschönem blick, sehr sauber, tolle anlage; rosie & joel sind beide so bemüht & gastfreundlich und werten den aufenthalt extrem auf. die lage am rande von beau vallon war ein super kompromiss aus ruhig aber zentrum dennoch fußläufig erreichbar. würden die unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen und empfehlen sie unbedingt weiter!

Agnes Cottage (La Digue)

Very good place to stay on La Digue. Perfect location. Agnes is the perfect host! We will definitely be back.
