About The Seychelles

When you’ve finished reading this sentence take a moment to close your eyes and conjure up your idea of a tropical island paradise....What you imagined is probably very close to what the Seychelles looks like: a scattering of islands and coral atolls in the bright blue Indian Ocean lined with the sort of beaches that warrant the word ‘perfect’, and featuring things like soft, bright white coral sand, palm trees swaying in a breeze, the odd interesting looking granite boulder to mark a headland, and a backdrop of lush, cool jungle. And when it comes to searching for the best places to stay in the Seychelles you’ll find them tucked in amongst this setting.

The Seychelles isn’t the most affordable holiday destination, its private island resorts are made exclusive by their price-tags, and when you arrive at the immigration desk you will need to prove that you have accommodation booked, and possibly paid for, for the duration of your stay. But our list of the best places to stay in the Seychelles does have a good range of price options, including a few hotel recommendations we consider very affordable — considering this is paradise.

Where to Stay - which island?

Mahé is the largest island in the group, it has the capital Victoria, the only international airport in the Seychelles and some seriously fabulous resorts, restaurants, and of course, beaches. Mahé is as busy as the Seychelles gets, has the liveliest nightlife, the majority of the cultural sites, the biggest choice when it comes to shopping and it also has the largest, most dramatic interior.
Praslin is the second largest island in the group, still based on granite, so hilly and lush, but much sleepier. Praslin’s Vallée de Mai is a national park and world heritage site, and a great place for spotting the famous coco de mer, the double coconut, but there are all sorts of rare birds and animals here too, including the rare Seychelles Black Parrot. Praslin's beaches certainly number amongst the best in the Seychelles, and if you stay here you’re never more than an hour away from anywhere else on the island.
La Digue comes in at the number three most inhabited island, but if one were pressed to make a decision on which has the best beaches the groundswell of opinion hints at La Digue being the winner. The coastline is just one beautiful bay after another, and many are pristine, La Digue is only lightly developed and many of these most beautiful beaches are only reachable on foot. Where there is infrastructure it’s fairly unobtrusive, you won’t see too many cars here.
Beyond these three islands are the private island resorts which you’ll see on our list of the best places to stay in the Seychelles, below.

The Best Places to Stay in the Seychelles

Some of the Most Romantic Hotels in the Seychelles

Cousine Island is a luxurious private island resort with just six villas, French colonial in style, all with beautifully imagined interiors, private pools and terraces or verandahs. There’s also a spa and cooking classes are available. And of course the island of Cousine is just paradise.
Le Domaine de l’Orangerie is a beautifully designed resort surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens and on a beautiful stretch of private beach. You get the idea, it’s just an incredible location and they’ve built a really unobtrusive hotel here, with 128 rooms, suites and villas of varying sizes. This is the perfect place to come to snorkel, stroll around, enjoy the sunset and just generally lap up the surrounding beauty.
If you want all the bells and whistles, Constance Lemuria on Praslin might be the best place to stay in the Seychelles for you. It’s right on the beach, but close to three of the island’s more beautiful beaches, and has a huge spa offering — some of its suites come with their own massage pavilion, sauna and jacuzzi. It’s also close to an 18 hole golf course.
The Fregate Private Island Resort is a luxurious private island resort of the VIP kind, with just 16 villas, all with multiple bedrooms, private pools and jacuzzis, and butler and chef services. There’s a spa too. And a lot more besides.
Raffles Seychelles is a luxurious hotel on the seafront at the Baie Sainte Anne, with 86 rooms and villas. The sunsets are beautiful when seen from the hotel’s private terraces, and there’s a spa, plunge pools and an excellent sushi restaurant.

For Barefoot Luxury

North Island offers the epitome of barefoot luxury; a private tropical island resort with just 11 thatched villas, all opening right onto the beach, and all coming with their own butler service. This resort is really treading lightly on its surrounds so it’s a fantastic place to come if you want to explore the oceans and jungles of the Seychelles as well as the beaches, or if you’re ecologically minded.
Six Senses Zil Pasyon is a private, tropical island hideaway with a collection of 30 luxurious rooms, suites and villas. Aside from that, and the lovely spa, pool, restaurant, bar and kid’s club, the island has been pretty much left in its pristine natural state, just with some hiking trails cut through the jungle. The beaches here are really something.
For even more privacy consider the 60 thatched holiday villas of the Maia Luxury Resort & Spa, which come complete with their own private butlers, chefs and infinity pools. The villas are hidden amongst the thirty acres of forest-garden which runs all the way to the white sand. There’s a fantastic spa too, and an excellent kids club.

The Best Seychelles Escapes

JA Enchanted Island Resort is a private island getaway in the Saint Anne Marine Park with just 10 Creole style villas. There’s a Castaway bar and a small but beautiful infinity pool with incredible ocean views, and the atmosphere is as tranquil as can be.
Denis Private Island is another luxurious private island getaway, with accommodation in cottages and villas spread across the island, but all with easy access to the beach. Some of the villas have private pools, but there’s also a beautiful hotel pool, plus a spa and restaurant, but no wifi or phone signal.
Le Domaine de la Réserve at gorgeous Anse Petit Cour on Praslin, is a beautiful hotel resort with just 40 rooms, suites and colonial/Creole style villas. As well as being fairly secluded on a beautiful stretch of beach, the hotel has one of the largest pools in the Seychelles. There are some very comfortable family options here too, but it’s also very romantic.
In a relatively secluded spot on the north-east coast of Praslin, L'Archipel is a really charming hotel with just 32 rooms and suites, all luxuriously minimalist, with spectacular views. There are two Creole restaurants and a friendly, relaxed vibe.

For a beach resort

With a sun terrace that runs right up against the sand, the Carana Beach Hotel on Mahé is a 40 room boutique hotel with fantastic views and a calming, neutral palette. If you want your own private pool you can book a chalet, if you want your own private meal on the beach you can book that too. The food is gourmet and there’s a spoiling spa too.
Also on Mahé, and with a similarly luxurious beach break vibe, the Kempinski Seychelles Resort is a good choice if you’re looking for a larger resort hotel with more onsite facilities. On the Baie Lazare, set amongst lush, tropical gardens, this hotel is arranged so that the majority of its 148 rooms have beach or lagoon views, so it’s beautiful everywhere you turn.
The Banyan Tree Seychelles fits into several of our categories: it’s definitely luxurious, and its collection of 60 rooms, suites and villas offers the perfect romantic escape, but also a wonderful opportunity for some luxurious family time — whoever you’re travelling with you’re able to order private, in-villa meals, and book a villa with a private pool as well as sea views. Much of the accommodation is tucked up in the rainforest canopy, but you’re right on the beach on Mahé’s Intendance Bay, and that’s one of the things we love most about it.

The Best Small Places to Stay in the Seychelles

The Treasure Island Retreat in Anse Kerlan on Praslin is a collection of just four apartments, but in a fantastic spot next to one of Praslin’s most beautiful beaches. Each apartment has a fully-equipped kitchen, and open-plan dining and lounge, and a balcony or terrace with sea views.
Le Château de Feuilles is a five-star, resort with just nine suites. The Praslin location means you’re close to operators who can take you out fishing, snorkelling or diving, but it’s a small hotel in a privileged location with access to its own small private island, Grande Soeur, which is 20minutes away by boat.
La Belle Tortue is a collection of just six villas and a boutique-style lodge, barely discernible behind lush, tropical vegetation on Silhouette Island, a protected reserve. You’re right on the beach and there are very comfortable options for families. And they’ll cook you up your catch of the day for supper.

For Families

The H Resort Beau Vallon boasts of its prime position on the only beach in Mahé that you can swim off all year round. And they also make quite a bit of the fact that there 100 rooms and suites, decorated in a Creole colonial style, offer plenty of romance, but also great facilities for families. There’s a kid’s pool as well as a hotel pool, but that also offer a couple’s massage evening that comes highly recommended.
The Bird Island Lodge on Bird Island, just off Mahé, is a collection of just 24 simple but spacious chalets converted from an old plantation. Inside expect wooden furniture and rooms suitable for families, and outside there’s all the natural beauty of the Seychelles: turtles, tortoises, dolphins and lots of birds!
Constance Ephelia is a luxurious resort arranged along a long cove with lagoons, palms and a small island at the centre — sounds postcard perfect, doesn’t it? The resort has 313 rooms and villas, which are nestled into the hillside or right against the ocean. The decor is neutral, there are plenty of activities on offer, including a Kid’s Club, and diving and snorkelling trips.
You might think private island resorts are just for couples, but in the case of the Four Seasons Seychelles at Desroches Island that’s not true. This resort has 67 rooms, suites and villas, but they’re spread quite widely over the island, so there’s plenty of privacy for everyone, but there’s also the scale for the facilities to be great. If you book a private villa you’ll not only have your own kid’s bedrooms you’ll also have your own pool. With access to the island’s tortoise sanctuary, there’s also lots of opportunity to get back to nature.
The Dhevatara Beach Hotel at Grand’Anse on Praslin, is a small property with just ten, boutique-feeling suites, with open-plan living in a traditional Seychellois style — some of the suites have sea views. There’s a Creole restaurant, and you’re close to some great fishing, canoeing and snorkelling spots.

The Best Value Places to Stay in the Seychelles

In amongst this list of private island resorts and luxurious havens is the Le Nautique Waterfront Hotel, a beautiful, contemporary, oceanfront hotel on the island of La Digue. There’s a choice of rooms or villas, all decorated with a nautical air, there’s a great seafood restaurant and a pool that’s right next to the ocean’s edge.

Travel Information

If you don’t have your own private yacht or boat the only international gateway to the Seychelles is the Seychelles International Airport near the capital, Victoria. There are regular flights between Mahé and Praslin and once-daily flights between Mahé and Bird Island, Denis Island, Fregate Island, Desroches Island and Alphonse Island. You can also get around by chartering a helicopter, or plane, or by ferry.
If you’re thinking about hiring a car we recommend checking what our online partners, Rentalcars have to offer.
The Seychelles are generally hot and humid, with the drier, cooler season between May and September and the hotter, wetter season between November and March. The missing months are the changeover months: April is the calmest and warmest month, when the winds are changing direction, and November is warm with light winds, again as they change direction.

Still not sure which is the best place to stay in the Seychelles for you?
