Start Island HoppingReviews
The deluxe villa was very comfortable, with good furnishings and a great view. The cleaning was also top notch. The food in the restaurant was not special, a la carte was OK, but the buffet restaurant was nothing special. The service staff were terrible - completely clueless and not particularly friendly. The loungers on the beach were not particularly clean. The price/performance ratio is not right. It's a shame, as the location of the hotel is really unique (despite the remote location).
Translation (DE): GoogleTranslateDie Deluxe Villa war sehr komfortabel, mit guter Einrichtung und tollem Ausblick. Reinigung auch top. Das Essen im Restaurant war nicht besonders, a la Carte war ok, aber Buffet Restaurant war nichts besonderes. Unterirdisch waren die Service Kräfte - absolut ahnungslos und auch nicht besonders freundlich. Die Liegen am Strand waren nicht besonders sauber. Preis-/Leistung stimmt nicht. Schade, da die Lage des Hotels wirklich einzigartig ist (trotz abgeschiedener Lage).
Very nice resort, but a bit remote. The only criticism was that the staff were not particularly helpful when it came to organizing and providing information about excursions.
Translation (DE): GoogleTranslateSehr schönes Resort,allerdings etwas abgelegen.Einziger Kritikpunkt,das Personal war nicht sonderlich hilfsbereit was die Organisation und Infos über Ausflüge anbetrifft.
This hotel offers everything you could imagine for a relaxing holiday. Fantastic location, very nice and large rooms. The staff from the concierge to the reception and room service completely convinced us. Friendly, helpful, competent and yet discreet. Good starting point for exploring the island. Small shops and restaurants nearby (3 km). We liked the peace and quiet on the beach without music, paradise par excellence.
Translation (DE): GoogleTranslateDieses Hotel bietet alles was man sich unter erholsamen Urlaub vorstellt.
Traumhafte Lage, sehr schöne und grosse Zimmer. Das Personal vom Pförtner, über den Empfang bis zum Raumservice überzeugte uns voll.
Freundlich, hilfsbereit, kompetent und doch diskret.
Gute Ausgangslage um die Insel zu erkunden. In der Nähe (3Km) kleine Einkaufs- und Essmöglichkeiten.
Uns gefiel die Ruhe am Strand ohne Musik, das Paradies schlechthin.

FAQs
On our website, you can find descriptions and pictures of all of the hotels and villas in our programme, which give you the most detailed idea of the accommodation as possible. This is also the case for our island-hopping packages. Furthermore, each of these page contains a contact form, which you can use to send us an enquiry. This can also be done by telephone.
First of all, we will make you an offer based on your enquiry. You will then have the opportunity to request changes to various aspects of our offer. If you would then like to accept a binding offer, you send us the necessary contract form, and we send you your booking confirmation, along with other information about your booking.
Of course! Our team knows each object in our programme first-hand, and they are more than happy to use this knowledge to help you create your tailor-made holiday over the phone.
Our offers are created on an individual basis, and are only valid for one day. This is because the hotels and villas in our programme may receive bookings from other sources in the meantime, while flight prices and availabilities can also change with little notice. Should you require more time to think over the offer, we are more than happy to update it for you at any point.
Our availability calendar is updated by our Seychelles partners (hotels, guesthouses, yacht charter companies etc.) themselves. This can sometimes mean that the availability of our accommodations is outdated. After your booking enquiry, SeyVillas will contact the owner of the appropriate establishment or accommodation in order to give you a binding, accurate availability status.
For the larger hotels and chains who we work with, each establishment or company tends to work with its own booking system, all of which differ from each other enormously. Therefore, it is currently not possible to combine all of these systems with each other and our own in order to display binding, up-to-date availabilities. In terms of confirmations of availability, we are only able to provide this when we first receive the confirmation ourselves from the hotel.
In cases where the hotel you have requested is no longer available, we will send you an alternative suggestion, or, you can send us your own replacement suggestion. In addition, if the hotel, guesthouse, yacht etc. is unavailable, you can also withdraw your booking interest at any point between sending us your initial request and accepting an offer.
Yes, we will of course send you a secured payment certificate. This is a legal requirement for travel and tour operators, and serves as the basis for the receipt of payment from you, as our customer, to us, as travel operator.
After receiving your confirmed booking enquiry, we will send you a booking confirmation (PDF) within three days by email. We will also send you your secured payment certificate at this point. After receiving the booking confirmation, you must pay 30% of the total amount within 5 working days. For flights, SeyVillas acts as an intermediary, so flight costs must be paid in full (100%) within five working days. The remaining amount must be paid, at the latest, five weeks before the start of your holiday.
We have contractually-regulated agreements in place with the largest local tourism services in the Seychelles. They will take care of welcoming you to the Seychelles and with transfers. They are also available for questions, and can help you out with any problems that may arise in relation to your holiday in the Seychelles.
We strongly recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance. The costs of this are minimal compared with the cost of a holiday, and will insure you against any potential illnesses which may result in you having to cancel your holiday. We are also able to take out travel cancellation insurance for you on your behalf, as well as travel health insurance and full insurance packages.
The service fee helps us to improve our customer service and the holidays that we offer. Due to the extra time, effort and organisation that is required at the moment due to Covid-19, as well as increased insurance costs in all touristic companies (DRSF) since 01.11.2021, we have introduced a service fee in order to continue to offer you the best advice and product possible.
- Personal and individual consultation by our qualified team.
- Free change to your holiday package if your flights are changed (no re-booking fee by SeyVillas).
- Implementation of extra wishes (e.g. candlelit dinner, bike rental, excursions etc.).
- Local contact person on-site throughout your holiday
- SeyVillas emergency contact number at the weekend
The service fee applies to bookings of two or more travel services (including accommodation, transfers, flights, day trips, weddings).
Since 01.08.2023, the sustainability levy for tourism has come into force. Holidaymakers have to pay between 25-100 Seychelles Rupees per person/night on arrival, depending on the size of the accommodation booked.
This contribution is used for nature conservation projects, such as the expansion of renewable energies or the mitigation of coastal erosion in the Seychelles.
The amount of the levy is as follows:
Accommodation not located on Mahé, Praslin, La Digue or Cerf Island
Sailing tours
The environmental sustainability levy must be paid at your booked accommodation and applies to all persons aged 12 and over.
The payment is usually made in cash in the local currency “Seychelles Rupee“. If your accommodation has a card reader, you may also pay by credit card (fees might apply).
Certified Seychelles experts
An official training issued by the Ministry of Tourism in the Seychelles has been attended by the Team that has successfully completed the "Seychelles online training" with the final certificate of "Expert of the Seychelles".

Full description
The luxurious rooms of this hotel blend in perfectly with the picturesque landscape that surrounds it. Here, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the nearby beach and the crystal-clear water of the Indian Ocean. The turquoise-coloured ocean, the white beach, the granite formations, and the palm trees that can all be found nearby are typical of the Seychelles, ensuring a heavenly environment for your holiday. The hotel's own beautiful beach then stretches out in front of the vast, imposing Indian Ocean.
The hotel offers two different restaurants, the Feuille d'Or (in the main building near the pool) offers a delicious evening meal, while the Bon Mange (situated on the beach) serves up breakfast and an à la carte lunch. The restaurant's chef combines local Creole influences with the art of traditional French cuisine. Twice each week, the menu consists of a traditional Creole buffet, which is always a special occasion, and well-known across the island. Between the restaurant and the pool lies the smaller cocktail lounge, where you can enjoy a delicious, exquisite drink, including the Piña Colada, which is truly a joy.
As a guest of this luxurious hotel, you'll have the choice of one of four different room categories. All of the rooms are in villa-esque buildings, separated from each other, and all located slightly above the beach, ensuring an incredible view of the sand and the ocean. There are deluxe, senior, executive, and superior suites available, all of which are similarly-equipped, differing only in terms of their location and size.
