May 2, 2023 Janette Largent

Sailing, diving, fishing and relaxing are the main activities for visitors to the 115 islands of this Indian Ocean archipelago. Mahé, Praslin and La Digue are the most popular islands. Mahé boasts 65 silver beaches, plus an array of restaurants, cafés, bars and casinos in the tiny capital, Victoria. The Seychelles are home to UNESCO-designated sites, coral atoll Aldabra and Vallée de Mai, called the Garden of Eden. Creole is the main language, but English and French are widely spoken.

Spent a wonderful visit at this villa. Well situated and within easy reach to local grocery shops, the bus top, eateries and most importantly to Beau Vallon beach. Cecile the owner has been a peach and communicates from booking, arrival and departure. The Bouganvilla apartment was lovely, quite comfortable, well equipped and spacious. I enjoyed every bit of the breakfast on the days when I am not off on an early adventure and the staff was superb. Definitely hope to have another visit.

Very Nice Place

Reviewed By Jody_Anya

We stayed here on out third week in Seychelles. We stayed in many beautiful places but in all honesty, this was my preferred place. We had everything we needed, plenty of air flow and AC in the main area and living area. The kitchen is fully functioning with everything you need. They keep it really clean. The beds were comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and Welcoming. It's walking distance to the beach and a few stores. Perfectly located. Great value. We unfortunately couldn't stay longer because it was booked and now not in such a nice place, helping me appreciate what I had :)

Seychelles as the locals do it

Reviewed By Sue H

I visited the seychelles and it is what you see on the tin. A small but beautiful island surrounded by warm sea. It is very green and hilly but the the roads were poor and the bus network though very cheap was like taking your life in your hands. Seychelles is great when your within a 5 star hotel with aircon and regular bug sprays but staying in chalets at the top of a hill with very limited air con was very uncomfortable. The humidity in the seychelles is horrific. The mosquitos were develish and bit me to death despite using sprays and lotions. The heat in march was uncomfortable without aircon and when it rained it did so heavily for 24 hours at a time. All in all for me the Seychelles was not somewhere i would choose to revist Mauritius was far nicer.

It's the second time we spent two weeks there and we stay well. We were there last year and this february. We went to the fish market in Victoria to buy fresh fish ( the only thing less expensive in Seychelles ), and we cooked in our kitchen. The supermarket is next door. The apartment is cleaned every three days. The manager, Miss Nila is very kind and helpful and the owner Mr Rogan and his wife are very kind and courteous. Ivanromeo.

Wonderful hotel with exceptional food..

Reviewed By jjlo

Silhouette is a beautiful granite island which is either explored on foot or by boat. La Belle Tortue is one of two accommodations on the island. If you prefer an intimate, quieter experience shared with no more than a small number of like minded individuals, then La Belle Tortue is the perfect choice. We spent five wonderful nights in the varangue room which was extremely comfortable and its spacious veranda was ideal for relaxing, reading and listening to the sounds of bird song and the ocean. What made this lodge so special was the exceptional hospitality of general manager and chef, Benjamin and his staff. Benjamin's four course, evening menu was an absolute delight, each dish demonstrating his culinary expertise. The beach immediately in front of the lodge is perfect for a swim at high tide; reef shoes are needed for exploration at a lower tide. There are many activities to choose from; we enjoyed a romantic sunset cruise with boat crew, Alain and Ryan. We also arranged to be taken to and collected from Anse Grande Barbe, on the other side of the island, where there is the perfect 'Robinson Crusoe' beach, which we enjoyed all to ourselves. Behind the beach, we explored the ruins of an earlier settlement where a handful of people still live. Alternatively, the beach can be reached by a long hike and a guide can be provided. Snorkelling trips can also be arranged and diving is accommodated at the Hilton hotel further along Anse La Passe. We especially enjoyed walking along this stretch of beach at low tide to Baie Cipailles, a stunning part of the coastline with granite boulders and shallow pools. We also enjoyed the easier hikes to other beaches such as Anse Cimetiere and Anse Lascars. La Belle Tortue provided the ideal opportunity to do as little or as much as we liked on a relatively untouched island just a 45 minute boat transfer from Mahe. Thank you to all the staff who helped to make our stay so unique and enjoyable. Julian and Juliet

Best place to stay, so quiet and nice. very good service, cleaning every day. Everyone who worked was very nice and helpful, always did the little extra to make it all good. Wanted to send an extra star to Adjed who always made sure we were fine, came with extra umbrella when there was a lot of rain and we had been shopping, although it was about 10 meters to our door from the parking lot. The owner Maryese (don't know if I spelled the name correctly) was very helpful and nice, informed us of different places to visit. She was very familiar and caring. They gave us cucumbers and other assorted vegetables from time to time from their garden. They always asked if we needed anything. Nice with own kitchen and it was large and spacious bedroom, plenty of drawers and shelves, the bed was king size a little hard but perfectly ok. The bathroom was large and clean. Walking distance to a little smaller beach and about 10 min to the nearest grocery store. We rented a car the whole time we were here. We stayed here for 23 days and will book here again if we return to Seychelles

We arrived by taxi and by the 2nd day we realized we needed a car. I searched online and couldn't find anything. When I messaged Phillipa, she coordinated with Antoine and we had a car brought to the lodge within a couple hours. We drove around the island to the Botanical Gardens and Le Jardin, also went to several beaches and the beach closest to lemongrass was definitely our favorite. Also another beach close by had amazing snorkeling. Staff was amazing! Beautiful surreal sunsets from the balcony.
