The 8 best Resorts in Mahe Island, Seychelles

May 7, 2023 Etsuko Causey

The Seychelles largest and main island, Mahe is home to the capital of Victoria and about 70,000 people (almost 90% of the nation's total). Still, the island retains its idyllic beauty, with 3,000-foot mountains and scores of gorgeous beaches. Many plants, including the so-called Jellyfish Tree and several rare orchids, are unique to Mahe's shores. The Seychelles Natural History Museum, the Botanical Gardens and the Codevar Craft Centre, all in Victoria, are not to be missed.

The hotel is in a very good location where the quiet life meets the luxury and on top of that the boys at Palmers ( the hotel bar ) make some amazing signature cocktails which is hard to stay away from . Recommend the whole experience and definitely recommend “diving” into the cocktail menu. ☺️

Do not trust honeymoon package

Reviewed By EricMH1988

One of the reasons we booked Story for our honeymoon was the honeymoon package which was advertised on their website. There is nowhere on their website to select the honeymoon package when booking. I therefore emailed the hotel that we were on our honeymoon in advance of arrival. I then advised again that we we were on our honeymoon upon checking in. I was then left red faced and embarrassed in front of my new wife when, upon checking out, I was told that "the system" did not have the honeymoon package selected and I would have to pay full price for all the items listed as complimentary in the honeymoon package. Very disappointing.

Unforgettable experience

Reviewed By latoyam294

What could I possibly say that will encompass my experience at Anantara Maia from the rooms to the service to the staff amazing. My partner and I stayed 4 nights and everyone was so accommodating. I had to start a new paragraph to talk about Amita and Pasek, they were the stars of the vacation. Setting up our dining experiences and always being there when needed. They made us feel so comfortable and taken care of, they knew what we wanted before I even had to ask. So observant, that's 5 star experience. These two made my partner 40th birthday a dream come true. So warm and caring and going the extra mile for us. I will always remember those two and the time they gave us. When we come back we will definitely be asking for Amita and Pasek, the best of the best villa hosts. The staff member, Mike was so helpful with the canoe and providing us with what we need, so helpful and friendly. The spa experience as well as yoga was amazing. I was able to relax and get exercise. Finally, the GM Mathieu was amazing and so friendly, and went above and beyond. Exactly what you think a GM should be and he was that and so much more.

Tranquility and peace of mind

If you a person who loves simplicity, nature and tranqulity, jardins des palmes is an ideal location for you. With only few villas available (around 10) with perfect view of the anse la mouche bay one can just switch off from your daily busy life and enjoy some days away from the city's busy life. The villas are exeptional with a beautiful view when stepping out on your balcony. The staff was just amazing. From pamela, muriel, and our chef who prepared the most filling breakfast whereby we got the chance to have it delivered in our villa. The area is deserted as its never full but that is the beauty of it. You can relax ur mind, body and soul. Thank you for the good experience and i will be coming back soon.
