Top 10 hotels in Mahe Island, Seychelles

August 12, 2022 Oliva Fomby

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.

Wonderful hotel resort and spa

Reviewed By Saj2820

Our stay at the Hilton Northolme was nothing short of fantastic from the moment we checked in up until the checkout. The resort is stunning with a beautiful views from every angle, the rooms were clean, the breakfast was outstanding nothing too much trouble for the staff, the gym was great and above all the staff no matter which part of the resort you were at were always smiling and friendly going above and beyond. Highly recommend this hotel as very close to the Beau Vallon area too with the beach and can’t wait to go back.

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.

We spend our honeymoon in this hotel and we stayed 14 days. It was the best time we had, we loved & enjoyed it so much! We got an upgrade to Junior Suite, it was always very clean and spacious. The food was great, we had booked breakfast - it was always diverse and delicious! We can also recommend the in-Room dining. The service was amazing, all employees were so kind and lovely - never had such a perfect service! We felt very welcome and in good hands! The hotel entrance and the pool area were stunning with such a beautiful view on the entire Beau Vallon Beach. We can absolutely recommend this place and we will come back for sure! Thank you!

Sailfish Beach Villas

Sailfish Beach Villas are set in a beautifully kept garden complex, planted with exotic palms, cinnamon, vanilla, hibiscus, and tropical fruits. The villas boast stunning views overlooking the calm, shallow waters of the bay of Anse a la Mouche and sleep up to five people each in two bedrooms. Anse a la Mouche is located at the south end of the main island of Mahe in the Seychelles. The villas are situated away from the noise and bustle of the capital of Victoria, yet within easy reach of local restaurants and quiet beaches with soft white sand and clear water - excellent for snorkeling. Each villa offers two large fully air-conditioned double bedrooms with king-size beds, fitted wardrobes and a dressing table. A baby cot is also available upon request. The lounge features a balcony with plenty of space for dining and some of the bedrooms also have their own balconies overlooking the bay. The kitchenettes in each villa vary in size but are all fully equipped with the essentials required for a self-catering holiday.

Spacious, Clean Villas with a gorgeous View.

Reviewed By Poleinahole

We stayed here on two occasions and were delighted with our stay. The apartments have a gorgeous view, are spacious and have everything you need for a great stay. Super clean too! Hugo is a great host and absolutely charming. He can arrange for you to be picked up at the airport for Euro 30 (only 20 minutes away). Better yet, he can arrange a car hire (as the villas are in the south of the island away from the Beau Vallon beach strip where you can walk to everything and taxis are expensive). There is no food served on the premises but the driver who picks you up at the airport will stop at a supermarket where you can stock up before arriving at the apartment. Hugo will give you the number of a family business that offers basic food (and fresh coconuts!) and delivers direct to your villa (delivery only from around noon.) WIFI is a bit slow as it is on most of the island. But we absolutely loved having a washing machine in our villa. Although the villas are on a hill, there is some noise from the traffic on there road below. If you are a light sleeper, therefore, it might be good to bring earplugs, although with the air conditioner on you won't hear much noise. We enjoyed our stay at Sailfish Villas and would happily stay here again.
