5 Star Seychelles Holidays

Andrew Murray

I’m fortunate to be well travelled and this was the best hotel I’ve stayed at. The staff were all super friendly and polite. Elna in particular provided excellent customer service on multiple occasions. The room had everything you could wish for, including a large bath. The food was amazing at breakfast and the dinner was even better!! The gym was good, by hotel standards and there was a sauna and steam room too. There was even a tennis court! It’s situated right next to the beautiful Beau Vallon Beach and they provide clean beach towels every day. Thanks for a great experience!

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, and it was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Seychelles. The hotel is stunning, with lush green gardens and an enormous pool—one of the best I've ever seen. The beach, just a short walk from the hotel, is easily accessible and absolutely beautiful. We were initially given a room with a view of the parking lot, which was a bit disappointing. However, the front desk manager kindly upgraded us to a suite. The suite was very comfortable, offering gorgeous views of the pool, gardens, and ocean. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had an excellent experience throughout our stay. Thank you, Savoy, for an unforgettable stay! I highly recommend this hotel.

Magnificent, is my first words. We had a couple of hiccups @ the beginning and the staff made absolutely sure we where comfortable until it was corrected. Had one issue with the fridge and they fixed it with no questions. The best service and the best treatment! This is a great reason they are 5 stars. I so appreciate the staff and hospitality and feel very comfortable @ my stay. The property is beautiful and well maintained! Next to the beach and in walking distance to anything you need. My wife had a rough flight and has been able to recoup and start enjoying this wonderful place that is a dream to visit! Thank you Savoy and all the great staff!

Nice hotel, however for the price you pay I would expect everything to be spot on. Here we had couple of times at the breakfast where we needed to chase our coffee or even cutlery. Once it got busy, table has been full of dishes and guest had no choice but just sit inside instead of enjoying nice weather outside. Misleading information online about volleyball. It would be health hazard to play. Added picture how it looks like. Lack of storage in rooms for clothing. Yoga classes only at 7am and not everyday. Must book in advance. They needed our marriage certificate to give us a gift. It was wine and cake in a room. Other hotels provide bottle of champagne for anniversary without any proof. However, yoga instructor has been really good. Really good breakfast options. Nice staff at the reception. Room service has been quick to provide what we needed. Loved brand they use for shampoo, conditioner etc. everyone by the beach as it’s absolutely amazing. Although it’s public so no one cleans it.

Nice staff and great breakfast/ buffet dinner. Location is perfect surrounded by Beau Vallon beach, many restaurants & bars. However, one disappointment is 'the standard garden or mountain view room' has got the view of parking lots and a few palm trees only and we couldn't enjoy the balcony at all. (The pictures on the website are only for the rooms with higher prices I guess )

Kempinski Seychelles Resort is an excellent five-star resort with clean facilities and friendly, professional staff. The place offers an amazing, very clean beach, perfect for snorkeling and chilling. The beach service is excellent and includes variety of cocktails, foods, and beverages. The property is located on a scenic but remote beach, so it's hard and expensive to leave the resort to see other places or eat outside. The place offers three dining options: 1. Buffet dining with a good but not diverse choice of food 2. Beach restaurant, which offers a diverse and tasty menu. 3. Chef restaurant that apparently nobody attends. Therefore, if you don’t book a half board option, you actually have one dining option - the #2, which is good but not enough for a vacation of more than five days

our honeymoon at the hotel kempinski Seychelles was amazing! The food at the buffet was incredible! every night there is a different cuisine like “Pan-Asian, Arabic, Italian” and so on. We looked forward to the dining every night! Thank you to the chefs and the waiters especially Ayman, Rona, Emma, Nelly and Mercia! The food and the service was excellent every night! Would definitely recommend! The location and the beach was also incredible! The rooms were clean and spacious. Every staff at the hotel were very friendly, welcoming and always in a good mood which puts the guests in a good mood too :) Overall the experience was great and we would definitely choose this hotel again!

Aubrey Yocette

My family and I had the absolute pleasure of having Babrha as our waitress, and she made our dining experience unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, her warm and welcoming demeanor put us at ease. She explained everything on the menu with such clarity and enthusiasm, and her attention to detail was impeccable. Every interaction was paired with a genuine smile, making us feel like valued guests. Her service was flawless, and it's clear she loves what she does. Babrha truly elevated our evening—she’s a gem! If I could give more than five stars, I would!

Andrew Wilding

We’ve really enjoyed our stay here, everyone has been amazing. It’s a beautiful location. We had a great service from Babrha during our wedding breakfast and Alissa has been so kind and helpful throughout our wedding preparation.

Kempinski Seychelles is absolutely beautiful! We came here for our honeymoon after a week of being on safari, and it was a perfect relaxing end to our trip. The ladies in red are incredibly helpful, and the room was fantastic. Hiking to the top of Mount Kempinski is a must, the view is incredible. We greatly enjoyed our barefoot honeymoon dinner at Windsong. Our server, Adel, was so nice and took the time to take some pictures of us on the beach. She was genuinely a pleasure to be around. We will definitely be back!

Steve Ralph

A superb setting for a hotel on an otherwise uninhabited island an hour off the coast of Mahe. The food is excellent and there are numerous varied dining options. The staff are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. It's only my 2nd day but it's been all good so far.

We loved spending the festive season at the Hilton. Silhouette Island is cut off from the mainland and is pure paradise. The villa is spacious and the restaurants are of a very high standard. A special mention to Jackson who looked after us so well during this unforgettable stay, thank you!

Berk Cibooglu

We recently booked room for our honeymoon at a Hilton Labriz resort for 3 nights, and I have to say it was an absolute nightmare, especially after spending 4 wonderful nights at a different hotel in Constance Ephelia with a clean, beautiful beach. The Hilton experience was the complete opposite. The beach at the Hilton was filthy—there was broken glass everywhere, and I almost cut my foot on it. There were seaweed and large stones scattered around, making it impossible to even walk along the shore. If you’re planning on swimming, forget it. The low tide situation, which is conveniently not mentioned anywhere on their booking page or website, makes it impossible to swim. The water barely reaches your feet, and if you try walking into the sea, you’ll be met with jagged rocks and slippery seaweed, which are dangerous when the waves come in. The lifeguard told us that the only time you can swim is between 9-10 AM when the tide is higher. Seriously, what kind of beach has a one-hour window for swimming? We tried talking to the manager, who shockingly admitted they don’t clean the beach at all. Yes, you read that right—there’s zero effort to maintain a clean and safe beach for guests. After this disaster, we wanted to cancel our stay and go back to Constance, but they refused to let us cancel. We had to deal with Booking.com and make endless phone calls just to get the last two days canceled. And, on top of that, we had to pay an additional 450 euros for the transfer, plus the wasted money on the hotel. This place is a total scam if you’re expecting a relaxing beach holiday. I highly recommend avoiding this Hilton hotel at all costs. Save your time, money, and peace of mind!

Service is not the best, receptionist is very hard to understand. The snorkelling service is the worst in the world. The beach is very pretty but hard to swim due to rocks. Rooms are well air conditioned and clean and tidy. Good place for family but not honeymoon.

Hissah A

The ocean is wonderful but the service bot that much especially for the diving center we did a snorkeling and kayak no one teaches us about anything! We fall from the kayak in the middle of the ocean we’ve lost our phones and the guide wasn’t watching us and didn’t help us ! We spoke to the reception but nothing happened! I’m really disappointed

Sue May

Our overall stay at Constance has been incredible. Although we had a minor issue with our villa at first, the staff responded immediately and moved us to a new one without any hassle. Everyone here is extremely friendly, the service is outstanding, and the beach is absolutely beautiful. The food has been delicious, and as someone who needs gluten-free meals, they went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary needs. Thanks to their attentiveness, this has truly felt like a vacation in paradise. We highly recommend Constance and would return without hesitation!

Eylül Özbabacan

An Amazing Stay! Our stay at Constance Ephelia was incredible. The location, surrounded by lush greenery and private beaches, is a true paradise. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable with breathtaking balcony views. The food was delicious and diverse. The seafood menu was especially outstanding. Breakfasts had plenty of choices for everyone. The wonderful massage at the spa and various activities, from water sports to nature hikes, added to the relaxation. Fast internet was helpful for a quick work break. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. It’s perfect for big and small groups seeking a unique and memorable experience. Highly recommended for creating unforgettable memories.

Gian Marco D'Angiò

The resort is just absolutely incredible. The beaches are beautiful and the nature around is one of a kind. STAFF There are too many names to write so I will thank everyone for an amazing job. They are always ready to help to make sure you have the best experience possible. They are all are very kind and professional FOOD The variation of the buffet maintains a high quality. Each restaurant has a different and unique vibe. The candlelight dinner at Cyann is just fantastic, the staff went above and beyond to make it unique. SHUTTLE When you reach the shuttle stop, a shuttle arrives every 5-10 minutes based on the availability and destination of the passengers. In case they don't arrive, ask the staff, they are always ready to help SPA Great place to relax, although I feel like it needs a bit of "beautification". An alternative closed SPA would make it bigger and protect the stay in case of heavy rain

The hotel was very nicely located. The food was good. The staff was always very friendly. We had a personal villa host, his name is Jean-Yves. He was super friendly, very attentive, always available to us at any time of the day or night. He took care of every problem and answered every question we had. We felt completely at home. Without Jean-Yves we would have had a lovely stay. But with him we had a fantastic stay. We missed him when he didn't pick us up in the evening or when we didn't need him. He is such a warm personality, we would have loved to take him home with us 😂. We would come back to the Seychelles and to Ephelia any time just because of him. Anyone who has him as their villa host can consider themselves lucky. As a person he is a gift. Dear Jean-Yves, if you are reading this, we wish you all the best in the world. You are an amazing person, we are glad that we were able to get to know you and spend time with you. We look forward to being able to hug you again someday. Please stay as wonderful and personable as you are, because that's what makes you perfect!

I recently stayed at Constance Ephelia and had an incredible experience. The resort’s setting is stunning, with beautiful beaches and lush surroundings. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who made sure every need was met. The variety of dining options and the quality of the food were impressive. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, providing a perfect retreat. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing vacation.

Steve Ralph

Yet another fantastic resort that has grabbed a stunning location. Nestled in the hillside between two private beaches, it is paradise. The villas are rated in location and private facilities, i.e., pools, etc, so be ready to break the bank. Or possibly be slightly disappointed with your location within the resort. Food and drink is also at the very top end in costing but is excellent Breakfast is tremendous and is served in the Mahe restaurant with stunning views out to sea and Silhouette Island in the distance.

Tanja Elnaz Hassanzadeh

Dear OVB Team, I wanted to thank you all again from the bottom of my heart! You helped me so much with the preparations and the organization to surprise my friend on her birthday and supported me in every way that I could not have imagined better. It was planned perfectly from start to finish: the cake was delicious and you rounded it off with an unforgettable live Happy Birthday song performed by the local band! Thank you very much. We will always remember this evening! ❤️❤️❤️

We stayed 2 nights at Hilton Northholme Resort upon arriving for our Seychelles island-hopping vacation. The resort is beautifully designed, and the villa accommodation is spacious and full of amenities. The bathroom and balcony are definitely the highlights of the space, featuring a jacuzzi tub in the center of the bathroom and a large, fully furnished balcony overlooking the sea. Unfortunately, there was some construction work right next to our villa, which disturbed our first morning for hours, especially because we couldn't leave the villa due to heavy rain. From Hilton, I would have expected better planning. However, as compensation, the resort arranged our taxi ride to the ferry the next day. The breakfast is great, offering a full-range buffet with sweet and savory dishes, fruits, vegetables, and juices. The omelette was dry tho, but I think it was more of an “different egg type” problem than anything else. We had good breakfasts in general and also tried both their restaurants for dinner. We loved both the Mediterranean and Creole restaurants, which had a great selection of meals for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets. At the Creole restaurant, we were taken care of by a very nice waitress. Unfortunately, we forgot her name, but she truly made our dinner experience special with her attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism. The location is far from most things by walk. It's a great option if you just want to stay at the resort and maybe take some taxi rides, but for a longer stay, we wouldn’t have booked here due to the inconvenience of traveling around the island. Previously we stayed at other locations with great access to buses or places that could be reached by short walks. All in all, we had a great stay, but given the brand name, the place could do a bit more to live up to expectations.

We visited for our honeymoon and have been so excited to visit the Seychelles for over a year now and upon arrival we were really impressed with the hotel and its surroundings. Our hotel room is big and clean but it is very run down, we have had endless issues. The issues being: the mini fridge leaking, the lights not working, the windows being broken causing us to be bitten alive by mosquitos and the bathtub randomly deciding to turn on the jets flooding the bathroom (twice) while my partner was brushing his teeth. We reported these issues and the only thing that was fixed was the windows which were pried shut with a screwdriver….this is a 5 star hotel as you can imagine this is not the experience we hoped for. On the first day we were laying by the pool when the wind picked up and blew the umbrella over, I went up to pick it up so that it would not blow onto anyone else, but another gust of wind ended up trapping my fingers in the umbrella and sending me across the decking. I must say when this happened the staff on site were absolutely lovely and brought me ice and checked to make sure I was okay. However the situation and the parasoles should be addressed by management because someone else could have been really hurt. We were gifted a bottle of sparkling wine to apologise for all the issues we have had in the room. While I understand the sentiment, we are not big alcohol drinkers and this doesn’t rectify all the issues considering the fridge still didn’t work and the lights were still broken. These items were fixed later on in the trip, (after a few more calls) and we were treated to a meal on the hotel (drinks not included). The hotel is located near to the lovely Beau Vallon, but expect to spend around £10 each way for a 5min taxi ride. We tried walking it and it, but it is an especially dangerous road, without any pavements. Considering their monopoly on the island, it would be nice if Hilton offered some sort shuttle or discounted rate for journeys down, simply to not risk putting their clients in potential danger. Nothing that I’ve mentioned is the staffs fault, everyone we’ve spoken to has been very friendly and accommodating but overall, other then the scenic views, I am really unimpressed and would not recommend this hotel at all, especially not for your honeymoon.

Aggie

We stayed at Hilton for three days. We had exceptional service specially from Bekele and Liza from the restaurant. They always put smile on our face and made sure our vacation is memorable. On the other side, we booked our room for sunset view but we didn’t get that which is a little disappointing.

Tuna Stern

Absolutely fantastic. 2nd time being in Seychelles, we wanted to treat ourselves to a nice time, culminating in a visit to Constance Lemuria. From entry to exit, it was a luxurious atmosphere hard to replicate, especially on Praslin. The staff was amazing, the food (especially DIVA restaurant) breathtaking and the location just perfect. Whether you take a hike to Anse Georgette, chill at the turtle beach (shout out to Robert), Lemuria offers a tranquil experience for people looking to relax. I loved it and we will certainly visit again. Thank you again to the whole staff! P.S - waiting time at The Nest can be heavy sometimes.

Gleyca Lazarino

Constance Lemuria was our first accommodation in Seychelles, and what an unforgettable experience it was! The room was spacious and very comfortable, with a huge bathroom, good amenities, and impeccable housekeeping service. The hotel's facilities are also excellent: a golf course, tennis courts, kids club, restaurants, a wonderful cascading pool, gym... everything was wonderful! The food served at the restaurants we tried was absolutely delicious. The breakfast was plentiful and had options for all tastes. The hotel's beach is delightful, but there is also the option to visit the beautiful Anse Georgette with the hotel's transport. However, I must say that what impressed me the most about the hotel was the staff. Absolutely all the employees you encounter during your stay are the epitome of friendliness. Cordial, attentive, friendly, cheerful. They are certainly the ones who transform this place into a true paradise!

Hanna Stern

Our stay at Constance Lemuria was nothing short of fantastic! We visited from August to September, and while the weather was rainier than anticipated, we were still able to enjoy a few breathtakingly sunny days. This was our second trip to Seychelles, and once again, we had no trouble accessing the stunning Anse Georgette beach — a true highlight of any stay at Lemuria. From the moment you arrive, the service at Constance Lemuria stands out. The hospitality starts at breakfast with personal table assignments and attentive service, ensuring that you feel taken care of throughout your stay. The sheer number of dedicated staff and chefs on hand adds to the luxurious experience, making you feel pampered at every meal. We highly recommend dining at DIVA Restaurant — one of the resort's gems. The service is simply amazing, the food delicious, and the ambiance is perfect for a relaxed, upscale evening. The staff are always pleasant and attentive, creating a dining experience that is both sophisticated and welcoming. Constance Lemuria offers a wide range of on-site activities, from water sports to golfing, ensuring there's always something to do. We spent most of our time relaxing on the beach and indulging in spa treatments which were a delightful way to unwind. The spa facilities are beautifully designed, adding an extra touch of tranquility to the experience. The resort's location is truly outstanding, surrounded by lush greenery and pristine beaches that feel like a private paradise. We were impressed by the seamless pick-up service arranged through their partner, 7South, which made our arrival smooth and stress-free. Overall, Constance Lemuria exceeded our expectations with its blend of exceptional service, luxurious amenities, and breathtaking surroundings. It’s a perfect choice for anyone looking to experience the best of the Seychelles in style.

Kristin Dombroski

This is a nice enough resort, but we were disappointed to be given the run around regarding our honeymoon trip there. When we checked in, it was raining and it took a very long time to get from the welcome area to the front desk. Sara, who checked us in, let us know we'd be getting a resort credit due to our delayed honeymoon. The paperwork even said "delayed" next to honeymoon. We then stayed for 4 nights and asked at the front desk each day about the honeymoon credit after sending our marriage license because we never saw confirmation of receipt. I also asked at least once through WhatsApp on the "manager" line and called from our room once. We asked for a manager to a few times but never saw one. People at the front desk would disappear behind a door and tell us they'd get back to us. They never did. The night before we checked out, someone at the front desk finally told us what the honeymoon credit was (50 euro a night) and that we wouldn't be getting it because our honeymoon was not within 6 months of our wedding. The most annoying part is that we didn't expect this credit until we were told we'd be getting it when we checked in. Beyond this issue, the resort was fine but the best part was the proximity to Anse Georgette. I expect we'd stay elsewhere if we visit Praslin again.

Patrizia Tammaro Silva

This place is paradise! One of the most beautiful places I ever seen. The location is gorgeous and the hotel is excellent. Service is excellent! Everyone is kind and nice. The food is great in all restaurants (The Nest, the Rock, the Diva and the Legend (excellent buffet). The Huna bar prepares great cocktails and the live music is very good! The breakfast has a rich selection of all sorts of delicious foods. Titon puts us in a good mood while preparing a large selection of exotic fruit and so do all the rest of the staff. All restaurants have a great selection of wines and the sommelier are well prepared with good advice. I highly recommend this place as the best one in Praslin.

Ann Liu

Raffles Seychelles was an absolute dream stay! From the moment we entered into the panoramic pool villa, we were welcomed with honeymoon decorations and a beautiful calming interior. The villa is simply the best room we’ve ever stayed in, and it’s amazing to have our own private pool too! I also really enjoy watching sunrise from the bath. The food is fantastic all around. We are a massive fan of Asian food so we are frequent at Curieuse Restaurant. Chef Boy’s food is absolutely delicious and very authentic, and we enjoyed every dish. The manager Mr. Kareem has been so helpful and friendly to us too throughout our stay. And we throughly enjoyed the tortoise feeding activity at Raffles, and the Sunday Tandoori Indian Night. Thank you Raffles for making our honeymoon feel so special!

Stefano Lucherini

We stayed at Raffles for 5 nights at the end of our honeymoon. Overall, we loved our stay. We were in a panoramic ocean view villa, which was very spacious, well appointed and had a beautiful outdoor deck with stunning views. We were on the half board package, which I would recommend as the restaurants are excellent (but expensive) and the island doesn’t offer that many options in terms of nice dinner restaurants. The staff were so helpful and friendly throughout, going out of their way to make our stay perfect. We received a few nice gifts and perks to celebrate our honeymoon and we were invited for complementary cocktails by hotel management one night, which was very nice. The hotel beach is beautiful and we were able to use kayaks and snorkelling equipment there for free, which was a great touch. Overall, if you can squeeze it in your budget, we would highly recommend Raffles for a comfortable and relaxing stay on Praslin. It’s one of those experiences that you won’t forget very quickly.

Arjun Krishnan

Our 5-night stay in Raffles Seychelles has been one of the most relaxing and indulgent experiences. We came here after a 7-day safari and were looking to unwind, and the resort, its amenities, and the staff enabled us to do exactly that. From check in till check out, the staff were extremely friendly, courteous, welcoming, and took care of our every need. Staff often remembered things like our villa number, names, and even our regular orders at breakfast - little touches that made it feel special. Special mention for Celine (hope we got her name right!) who took extra effort and care to celebrate our anniversary and birthdays over two dinners, reserving special tables for us and decorating them. This was entirely unexpected and a very sweet surprise, which we were particularly touched by. The villas were clean, well maintained, and comfortable, we had some excellent sleeps! The views were also incredible and we really enjoyed spending time in the private pool looking out over the ocean or reading with the ocean view in the background. The resort has several activities for guests to get involved in, like yoga, live music, complimentary cocktails, etc., which was very nice. They also provided free snorkeling equipment which we used three times. Although the reefs near the resort are not big, we still saw some schools of fish and two stingrays, which we enjoyed. Dinner at Losean Restaurant and Curieuse Restaurant were both excellent and the half board package meant that we were always extremely well fed! Breakfast was also sumptuous - a good buffet spread and ample ala carte options were available to suit all tastes. Vegetarian menus were also available for ala carte meals. The pool bar and restaurant also had a good selection of food and drink if you wanted lunch or some nibbles by the poolside. If we were to nitpick, the only thing was that there were no vegetarian options available on Creole night, which was a buffet dinner with live music and dancing - this meant that we had to pick the other restaurant and didn't get to participate in the live music and dance, which we would have loved! Perhaps the hotel could consider having some veggie dishes in the buffet in future :). Overall, we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have felt like we got the rest and relaxation we needed. Looking forward to returning here in future!

Raffles Seychelles I think it was a Bucket list trip for many of us to visit the Seychelles islands and it is invariably a trip of a lifetime. So choosing a destination to stay is super important and all the key hotel chains have a hotel there in Seychelles ( scattered over various islands) Of course there are many places with all types of budgets so choosing how much you want to spend is what will make the decision easier. They all will have their options on half or full board etc We chose Raffles, mainly from their website and reviews from previous guests. It was one of the best decisions and also one of our favourite holidays ( a large part of it was because of Raffles hospitality ) Rooms - we had the ocean pool villa which seems to be the most popular and common villas. 24/7 air conditioning is available/ spacious rooms with a mini bar/ all overlook the sea and you have your own mini pool outside the bedroom overlooking the ocean ( as seen in the picture ) . Massive king size comfortable bed / twice room clean and then down service and excellent room service and menus too. There is a bath / both inside and outside showers etc . There is also a buggy service available all day to take you to any of the restaurants or pool bar / areas. Staff is super helpful and friendly and service is exceptional. Fiver star to say the least in all aspects. Food / breakfast was exceptional/ superb bakery / croissants/ and has cooked breakfast options including an amazing omelette/ avocado toast etc .. you name it and they have it. They even have chick peas masala and paranthas for breakfast and it was delicious. Daily they have smoothies too plus the full range of exotic fruits and yogurts etc For lunch they have only 1 option available which is the pool side bar and restaurant. That’s my only negative point for such an amazing place to have 1 lunch option. We went there when there was 50% occupancy of the hotel / I wonder when they are fully booked how would the 1 restaurant cope. Have to say their pool side menu is awesome. Has all the classic food options like sea food pastas / club sandwich/ wagyu burgers etc ( we stayed for a few days so we ended up tasting the entire menu and all the dishes were really amazing ) While we stayed they had a few special nights too like a tandoori night ( Indian curry night with Bollywood music ) - it was superb. One night was a sushi night and it was really good too. One was a fisherman night which was concentrated on seafood - which was excellent as well. They have a pan Asian restaurant which serves Thai and Indian cuisine/ that was fabulous. Overall great restaurants and food was of amazing quality. All the restaurants served us with all the famous well known brands of wines and spirits. They have all the famous wines from France such as Chablis / Sancerre / wines from Bordeaux and Provence etc / champagnes / you wouldn’t miss Europe. Hospitality was top notch and as expected from a brand like raffles. The hotel is very close to Anse Lazio the famous beach. They provide to all the excursions and local trips from their reception. They have their own beach too for a walk and a swim ( which is ok and not as amazing as other beaches on the island ) Their pools are like 47 meters long and are a joy for swimming and they even have snorkelling lessons for beginners. We enjoyed a Bordeaux wine tasting evening too on one of the nights. So overall loads of fun activities are organised by the hotel to keep the guests occupied and entertained. Verdict 5/5 Budget as per website For more pictures and information please visit my instagram page @s50ush

+ We chose this hotel for our honeymoon and are very happy about it. It is a beautiful house with great villas (we had 213 Ocean View) and were very happy with this villa. What we particularly liked was that everything is very green and the beach is particularly beautiful and well-kept, and the rooms also have everything you need. A big compliment to the best concierge I have ever had in a hotel. Raffles ma Brigitte is a heart of a concierge. She makes the impossible possible and in just a few minutes. Having a concierge like her really raises the stars in a hotel. She made our stay even more special. Also a Tolö employee: Pasek, who answered all our questions at any time and always with a smile and was always there when we needed something. - The only negative points are that the hotel is a bit old after years and needs a little renovation here and there. The breakfast could also be a bit more varied. However, I have already told them about this on site and who knows, maybe something will happen here :) Otherwise, it is the perfect place to switch off and relax. Also the island Praslin is for us the number one to stay. Thank you for having us :)

Mostafa Roushdy

We had a great honeymoon start in Anantara Maia Seychelles, the villas were exquisite and the view was out of this world. Our host Adeel took care of us and pampered us in every way. I recommend this place to honeymooners or any couple who wants to be pampered and have a luxurious experience.

Mohammad Alqassim

We had a wonderful four night vacation at Anantara Maia Seychelles with the family during July this year. I cant express my satisfaction enough. The service was beyond my expectations. Special thanks to our host Surya for his excellent service & help. There are plenty of activities that you can do at the resort along with your children. Not all of them were decently priced though. There is only one restaurant at the resort so you might be limited with dinner options if you choose to stay in during the whole period. The villa pool water was a bit cold at that period & there is no option to heat it - this may be a concern to some people. Overall, excellent stay and would come back again for sure.

bruno olory

Fantastic landscape, exceptional place where everyone is plaisant and professional. Thank you chef for delectable food with a special mention for your lobster, thanks to the sommelier for making us discover beautiful beverages and thank you so much Nancy for organizing everything. From the gardeners to the personal in the restaurant passing by the buggy driver and the barman thank you for taking care about us so kindly. Delphine and Bruno

Sebastiaan Korse

We recently stayed at the Anantara Maia Hotel in Mahe, Seychelles, and it was quite the experience! My pregnant wife and I were treated like royalty, with Vivi, our personal butler, taking exceptional care of us. She was always available to handle any request, making us feel truly at home. Chef Hans deserves a special shoutout for his culinary magic! He crafted personalized meals three times a day, taking into account all of my wife's food allergies and cravings. Hans, you're a star! However, a few tweaks could elevate this luxury experience to perfection. While the personal touch from the staff was impeccable, the expectation to dine three times a day felt a bit restrictive, especially since going out required transportation. If they could just bundle the cost and include amenities like the private chef, fresh fruits, laundry, and transport as standard, it would take the 'carefree vacation' vibe to the next level. Overall, the villa was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. I'd rate it an 8.5, with special compliments to Vivi and Hans for making our stay memorable. With a few adjustments, this place could easily score a perfect 10. If you're looking for excellent service and a beautiful stay, you're in good hands here!

Funda Nadiroglu

Positive: villa was gorgeous, butler Vivi was highly skilled, chef Hans was extremely skilled. All people who work there were not fake but really friendly and caring. Negative: so many things have a charge. I needed to sign so many checks. I have been to hotels that had the same price or higher price range and did not need to worry about signing off every little thing. I prefer for this beautiful hotel to raise the prices and make the experience more carefree. So that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars.

Liliane Barros

I’m so happy my husband and I ended up choosing this Four Seasons for our honeymoon. It was beyond what we dreamed of. Service is impeccable, everyone is so attentive and kind. The resort itself has the best beach I’ve ever been. The rooms are stunning and super clean. The restaurants are the best in the island. I can’t wait to go back.

This is a truly wonderful hotel. The setting is magical, the service is exemplary, and the experience is timeless. Alphie, our butler, made every interaction seamless. James Edwards was a superstar, making our stay easy. We can't wait to return.

**Disappointing Experience at the Four Seasons Seychelles** I recently visited the beach at the Four Seasons Seychelles and, although I was considering staying here in the future, my experience left me deeply disappointed. On our visit, we decided to stop by the bar to buy fresh coconuts, as we had done the day before. However, this time, we were told they don’t sell to non-residents. The inconsistency was frustrating, especially since the waitress who informed us was rude about it. It’s worth mentioning that both the bartender and the gentleman who cut the coconuts were kind, which made the experience even more baffling. Next, we attempted to book a table for lunch, only to be told reservations needed to be made 24 hours in advance. When we tried to book for the following day, we were suddenly informed the restaurant was fully booked. Strangely enough, the space was completely empty. It felt like there was either a policy problem or, worse, discrimination at play. It's a shame, as I genuinely liked the beach and was planning to return as a resident on a future trip. However, this experience left a sour taste and raised serious concerns about how guests are treated here. Four Seasons should look into their customer service and policies to ensure consistency and fairness. ---

My husband and I recently stayed here for our honeymoon and we can honestly say it exceeded all of our expectations. The Four Seasons Seychelles has truly secured the best beach on Mahé Island, making it a true paradise. The breathtaking views and pristine sands are even more incredible in person; the pictures simply do not do justice to the beauty of this place. Without a doubt, this is a five-star resort. Whether you're considering this resort for a romantic honeymoon or a dream wedding, it's the perfect spot to create unforgettable memories. Now we did hear great things about the Four Seasons at Desroches Island, but I would highly recommend this resort on the main island for those looking to stay longer and enjoy a wider range of activities. The convenience and access to adventures around Mahé make it the preferable choice for an extended getaway. That said, the staff at Four Seasons is what truly set this resort apart from our other options. Special shoutouts to resort managers Mary and Omar, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was flawless. Their leadership is evident in the fantastic service provided by their team. Our resort driver, Mario, was always punctual and shared fascinating insights about the island and its history. Chef Trevor crafted the most exquisite private dinners, creating culinary experiences that we will never forget. And let’s not forget Samia, the ambience expert, who ensured that every detail was perfect, making our evenings even more magical. Pay no mind to the recent 1 star reviews, as they are clearly from guests that did not bother to familiarize themselves with how to make reservations (Victoria), were impatient with the checkout process (Abdullah), and or simply couldn't plan their dream vacation in advance. If you don’t book your experiences in advance you will run the risk of not being able to make certain reservations when you arrive. This is a five star resort and everything is in high demand. Thank you Four Seasons! Until next time!

The level of personalized service was phenomenal. From the intake to the requested bath in room, to the chef creating a personalized dish at my request. I loved the chat features through WhatsApp, it really helped me stay in great communication with concierge. The perfect holiday experience. Breathtaking views and wonderful attention to detail by all resort staff. Perfect location with a lovely beach.
