A day on foot is ample time to see Victoria, one of the smallest capitals in the world. Located on Mahe, one of the Seychelles' 115 granite and coral islands, Victoria is the republic's business and cultural hub. At its center sits the Victoria Clocktower, a national monument reminiscent of London's "Big Ben" that has kept ticking since 1903, unaffected by the modern glass and concrete development around it. Visit the local art galleries and craft markets to soak up the city's friendly charm.

Tout à été parfait. Très bon accueil de Clara et l'appartement est vraiment tres bien. Moderne, très bien équipé et fonctionnel, tout y est. En plein centre de Victoria, nous avons pu visiter la capitale tranquillement. Le petit (grand) plus, nous avons pu garder l'appartement jusqu'à 21h30 pour attendre notre avion, vraiment très appréciable.

The design and the architecture have a single purpose: to enhance the natural environment and the beauty of the Seychelles! Private pool, outdoor veranda, raw wood, terrace, local craftsmanship, tropical motifs... the Rooms and Suites come in a wide variety of forms. The space and the layouts are generous to highlight the decor inspired by adventure and exoticism.

We’re sure you’ll enjoy your stay at Beau Sejour as you experience all of the things Victoria has to offer.
The hotel is uphill over Victoria, difficult to reach for lack of signals apart from the last stretch (and also then of difficult interpretation) and for the kind of road that’s a real challenge. But when you’re there it’s just fabulous. The view on Victoria and the island in front is breathtaking and there is a big terrace too enjoy it. Room 5 has a great view from the windows. The room was spacious and comfortable with old furniture; it’s obviously an old house restructured as a hotel, the drawback is the bathroom that is large but would need some refurbishment. The staff is kind and helpful. Breakfast is good with eggs made on order, fresh fruit and sweet and savory things to choose. The hotel is at the border of the National park, don’t miss a hike on the trails and a visit to the mission.

Blue Hill is nestles in the flora and fauna of Seychelles in an extremely characteristic, quite and lively area within short distance to the City and is surrounded by the extraordinary beauty of Nature,churches, buildings, shops and monuments. Blue Hill is part of a lovingly restored place. The special charm and the cosy mood of Blue Hill will make you feel as a true as home.
Clean, good standard, views to kill for and super professioanl staff that was ever so helpful even when not at the hotel (such as remote ordering taxis etc). When breakfast starts with fresh passionfruit juice from the garden.. well... and it was just so pleasant and prodessional and not high brow! Well worth the money!

Villa Caballero is barely a 10-minute drive from the Seychelles International airport and 20 minutes from the capital Victoria. It is strategically located, within easy reach of numerous attractions, restaurants and beaches. It is the perfect base for the exploration of Mahe Island with its network of roads. Each luxury chalet has an open plan bedroom with sitting room and open verandah.
Unbelievable experience! From a warm welcome with champagne and fruits to a private tour of Mahe island. Great service, lovely accommodation and friendly host! Perfect way to begin and end our honeymoon. Will definitely recommend!

WARNING! Please be warned NOT to go to this place!!! In all the years that I've been traveling to numerous places in this world, never have I ever experienced such a thing. These are really evil people managing this place. In fact, I would say that the "manager" is one of the worst people I've ever met in my life. My wife and I are usually very polite and peaceful, well-educated people, but I really must be careful not to use words here for this guy that would be inappropriate in public. "Hospitality" is certainly a word he has never heard of. Let me provide some details: first of all, the hotel has more than ridiculous policies, which are, admittedly, stated in the terms that they do send out. Even if I claim that no normal traveler would take the info "There is a deposit of 100 euros collected in cash upon arrival" serious to the point, I admit that it is written somewhere. For your understanding: it means that there is no (literally NO) way to handle the deposit via any credit card, any other currency apart from Euros (seriously, on the Seychelles!), or anything else that you offer. So after long travels to several countries, we just did not have Euros anymore, expecting this not to be a problem in 2022 in a country that does not use Euros. But without Euros in cash, no chance to check in. But what really left me speechless was the way that "manager" treated us. My wife and I arrived there in the evening, seeking for a few hours of sleep before going to the airport at 6 am (we had booked our stay much in advance). There was a major technical issue across the Seychelles on that day, leaving us (and anyone else) without internet or mobile phone connection. The place is isolated and we had all our luggage with us (a taxi had brought us there but obviously left in the meanwhile). We couldn't do anything, they didn't let us check in, we couldn't walk anywhere close with all our luggage and we couldn't call/arrange a taxi. So they understood that we were left without any options, but they just kicked us out! Indeed, you could really see how the guy enjoyed our desperate situation, not offering any kind of help (a phone call with his land line, a drive, a contact to a different place, whatever I asked him for - just nothing). He was just smiling arrogantly, telling us with his more than arrogant accent, "learn how to read the terms of your booking, my friend, it is easy". I am really proud of myself being capable of controling my desires in that situation, I am absolutely certain not everybody will be able to do so in the future (I leave the judgement to the reader about appropriate actions). Another quote from that guy, "Feel free to write a bad review, we've had so many of those, don't worry, we will always find people coming here." Wow, that's what they call "hospitality", right?! Please, do not support such a business. They should learn the very basics of hospitality and general kindness to human beings first, before offering their "service". I wish this business all the worst and I strongly hope they run out of business soon. Please support this natural evolutionary process by not booking a room there. They really do not deserve a single cent of your money and you will save yourself from perturbing your wonderful Seychelles memories with a similarly unfavorable last impression before going to the airport. (Fyi: I finally ran all the way down the hill and found very nice people at the airport, helping me find another place to stay for the night and arrange a taxi to go back and collect my wife and the luggage. So after several hours, at least we got some sleep.)
