6 Best Hotels in Seychelles

A family-run place on Beau Vallon beach, all of its pleasant, clean, and comfortable rooms have AC, standing fans, balconies, and sea views. The junior suites upstairs are huge and have TVs and baths as well as showers. Though lacking any particular style, the location can't be beat, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Meals in the Takamaka Restaurant (a diseased 400-year-old Takamaka tree was ingeniously repurposed to support the restaurant's thatched roof) are toes-in-the-sand affairs, with a small but sweet sea view.

Part of a former vanilla plantation in La Digue's lush interior at the foot of the island's only mountain, this lovely old chateau is surrounded by a tranquil garden filled with orchids and exotic flowers. Rooms are large and clean, mostly with mountain views, and the rate includes a good breakfast and free Wi-Fi. A lovely pool and restaurant/bar make for relaxing public areas where you can get to know fellow guests.

Located on more than 200 acres of forest and 1 kilometer of beachfront, this lovely jungle-themed hotel is the only property on Anse Bois de Rose, and every room has sea views. Numerous extras like hammocks, a gym, library, spa, free shuttle to Anse Lazio, and a nature trail make it a great choice for families. The "Fisherman's Wharf"—a gorgeous pavilion over the water—is the perfect place for a sundowner or a wedding ceremony. Perched on a granite outcrop and separated from the main hotel by a walkway, the Black Parrot junior suites provide a honeymoon section (no kids under 14 on this side). In addition to access to the main hotel's numerous facilities, guests will have a secluded atmosphere, magnificent views of the sea, and perks like iPod docks and espresso machines. All rooms throughout the property are spacious and modern, with satellite TV and other conveniences.

A four-minute walk to popular Beau Vallon beach, these sleek apartments provide independent travelers with modern lodgings complete with many conveniences. From a studio to a three-bedroom space, all units enjoy a balcony area, generously equipped kitchens, TVs, ceilings fans, and laundry facilities. Large bedrooms come with a/c, which can cool the rest of the apartment as needed. German management ensures that everything runs smoothly, and the friendly multilingual staff are ready to assist with any request. A hearty breakfast is available by the lovely pool area, which is surrounded by a lush garden.

Set in a lovely palm- and takamaka-tree-filled garden right on Grand Anse beach, this hotel excels in friendly service and homey atmosphere. The 32 rooms are set in eight units of four rooms each (two upstairs and two downstairs), decorated in a beach chic theme, with king-size beds and all the amenities. All rooms have balconies with sea views and can interconnect (great for families). The large open-air restaurant resides under a huge thatch roof, and serves a good buffet of both local and international cuisine.

The 44 A-frame villas of La Digue's oldest hotel that dot Anse Réunion beach are fully equipped with the expected amenities of a large hotel. The simple chalets of white painted takamaka wood and thatched latanier leaves are pleasant and comfortable, but don't come here expecting elegance or pizzazz. However, with the beach just outside your front door, a large pool overlooking the sea, and great sunset views, chances are you won't spend too much time inside. A spa with a variety of massage treatments, an on-site dive center, numerous nearby hikes, and excursions to the nearby smaller islands mean that you never need to search far to keep yourself occupied. The lodge also offers the nine-room Beach House, which can be rented in its entirety or room by room, and the Petit Village, comprised of eight attached rooms in a secluded corner of the gardens.
