“Wonderful place!”
Beach front 2 floors rooms with super confortable beds. You can sleep hearing the ocean. Super sweet host Catherine, very helpful in everything you might need. She also provided us a local phone sim to facilitate communication with local tour operators. The place is very well located, in the north west very closed to a promenade area with restaurants, bars, a pharmacy, several car rental and supermarkets (one very closed 2-3 minutes walk), tour operators. The location allowed us to save some money on taxi as no extra costs for the tours we had; pickup was easy/included. For fishing lovers it a perfect spot for you. You can just go fishing from your door👌 You can buy fresh fruits and fish a few meters from the place. We couldn't ask for more in this vacation ❤️

“Pure paradise, the place feels like a dream”
This place is amazing, located on the beachfront with access to beautiful beach. Lots of cafes, takeaways, shops, water activities nearby. Huge thanks to Catherine and Marquise for welcoming us and help us getting around, we felt like visiting a good friend and huge thanks to the team for taking care of us daily. The place is well equipped with everything you might need. And the views are breathtaking, I can’t count how many times we said ‘wow’ during our stay. The wi-fi works great, I had a video call without any issues. It’s an amazing place and we’re looking forward to visit again.

“Idylic stay”
Location was superb, staff were excellent they left fruit and lime juice every morning and there was a phone charged and with credit if you wanted to book a taxi or restaurant. Catherine was so helpful giving us restaurant recommendations and places to go. The apartment is right on the beach and you could not ask for better location. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need would definitely recommend.

Everything was amazing: the location - directly on the best part of Beau Vallon beach - is probably one of the best you can find on whole Mahé island. The hosts are amazing and always available to help. The services in the area are super: supermarket, local shop, food options, kiosks to organize excursions, pharmacy, ATM, car rental... you really have everything you need!

“Amazing stay at this exceptional traditional Seychellois guest house.”
Having the beach as our front garden, it is only steps to the sea from your own terrace. Catherine is a super host and made us very welcome from the moment we arrived. The apartments are incredibly spacious and very well furnished/equipped, from coffee/tea to oil and vinegar. We enjoyed the fresh fruit platter and juice that was provided each morning, a lovely touch.

“A fantastic time relaxing on the beach.”
This is without a doubt the best place to stay in Beau Vallon, right on the beach and a few steps away from good restaurants and dive centre. The apartment designed and decor is relaxed yet refined and honours the location. Charming hosts who brought pastry treats on my birthday!
