About This Guide

Our views picks balance location, design, service, and value — every property on this list has been personally vetted by our review team.
Insider Tips
Book at least 2-3 months ahead for peak season stays in Seychelles.
Consider staying slightly outside the main tourist zone for better value — many of Seychelles's best hotels are in residential neighborhoods.
Always check the hotel's cancellation policy before booking, especially during high season.
Ask the front desk for local restaurant recommendations — hotel concierges in Seychelles often have excellent taste.
If you're visiting for the first time, a central location is worth the premium — you'll save on transport and have more time to explore.

Mahé
An ultra-exclusive adults-only resort of 30 granite-framed villas on Anse Louis on Mahé's west coast, MAIA operates on a unique 'no choice' philosophy — your personal butler takes care of everything, so you need make no decisions.
Beau Vallon
On Mahé's north-west coast in Baie Lazare, the Kempinski delivers European luxury standards with 148 villas and suites on a private bay — an ideal base for exploring Mahé while maintaining access to the outer islands.
Mahé
One of the world's most exclusive private island resorts — just 11 villas on a coral-fringed island north of Silhouette. Barack Obama and Nelson Mandela have stayed here; Brangelina honeymooned here. The conservation programme is extraordinary.
La Digue
On the private Félicité Island in the Seychelles inner islands, Six Senses Zil Pasyon offers 30 pool villas of extraordinary natural splendour — perched on granite boulders above the Indian Ocean, with the brand's acclaimed wellness programme.
Banyan Tree's Seychelles outpost on Intendance Bay — one of the wildest and most beautiful beaches on Mahé — offers 60 pool villas in a setting of extraordinary tropical drama, with the acclaimed Banyan Tree Spa.
Anse Royale
Perched on a hillside above Petite Anse, the Four Seasons Seychelles is the archipelago's benchmark of understated luxury — 67 villas in the jungle, a private beach accessible only to guests, and a spa built around the natural granite of the hillside.
