Search cabins in Mahé

Our stay at Denis’s Runway Lodge in Mahé turned out to be an unexpected blessing during a very stressful situation. Because of the disruptions in the Middle East, we were stranded on the island with very little clarity about our flights. Denis welcomed us with incredible kindness and treated us more like family than guests. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond. He picked us up, prepared the best breakfast we had during our entire stay in Seychelles, and constantly checked in to make sure everyone in the house was comfortable. His home was full of travelers who had also been stranded, yet Denis managed everything calmly and generously, taking care of each person as if they were his own guests. What truly stood out was how much he cared. He used his personal connections to help coordinate information with the airlines and later even drove us downtown to our next accommodation when our plans changed. In a difficult situation far from home, Denis showed remarkable hospitality, warmth, and generosity. If you are staying in Mahé, especially near the airport, I cannot recommend Denis’s place enough. You won’t just find a place to stay—you’ll find someone who genuinely looks after his guests like a brother. Thank you, Denis! The world needs more people like you!

The apartment was spacious, nice pool to rest at the end of the day. The owner was nice and allowed us to take a shower after check-out before our late flight back home.

Amazing place to stay with family. Clean, well maintained and you have everything what you need! If you don’t just text Hubert or Debbie and they will make sure you get it!

Everything. Food, staff, ambience.

Booking online is always a bit of a gamble, but the Forest Lodge is exactly as promised. All the photos are legit and it is indeed a very cozy guest house a bit away from all the noise, except for the many animal sounds from the surrounding beautiful forest. What we valued most while staying there for 12 nights was first of all the outstanding kindness and helpfulness of the manager and his staff. We were even lucky enough to have been offered a dinner, which was absolutely fantastic. As mentioned, we were very happy with the ambient and the abundance of space in the room/studio. Siting on the balcony and drinking your favorite morning/evening drink while watching birds and fruit bats flying all around is as good as it gets. We were surprised how well the staff maintain clean and tidy rooms as well as the surroundings of the house. We were also a big fan of the in-house drinks fridge, which is self-service. The only thing that could see some improvement in my opinion is the kitchenette. It is useful, but very basic. The stove is painfully slow. A gas stove or induction plate would be a superb upgrade. For some people, it should be noted, that there is quite a walk to the beach. There is a small local beach, but it is not as nice as the main one in Beau Vallon and it is not extremely close either. That said, we had no problem walking every day and using the bus. There is plenty of bus stops all around and it is a good way to explore the island. From the lodge to the main road is about 8-10 minutes walk, and a further 1 minute to the bus stop and another 2 minutes to the closest shop. The local beach is around 10-15 minutes of walking and the Beau Vallon beach is around 30 minutes of walking. If this is a problem for you, rent a car. There is free parking at the lodge.

We had a wonderful time staying at Felicie Cottage and Resort. It’s an incredibly clean and well-maintained place. The staff is very responsive and caring. Emma even offered to take us to the airport because our car was reserved only for the second day of our trip. We were also treated to some delicious papayas and a couple of coconuts, which were far better than any you'd find on the street or at the beach. The cottage is equipped with everything you need: a large bathroom, a bedroom with a comfortable mattress, and a kitchen with all the essentials if you want to cook. There is also lovely tableware, a coffee machine, and a big refrigerator. We especially loved the grill on the terrace and used it several times. The best beach is just a five-minute drive away, and every morning, I enjoyed walking to the beach right across from the hotel. There is a good grocery store nearby for basic needs. The place feels safe, peaceful, and perfect for meditation. We also appreciated the clean and well-kept pool. I have already recommended this place to all my friends. Thank you for the comfort!

This place is just amazing and what the owners accomplished here is truelly remarkable. Incredibly clean and nicely decorated, the most beautiful pool facing what has to be one of the best views on the island.The garden is an exotic paradise and the sunset from the veranda just fills your heart with joy. So spacious and equiped with all you need in the kitchen, this was our best stay on the island and among the top 3 of all the accomodations we stayed anywhere. There are 2 beautiful beaches, one just steps away from the house and the other one at walking distance, picture perfect and with a lovely restaurant perfect for dinner. We are greatful to Joe and Maagie for welcoming us in their corner of paradise, looking forward to come back!

Very clean and spacious bungalow. Well-equipped, the kitchen equipment is new, towels and linen - fresh and fragrant. The spacious terrace overlooking the tropical garden and turtle pen is wonderful. Although there are several other bungalows on the property, their location and the lush garden make you not feel the presence of other guests. The hosts are very warm and nice - you can ask them at any time. There is also a washing machine that you can use to do your laundry. As for the location, the property is actually right next to the beach, just cross the street (quite busy). The beach is nice, but the sea is quite shallow, it is better to go to another beach (e.g. 10 minutes by bus to Anse Royal). A well-equipped supermarket is right next door, open every day from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Two fruit stalls are about 400 meters from the house, open from the morning. Bus stops are very close, buses run quite often in both directions. We recommend this kind of transport, you can get almost everywhere. The ticket card can be purchased or topped up anywhere (e.g. at a supermarket nearby), one ride costs 10 rupees  Right next to it there is a craft village where you can buy handicrafts, and a 15-minute walk away - the distillery of the most famous Takamaka rum, which you can visit and take part in a rum rasting. There are several restaurants and takeaways nearby, but honestly - we won't recommend anything, because generally the food here is expensive or very expensive, and the taste is very average.

This was the most delightful stay - the highlight of our trip! The chalets are at the top of a steep hill - offering the most unbelievable views, from our balcony, of the Beau Vallon Bay, the sea and town and the forest at the back. The chalets are private, in a lovely garden and quiet area. We were met by our super helpful and kind hostess, Celestine, and found a lovely chalet with flowers and a fridge stocked with a welcoming drink (see photo of our coconut drink displayed on our balcony with a view), fruit, milk, water, juice, eggs, bread, butter, jam, etc, ... We had two chalets. Both are spacious, super clean, well furnished and "feels like home". They are equipped with everything - stove, microwave, washing machine, toaster, Weber braai (barbecue), all the "usual" kitchen utensils, iron - even umbrellas for all of us. Celestine checked daily whether we need anything and spoiled us with homemade snacks (the "bread fruit fries" were delicious) and fruit from her lovely garden. She also treated us to a delicious fish. All these wonderful treats were offered out of her kindness. Celestine kindly offered to organise a taxi whenever we needed one and she helped us wherever she could. When "at home", we mostly spent our time sitting on our balcony, enjoying the incredible ever-changing views. We enjoyed walking in the area and felt completely safe. We recommend a visit to the Botanical Garden (in Victoria itself). It is beautifully done and maintained and we saw amazing trees and plants. We went by taxi.

Great place, we loved our house and the position of the chalet near the beach and close to most of the island's best beaches. Mahe is beautiful and having a chalet with a fridge and kitchen was really convenient if we wanted to have breakfast or dinner at home. I would definitely reccomend this place!
