Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa
"Beautiful property, you really feel the jungle paradise and the beach area is just perfect! The staff is beyond compare, helpful and friendly. The pool with the ocean and mountains in the background is the cherry on top."
laïla, Seychelles, A Tribute Portfolio
"We stayed at Laila for one night at the end of our trip to Seychelles and it was perfect! The location is wonderful - right on the beach, with access to beachfront cabanas and restaurants. The hotel was wonderfully maintained and so serene. Highly recommend during your trip to Mahe!"

Canopy by Hilton Seychelles Resort
"I absolutely loved my stay at Canopy by Hilton Seychelles and would return without hesitation. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout my stay. I switched to this hotel shortly before my trip after seeing photos, reviews, and learning it was one of Mahé’s newer resorts. It exceeded every expectation. The property is spacious yet easy to navigate, with beautiful landscaping, a stunning pool overlooking the ocean, easy beach access, and well-lit walking paths that felt very secure. Watching the sunset over the water each evening became one of my favorite parts of the trip. The room was modern, spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed. The breakfast was exceptional—one of the best hotel spreads I’ve experienced. There were multiple stations, an incredible variety of options, a dedicated Creole station, and even a fun kids’ area. The staff truly made the experience special. Everyone was warm, welcoming, remembered me each day, and made me feel at home. I also loved both restaurants, especially the main restaurant, where I ended up eating three nights in a row. Although I don’t have children, I appreciated that this was a family-friendly resort without ever feeling crowded or noisy. It was peaceful, relaxing, and seemed to offer something for everyone. Free parking also made exploring Mahé incredibly easy. If I ever return to Mahé, I wouldn’t even consider staying anywhere else."
Four Seasons Resort Seychelles
"This is one of the best FS properties. From the location to the staff to the food. Everything is a 10/10. Truly a 5 star hotel."
Crown Beach Hotel
"We loved our stay at the Crown Beach Hotel, and really couldn't recommend it highly enough. Super comfortable beds, a beautiful view (upgrade to a deluxe sea view room, it's definitely worth it!) and wonderful attentive staff. Ideal if you're looking for a quiet and relaxing few days away. On many occasions we had the beach to ourselves. Perfect!"
Le Nautique Luxury Beachfront Apartments
"Loved the hospitality of the staff there. We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and the boutique feel of the property."
Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa
"Everything was EXCELLENT!!!"
Coral Strand Smart Choice Hotel
"The staff at the front desk and the writers and waitresses were also so fabulous when I was there by myself because my husband was in the local hospital due to a spinal cord injury that happened on the island. They embracing with love and kindness, and I appreciated it so much!"
