Bambous River Lodge is a guest house in Bel Ombre on Mahé. Facilities on the listing include outdoor swimming pool, airport shuttle and family rooms. It lists 3 room types.
Best for
It suits families who need a family room and travellers who like a small, locally run place. It is a less natural fit for some trips: a restaurant on site is not among the listed facilities, so plan where to eat.
Location
The listing gives the address as P O Box 925, mount Simpson Belombre, Mahe Seychelles, Bel Ombre. By its map pin, it is about 1.7 km in a straight line from Beau Vallon, about 13 km in a straight line from Seychelles International Airport and about 4.1 km from Victoria.
This is the part of Mahé where most visitors who want a beach and a choice of places to eat end up. Beau Vallon bay is the focus, while Bel Ombre, Glacis and the northern tip are quieter and more residential.
Rooms and style at Bambous River Lodge
The listing shows Studio, Two Bedroom Apartment with Balcony and Sea View and Two-Bedroom Villa. With only a few categories to choose from, it is worth asking which unit faces which way.
Facilities at Bambous River Lodge
Facilities shown on the listing include outdoor swimming pool, airport shuttle, family rooms, free WiFi, free parking, non-smoking rooms and tea/coffee maker in all rooms. In practice, there is a pool when the sea is rough, an airport shuttle is listed, though it is usually arranged and charged separately and parking is listed, which helps if you hire a car.
Trade-offs and what to know
Beau Vallon can be busy by day, and sea conditions on the north-west coast change with the monsoon seasons. Small, family-run places offer fewer services than a hotel, so reception hours and meal options are worth confirming. Conditions on the beaches change between the two monsoon seasons, which is worth checking for your travel dates.
Getting there and getting around
International flights arrive at Seychelles International Airport on the east coast of Mahé. Mahé has a bus network, but a hire car or taxis are the easier way to reach beaches and viewpoints.
