Best suited to independent travellers and families who prefer to self-cater and travellers who want to be close to the water. Check that its location matches how you plan to spend your days before you book.
Location
The listing gives the address as La Batie Road, Beau Vallon. By its map pin, it is under 1 km in a straight line from Beau Vallon, about 12 km in a straight line from Seychelles International Airport and about 2.7 km from Victoria.
Beau Vallon is the long, sandy bay on Mahé’s north-west coast and the island’s busiest beach area, with restaurants, small shops and water-sports operators along the beach road. North Mahé also takes in quieter settlements such as Bel Ombre, Glacis and Anse Etoile.
Rooms and style at Josies Cottage
Room types on the listing are One-Bedroom Apartment, Apartment and Three-Bedroom House. With only a few categories to choose from, it is worth asking which unit faces which way. As a self-catering place, check what the kitchen or kitchenette includes.
Facilities at Josies Cottage
On the listing, the headline facilities are beachfront, airport shuttle, family rooms, free WiFi, free parking and non-smoking rooms. In practice, 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. Self-catering means shopping for groceries, which in Seychelles can be limited outside the larger villages. Seychelles has two broad monsoon seasons, and wind and sea conditions on any given beach change with them.
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.
