Best for
Best suited to independent travellers and families who prefer to self-cater, travellers who want to be close to the water and arrivals and departures, given the short distance to the airport. Check that its location matches how you plan to spend your days before you book.
Location
The listing gives the address as P.O BOX 4128 POINTE AU SEL, Mahe. By its map pin, it is about 1.1 km in a straight line from Anse Royale, about 5.9 km in a straight line from Seychelles International Airport and about 14 km from Victoria.
The east coast of Mahé runs south from the airport through Pointe Larue, Anse aux Pins and Au Cap to Anse Royale. It is a lived-in stretch of coast with local shops and takeaways, reef-protected shallows and the main road close to the shore.

Trade-offs and what to know
The east coast road runs close to the shore, and the reef-protected shallows suit paddling more than long swims at low tide. Self-catering means shopping for groceries, which in Seychelles can be limited outside the larger villages. Sea and weather conditions vary with the south-east and north-west monsoons, so ask the property what to expect on your dates.
Getting there and getting around
International flights arrive at Seychelles International Airport on the east coast of Mahé. Buses cover most of the island, and hire cars (driving on the left) or taxis give more freedom.
