Residence Monte-Cristo is an apartment on Mahé, in the West Mahé area. Facilities on the listing include outdoor swimming pool, airport shuttle and family rooms. It lists 3 room types.
Best for
It suits independent travellers and families who prefer to self-cater. It is a less natural fit for some trips: shops and restaurants are spread out in this part of Mahé.
Location
The listing gives the address as Monte-Cristo – Les Canelles, Anse Boileau. Its map pin puts it about 4.5 km in a straight line from Anse Boileau, about 7.3 km in a straight line from Seychelles International Airport and about 14 km from Victoria.
The west coast of Mahé is a string of small villages and bays, including Port Glaud, Grand Anse, Anse Boileau and the sheltered, shallow Anse à la Mouche. It is calm and residential, with a few restaurants rather than a resort strip.
Rooms and style at Residence Monte-Cristo
Room types on the listing are One-Bedroom Apartment, Three-Bedroom Apartment and Two-Bedroom Apartment. 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 Residence Monte-Cristo
Facilities shown on the listing include outdoor swimming pool, airport shuttle, family rooms, free WiFi and free parking. 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
This side of Mahé is quiet and spread out, so a hire car makes a real difference. 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. Buses cover most of the island, and hire cars (driving on the left) or taxis give more freedom.
