The Olive Tree is an apartment in La Misère on Mahé. Its listing shows outdoor swimming pool, airport shuttle and family rooms among the main facilities. It lists 3 room types.
Best for
It suits independent travellers and families who prefer to self-cater and arrivals and departures, given the short distance to the airport. 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 La Misere Road, Mahe, Misere. Its map pin puts it about 4.2 km in a straight line from Anse Boileau, about 6 km in a straight line from Seychelles International Airport and about 5 km from Victoria.
West Mahé runs from Port Launay and Port Glaud south through Grand Anse and Anse Boileau to Anse à la Mouche. It is quieter than Beau Vallon, with west-facing bays, sunset views and the Port Launay marine park in the north.
Rooms and style at The Olive Tree
The rooms listed are One-Bedroom Apartment with shared pool, Deluxe Villa with Mountain View and One-Bedroom Apartment with private pool. 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 The Olive Tree
On the listing, the headline facilities are outdoor swimming pool, airport shuttle, family rooms, free WiFi, free parking and non-smoking 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
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. 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. Buses cover most of the island, and hire cars (driving on the left) or taxis give more freedom.
