The Runway Lodge is a bed and breakfast on Mahé, in the East Mahé and Anse Royale area. The listing highlights outdoor swimming pool, airport shuttle and breakfast. It lists 4 room types.
Best for
It suits travellers who like a small, locally run place and arrivals and departures, given the short distance to the airport. 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 Anse Des Genets, Pointe Larue, Seychelles. Its map pin puts it about 6.7 km in a straight line from Anse Royale, about 1.1 km in a straight line from Seychelles International Airport and about 8.6 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.
Rooms and style at The Runway Lodge
Room types on the listing are Double or Twin Room with Pool View, Double Room with Garden View, Double Room with Mountain View and King Room with Sea View. With only a few categories to choose from, it is worth asking which unit faces which way.
Facilities at The Runway Lodge
Facilities shown on the listing include outdoor swimming pool, airport shuttle, breakfast, 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
The east coast road runs close to the shore, and the reef-protected shallows suit paddling more than long swims at low tide. 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. Buses cover most of the island, and hire cars (driving on the left) or taxis give more freedom.
