Set in Port Glaud on Mahé, Villa Vanilla is a bed and breakfast. Its listing shows outdoor swimming pool, family rooms and breakfast among the main facilities. It lists 2 room types.
Best for
Best suited to families who need a family room and travellers who like a small, locally run place. 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 Sans Soucis Rd, Port Glaud. Its map pin puts it about 8.6 km in a straight line from Anse Boileau, about 12 km in a straight line from Seychelles International Airport and about 5.7 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 Villa Vanilla
Room types on the listing are Deluxe Double Room and Two-Bedroom Deluxe Apartment. With only a few categories to choose from, it is worth asking which unit faces which way.
Facilities at Villa Vanilla
On the listing, the headline facilities are outdoor swimming pool, family rooms, breakfast, free WiFi, free parking and tea/coffee maker in all rooms. In practice, there is a pool when the sea is rough, parking is listed, which helps if you hire a car and breakfast is mentioned on the listing; check whether your rate includes it.
Trade-offs and what to know
This side of Mahé is quiet and spread out, so a hire car makes a real difference. Small, family-run places offer fewer services than a hotel, so reception hours and meal options are worth confirming. 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. Mahé has a bus network, but a hire car or taxis are the easier way to reach beaches and viewpoints.
