Best for
Best suited to independent travellers and families who prefer to self-cater. It is a less natural fit for some trips: neither a pool nor beachfront access is among the listed facilities.
Location
The listing gives the address as Fisherman’s Cove estate Bel Ombre, Bel Ombre. Its map pin puts it about 1.1 km in a straight line from Beau Vallon, about 13 km in a straight line from Seychelles International Airport and about 3.4 km from Victoria.
Beau Vallon is the long, sandy bay on Mahé’s north-west coast and the island’s busiest beach area, with restaurants, small shops and water-sports operators along the beach road. North Mahé also takes in quieter settlements such as Bel Ombre, Glacis and Anse Etoile.
Rooms and style at Whispering Palms
The rooms listed are Apartment with Garden View and Apartment with Sea View. With only a few categories to choose from, it is worth asking which unit faces which way. For self-catering, confirm the kitchen equipment and where the nearest shop is.
Facilities at Whispering Palms
Facilities shown on the listing include free WiFi, free parking and non-smoking rooms. In practice, parking is listed, which helps if you hire a car.
Trade-offs and what to know
Beau Vallon can be busy by day, and sea conditions on the north-west coast change with the monsoon seasons. 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. Mahé has a bus network, but a hire car or taxis are the easier way to reach beaches and viewpoints.
