Description

Mountain Lodge on Praslin Island offers cottages and two-bedroom cottages featuring air conditioning in bedrooms and large fans elsewhere to ensure comfort. The accommodations include spacious kitchens with full equipment, balconies, terraces, and outdoor dining areas. The property is set in a village close to forested areas where birdsong greets you in the morning. Guests appreciate the well-maintained cleanliness, reliable WiFi, 24-hour security, and free parking on site. The owner, who is also a licensed taxi driver, provides personalized support including car rental arrangements and airport transfers. While it is not a luxury five-star hotel, Mountain Lodge is praised for its spacious private lodgings with magnificent views, especially from the balconies, and a peaceful, nature-immersed atmosphere. Family rooms and non-smoking options are available, and the garden surroundings add to the relaxed vibe. This lodge balances comfort and practicality for travelers wanting a quiet stay near nature with easy access to local life.

Location

Mountain Lodge is located at Serena Estate on Praslin Island, Seychelles, about 470 meters from Anse Volbert Beach. The Praslin Island airport (PRI) is approximately 5 km away, making transfers convenient. The lodge is situated in a village setting close to a forest, providing natural surroundings and bird sounds. The access road is described as steep and narrow, so having a rental car is recommended for ease of travel. Nearby, guests can find supermarkets and local takeaway spots, enhancing convenience. The lodge’s proximity to the beach and forest allows guests to enjoy both coastal and natural experiences within a short distance from their accommodation.

Tips

Renting a car is highly recommended due to the steep and narrow access road and to explore Praslin Island more easily.
Contact the owner for assistance with car rentals and transfers as they offer competitive rates.
Bring or request beach towels since the lodge provides them, and enjoy the large balconies for sunrise views.

Very, very nice accomodation, with beautiful view and very friendly owner.
We spent there comfotrable week.

House is very well equipped and big, it has balcony, terrace, outdoor dining area, sun beds. Kitchen is clean and well equipped as well. It is placed in a village so you live close to local people, which is a big advantage to me. It is close to the forest, so birds' sounds wake you up in the morning :)
AC unit in bedroom, other rooms have huge and efficient fans and there is good ventilation in the house.
Road is quite steep from the village but it is normal is this area. You can walk but best solution is to have a rental car. Also, owner is a licensed taxi driver so he can pick you up.

I really recommend this accomodation :)

A special vacation in this special home! Thank you so much for hosting us in your wonderful home.
The drive up isn't that steep, and the location is super convenient.

In 20+ years of travelling we have never returned to the same accommodation twice, so it says something that this was our second stay at Mango Lodge. For us this is a perfect stay; privacy in one of the wonderful cabins on stilts, amazing views across the bay, great support from Lesley and her team when you want it and everything you could want within the cabin including a great kitchen area. As others have said, we would recommend hiring a car (Lesley can help) not just to get up the hill to Mango Lodge but because Praslin deserves exploring and a car gives you so much more flexibility. Overall the perfect accommodation for an amazing trip. Thanks Lesley.

A Magical Experience at Mango Lodge Staying at Mango Lodge was an unforgettable experience! The view is simply breathtaking – waking up among the treetops and watching the sun rise over the forest felt like a dream. The open bedroom design brought us closer to nature, and falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle was something truly special. The lodge has a charming and bohemian style, with comfortable beds and a spacious layout that offers all the amenities you could need. It’s perfect for families or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. Nature is quite literally at your doorstep, creating a sense of tranquility like no other. Leslie, Sofia, and all the animals made our stay even more memorable – they were welcoming, helpful, and full of warmth. We will definitely be back! Thank You for having us! Note: A car is necessary to get here, but it’s absolutely worth the trip!

My husband and I recently stayed here for a week. I cannot sing its praises enough. We stayed in one of the bungalows on stilts with the amazing bay view. I’m not going to pretend this is 5 star luxury but having done that multiple times I can honestly say I preferred Mango lodge. You can safely sleep with the doors to the balcony wide open and fall asleep to the sound of the sea. Well equipped little kitchen and spacious private accommodation. I would definitely recommend renting a car- this was seamlessly organised by the amazing Les. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Nice and friendly! Beautiful view from the upper balcony! The location is rather poor – due to the very steep, narrow street! A challenge for tourists!

The landlord and landlady are very friendly and helpful!

The property was amazing, and we felt confused how it was only 2 star. Firstly, the views are absolutely incredible as you can see on the photos attached. We were often waking up around 5am to see the sunrise which was really nice. The rooms are cleaned by the housekeepers every day, to a great standard. They are large rooms with so much space as you can see in the photo, we stayed in the chalet and were more than impressed with the room. They had beach towels, kitchen is fully equipped with all amenities, you can easily cook there if you wanted to. The balcony space is huge, and comes with unbelievable views. The owner Leslie is an incredible person and host, nothing is too much for her and she will go out of her way to help you and suggest things, I would suggest to anyone thinking of stopping here to reach out to her with any questions about excursions, rental cars as she will find things far cheaper than you see online, all very reputable. She helped us when we had trouble one morning and gave us a ride to the ferry terminal and refused to take cash, without her we would have missed our ferry to La Digue and we couldn’t thank her enough for this. Rental car is a must, again contact Leslie she found a car for us which was brilliant and so cheap when you’re used to European prices. Overall we loved our stay here, it’s a fabulous place to see amazing views first and last thing in the day. Close by to supermarkets and amazing takeaway spots, Leo’s food truck is a must! Should we ever return to the Seychelles we wouldn’t hesitate a second to stop here again. Thank you so much Leslie and the team!

As you may have read in other comments, the view is exceptional and for that alone, it is worth going there! Large apartment opening onto the sea, it was magical! Yes, it's a climb to get there, especially if like us you don't have a car, but the reward is great! Spacious apartment with a nice colonial decor. And for those who love animals like us, they have several dogs and cats, each one nicer than the other 😍Little icing on the cake: my son forgot his wallet when leaving and when we returned from La Digue, Lesley brought it back to the port during our 15 min stopover in Praslin! Really, I recommend this accommodation with my eyes closed!!!

It was a pleasure to be there and I thank Lesley for her warm welcome, help and advice. The breakfast was very good with a variety of different fresh fruits. Even though the chalet is not equipped with air conditioning - but with a fan - we did not suffer from the heat. *The only challenging thing is the road to the location:) I think that is good value for money**

The room is clean and hygienic, the geographical environment is very good, the service is warm and thoughtful, and they help to contact and book a car for pick-up.
