Description

Coral Strand Smart Choice is a four-star hotel established in 1972 and renovated in 2012, located on Mahe Island’s northwest shore. The property features 165 rooms within a five-story horseshoe-shaped building, set on a 35,000 m² beachfront territory along the famous 3-kilometer Beau Vallon Beach. Rooms include various ocean, garden, and mountain views, with options such as Signature Double, Signature Superior, and a Penthouse with ocean views. Guests can enjoy three on-site restaurants offering international, sushi, and Indian cuisines, as well as a bar with live music in the evenings. The hotel provides family-friendly amenities including a children’s pool and cots on request. Facilities also include a swimming pool, banquet and conference halls, a souvenir shop, and limited paid Wi-Fi in public areas. The attentive staff, especially the guest relations team, receives high praise for exceptional service, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.

Location

The hotel sits directly on Beau Vallon Beach, just 50 meters from the sandy shore, allowing easy beach access. It is 11 km from Seychelles International Airport (SEZ), approximately a 20-minute drive by car. The capital city, Victoria, lies 5 km away, providing additional shopping and dining options nearby. Close to the hotel are local restaurants such as Mahek (79 m away), known for Indian cuisine with a chef trained in prestigious Indian hotels, and Latino Tropical (109 m). The hotel is also adjacent to water activities including diving and snorkeling centers right on the beach. This central location offers guests convenient access to nightlife, markets, and local eateries within walking distance.

Tips

Book rooms away from ongoing renovation areas to avoid noise disturbances.
Bring your own charging adapters if traveling from abroad, although the hotel provides various socket options.
For beach comfort, consider bringing or renting umbrellas and sun loungers early as these are limited.

The hotel has a great location with lots of activities around such as direct beach access, restaurants and bars. It is really easy to get around the area, but the hotel also offers several dining options. The rooms are spacious and redesigned, well stocked from amenities. What is more important that the guest relations services are excellent. The staff is exceptional, than makes the difference. I wish to highlight the hardwork of Chamara, Front Office Manager who always smiles and truly cares if everything up to the guest’s liking. As well as the Reception team was great, specially Ezra. The shift leader, Sakura was assisting me booking a tour that she was very knowledgeable about and took great care of me. Shihan the Guest Relations Manager was exceptional, impossible is nothing for him and goes above and beyond to make your stay special.

We had a wonderful stay at Coral Strand Hotel. It just underwent major renovations in 2025/2026 and the rooms are so chic and modern! Located directly at the beach including a pool area. Very clean, great service (we especially loved Arul who served the best coffee and was always so friendly and courteous) and overall a great experience. Thank you!

Everything was good and all were very cooperative. We had 4 nights stay in this property and they all were very good. Only little amount was missing but they cooperated well and gave vouchers insted of that. And breakfast mohit bisht is also very nice and awesome chef and human.
Thankyou

Wonderful staff and service. Could not fault at all.
We were looked after very well. Reception staff very helpful just to mention Sanjay and Sakura. Huge choices for breakfast where restaurant staff Sandesh and Sidd who went out of their way to help us. By the swimming pool we got excellent service from Krishna and Prabhat. I would definitely recommend this hotel for holiday in Seychelles.

Coral strands was indeed a smart choice for us .
The location was perfect with direct access to the beach and shopping and key facilities in the vicinity considering transport
is not easy here .
But that’s just the beginning . The team here is very friendly . Starting with Shihan at the guest relations desk , very helpful and ensures that everything is taken care of . They figured out our preferences and gave us their best . The birthday cake and room decor was very thoughtful .
The room was lavish , house keeping on point and the restaurant felt like home .
Restaurant staff were always keen to serve both at breakfast and the ocean deck .
They had taken care of every detail like the switch board had all kind of socket options wherever u are from . This was a big deal not having to run around for a charging socket .Chef Paul insisted not to take breakfast before a rough sea trip to Praslin . Again empathy and care .
The general warmth of the place and the staff is a clear positive . Made our vacation extra special !

Nice hotel and good location

06.11.2025 Gordon

Excellent location within 10min walk of many restaurants around the beach area, comfortable room, healthy breakfast and friendly staff especially the housekeeping and porter staff

The hotel is under renovation: It was very noisy the entire time, and I didn't get a good night's rest.
The room was very small, and the soundproofing was so poor that I could hear my neighbor using the restroom.
Location: Excellent, close to everything.
Breakfast: Ok, average.
Not worth the price. Highly recommended!

30.05.2025 Guest

I love the location on the beach front. The room was large and super clean. The room rate was acceptable for my 6 nights stay. Mr. Shihan and Ms. Sakura were very help during my stay and also all the he staff.
Housing keeping is great.

27.04.2025 Guest

Half of the hotel is being renovated (noise, dust, garbage), the entrance to the dining room, the beach and the room is through a construction site, but no discounts are given in connection with this. The staff is not friendly, the room is very small and smelly, despite the recent renovation. The food is varied, but tasteless. Drinks at dinner are for an additional fee. There are no umbrellas, only a few by the pool. There are not enough sun loungers on the beach. The waiters in the dining room are not helpful. The only plus is the first coastline. Price and quality do not match!

It is a Indian cuisine. It serves veg as well as Non Veg. The chef is from India and he has worked in prime hotels in India like the TAJ and the Oberoi. The service from this chef is just awesome. The way he decorates the dishes is next level. The taste of the food is so good. There are only 2 Indian cuisines in Seychelles as per the locals and one of them is this one in Coral Strands. It is a must visit for lunch or dinner and the view from the restaurant is so wonderful and sizzling.

08.03.2017 Lothar

The indian restaurant is part of the "Coral Strand" hotel. It offers good and authentic Indian food. Like all better restaurants in the higher price range.

06.01.2017 Pavel

Standard Indian restaurant you would expect. Food is ok. A little bit overpriced

05.12.2016 Ross

Beau Vallon is not known for budget eateries, and while Mahek is pricey it's good value relative to most nearby restaurants. The food is really superb and the service is exactly what you'd hope for: efficient, friendly but not rushed or unctuous

This is a flea market on Beau Vallon Beach. It's opens every Friday as per what the locals told me. The items are cheaper than the same items which we can purchase from our resorts or big shops. This is the source of earning for those who put their stalls. They are kind and the customer service which I received was just Fabulous. It has variety of items like spices which are fresh and also good hand made soaps. We get juices and good barbeque meat too.

06.04.2017 Eusuf

Excellent fish and Creole food. Always fresh.
