Description
Sunset Beach Hotel is a modest 3-star property located on the northwest coast of Mahe Island, Seychelles. Built in 1986 and last renovated in 2009, it features 26 rooms housed in 1-2 story buildings designed like Spanish villas. The hotel offers a quiet atmosphere suitable for guests aged 7 and above, with a focus on snorkeling opportunities. Its private beach area extends 300 meters along a public beach, with free sun loungers and umbrellas available. Facilities include two restaurants (one a la carte), a bar, an outdoor pool, laundry, and paid Wi-Fi in the lobby. Safety deposit boxes are provided free at reception. The hotel's rating of 7.2/10 reflects mixed reviews, with praise for snorkeling and staff friendliness, but some concerns about dated facilities.
Location
Sunset Beach Hotel is situated in Glacis, about 13 km from Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) and 7 km from the capital city, Victoria. It lies on the first coastline with direct access to its own beach segment on Sunset Beach, just 60 meters from the hotel buildings. The nearby Beau Vallon beach offers additional water sports options, though these are not included in the hotel services and require payment. The hotel’s location provides easy access to local attractions such as table tennis, billiards, and snorkeling directly at the hotel.
