Chalets d'Anse Forbans SelfCatering in Takamaka

I spent a week here and it was a wonderful experience. The beach and surrounding area within the compound was heavenly. The Chalet itself was extremely comfortable and the Aircon at night was great and I was able to sleep well. During the day I had the windows and door open and I enjoyed the nice breeze and views of the Ocean. Remember to bring your snorkeling gear and reef friendly sun screen as the beach front area is incredible. I was looking for a nice relaxing beach experience in Seychelles that was quiet and not resort like. The Chalets D'Anse Forbans were spot on and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great stay. This place is incredible and a real gem on Make.

The chalets are spacious, well-equipped and clean with a veranda for enjoying the very peaceful surroundings. The stunning beach is a few steps across the grass; it was empty during our visit and felt like a private beach. The beautiful warm sea was a little wavy in September, which is unusual for this time of the year. A car is fairly essential, there is little within walking distance, and it would be a shame to miss the other beautiful beaches. Apparently, there is a good local bus service. The owners are delightful, extremely helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

The chalets are great! They are clean and very comfortable. The location is very beautiful and quiet. The anse forbans is the second most beautiful beach we have seen on the Seychelles.
A shop, where you can buy everything you need, is like 10 minutes away by foot. We also felt safe there. Not everybody can enter the area/gate just like that.
The owners of the chalets and the whole staff are very very polite!!
I recommend everyone staying at Chalets d’Anse Forbans (if you are fine with self catering)!

From owners welcoming smile, Brigitte, made sure all was good. I really like when the property owner is available and involved, it makes things just go so much better. The bungalows are as advertised, steps from the very quiet beach with perfect swimming/floating enjoying the warm water. The bungalows are clean well taken care of with all the basic self catering needs. A quiet place to do your own thing. we loved our stay. Notes: You will need a car. The resort is a distance from most things. The Hilton is a 150 meter walk down the beach for pretty expensive meals if you want. Fruit stands and basic food need are 5-10 minutes by car. The good snorkeling is just past the little reef if your a confident swimmer. You can't take the lounge chairs down to the beach due to turtle activity and high tides will take them away. When we come back, we will stay here again.

Our first visit to the Island was 15 years ago and during a trip out exploring we found paradise in the name of Chalet Anse Forbans and promised ourselves if we were lucky to return this is where we would stay .............. and we have been on a number of occasions and every time we are welcomed back like long lost friends. What we love the most about our stay every time is how relaxed we become the minute we drive through the gates. There is no need to stress about what to wear for dinner, breakfast on the veranda listening to the waves, lunch on a nice shady picnic table, walks along the deserted beach, snorkeling or just lazing on the sun loungers is our idea of bliss. On this trip which was after a 5 year break mostly due to the pandemic we were nervous that our memories of past stays would not match up but we were not disappointed it was every inch as we remembered and we hope more than anything that Bridgette, Daphne, JP and Lisa are able to continue providing 5 star hospitality. Thank you all for all that you do in making our stay beyond perfect, for always allocating our favourite end of the complex and allowing us to move our picnic table to the shade 😎 Cannot wait to return in 2024 in the meantime just know this you are doing a GREAT JOB 🙌
