Where to stay in Takamaka

Beautiful hotel, location and facilities... staff and food incredible. Nothing to fault at all

Good evening, We are considering a reservation at the hotel for early august this year. We are aware that the winds around the island can be rather strong for this time of year . Would you kindly confirm that your location is quite sheltered and an idea of sun hours and temperature. Kindly regards L&k

Amazing experience!! I wouldn't ask for more When we arrived the hotel gave us an upgrade to beach villa The villa is very clean and we'll designed, it had a private swimming pool, jacuzzi as well, and access to the beach directly from the villa. Breakfast was included, we tried the moroccan restaurant and the hotel main restaurant. They offer different cuisine everyday in the main hotel restaurant...

Came here for lunch only, beautiful surroundings. The food was fantastic and the service was great

I compliment the owners and management for ensuring everything is perfect for the guests. Long may this positive trend continue.Banyan tree Seychelles whole has a beautiful signature style that takes full advantage of the breathtaking location with one of the most beautiful beaches at the Seychelles.I would especially recommend the beach front villas. The signature SPA is a great advantage of the hotel...

We had a nice lunch at the bar in the late afternoon. The food was very good as were the cocktails. Service was great, attentive and friendly. The views from the bar on to Intendence are amazing and the building itself is gorgeous. Overall a very nice way to spend a couple of hours.

You can eat at nearby Hilton hotel

Returned for a 2-month solo stay and felt completely at home again. The staff and family are exceptional—loving, attentive, and welcoming from the very first day. Delicious homemade local meals, incredible fresh fruit, a peaceful neighborhood, and stunning beaches with perfect water year-round. Beautiful nature, wonderful people… the locals truly make this place special.

We stayed 14 amazing days at Villa Dolphin over Christmas and New Year and can honestly say it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. Villa Dolphin was absolutely perfect — our own private terrace facing a lush garden filled with palm trees and beautiful tropical plants, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere from morning to night. The location is ideal — quiet, private, and surrounded...

Fantastic stay at Captain’s Villa. The location is perfect — quiet, steps from a beautiful calm beach, and ideal for relaxing. The room was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. The hosts were warm, helpful and always available if needed. Everything was smooth and well-organized from start to finish. Absolutely no complaints — I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it.

We spent a week at Captain's Villa and absolutely loved it! Amanda was super nice and helped with excursions. Cleaning was done every day. My friend and I were thrilled and highly recommend it!

Excellent place to enjoy the beach, explore Mahe and recharge with positve energy We spent 9 nights at Captain's Villa in July - August 2025. It is a tastefully decorated place reflecting the authentic style of the isalnd. The wonderful Anse Forbans beach is only a few steps away from the villa. We also enjoyed the surrounding lush greenery with the lovely sound of the birds. Amanda, her family...

Me and my wife stayed in Chez Batistas already six (!) times and want to come back one day again. The reason is the location, the restaurant and friendliness of the staff. What people criticized in previous reviews is true. The internet is far from good and the rooms definitely require some renovation. There are many imperfections there but the place is simply magic. Make sure you stay there on Sunday...

Absolutely amazing Location & very kind perfect service with very good breakfast. Really nothing bad to mention, everything was excellent at our whole stay of 2 weeks at Chez Batista Villas! A great place to be to relax while enjoying local cuisine from lovely locals at a cosy restaurant directly at the beautiful beach! Thank you very much for all! You made our vacation more enjoyable! Take Care &...

The view is nice, but why is there no dinner? Also, it is not convenient to buy water. There is no complimentary water in the room.

The villa is located in a picturesque place, right on the ocean shore. You can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. Our few days of rest were unforgettable. Of the minuses, one can only name the meager continental breakfasts, but the location makes up for everything.

Beautiful beach of Takamaka .. Things to note include it is quite isolated, there is no supermarket close by even to buy water! And bring snacks! Or rent a car for sure it’s the best bet Staff are fine, they live on site however the operational hours are all very strange. Dinner last orders are at 7pm and there are no other restaurants close by. On Sundays the last order is 530pm!! Crazy Overall, south...

My husband and I stayed at Villa Chez Batista for the start of his 60th 3 week birthday trip. This lovely place is nestled away on the most beautiful beach with granite boulders encasing it. Just what you imagine the Seychelles to be like. Breath taking. We stayed in the new building in a clean comfortable room with great air con. It was great. Our check in and greeting was warm and professional. The...

The place to chill out for your next getaway from the rat race. A tropical garden to rival any in the south, boasting unique flora, not to mention the giant tortoises as well as ever so cute baby ones.. peacocks, guinea fowls, geese, duck etc etc too many to mention. The spacious and luxurious accomodations with it's private outdoor bath, stamps tropical elegance that is out of this world. Each villa...

These Villas are gorgeous!! We stayed for a couple days and it’s perfect. It’s right next to the beach but also covered in good shade by some trees and palms. You have a direct view on the ocean from the porch - we even saw a sea turtle coming up the beach one morning. The owners and the entire team are lovely and super helpful. And the location is perfect if you want to get away from the touristic...

Stayed at this peace of little haven for one week and I can attest that this self-catering gem was nearly perfect! Extremely clean, wonderfully equipped with everything we could possibly need, and a fantastic location close to the beautiful police bay and Anse intendance beaches .We had a delightful and comfortable stay.

We spent 9 nights in this wonderland and we know that we will come back again one day. All the staff working there is always here to help and nothing was problem when we stayed there. Whole resort is placed in big garden full of the beautiful fauna and flora. Sea turtles, land turtles, peacocks are all living next to you, next to your house. I can only recommend breakfast which we have ordered. Costs...

A short walk from the villa you have a communal pool which is an ideal size and nice temperature. Then beyond that was a very nice beach which was very private. If you are lucky as we were you could see turtles come onto the beach and lay their eggs, a wonderful and amazing experience. Very big thank you to Polaz ( he was everywhere and was always at hand with any issues or requirements), Madame Lena...

A wonderful place with a familiar environment. It was really nice to be there and we felt really happy. They made us feel the most wonderful days.

Good Breakfast and the owner are very friendly and supportive. It was a pleasure to stay at the appartment. The appartment has an incredible view over the bay and the beach as well the breakfast room which is also with very elegant interior. East as well Westcoast are easy to reach from the ressort.

5 nights (November 2020): we were very satisfied with our stay at Demeure de Cap Macon! The hostess went out of her way to make us have a good time there. communication went smoothly! Unfortunately, both the internet and the air conditioning were broken, but we were quickly moved to another apartment. The breakfast is great, the area very well maintained. In our opinion, a car is essential.

Very quiet place and extraordinary sea view from the terrace

Great place on top of Cap Macon. There are three houses with multiple apartments, the most beatifully are on the second house. Two bedreemo, with double bath. Kitchecn and great patio. All rooms are very clean and daily refreshed. Owners are very welcome, open to suggest best place, hire car, or supermaekret. If you want you can also ask for a great dinner. When booking check the availability of the...

Very nice. We got a wonderful reception by the very kind owners Jean Louis and Mary-Anna. The room is more a junior suite, very clean, with all amenities and comfort and very quiet located. Next morning we had a very good and opulent breakfast freshly prepared by Jean Louis with a stunning view. Very good value and highly recommendable!!

We are from Australia and we stayed there for 4 days while in Seychelles with my wife and two kids. Was an absolutely beautiful place with breathtaking views. The place was very clean and quite modern, the owners were very welcoming and were very lovely people to deal with. Recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing secluded place to stay as a couple or family. Will definitely go back again...

We stayed as a couple in a self-catering deluxe unit, and the experience was excellent even better than the pictures suggest. The gardens are beautifully maintained, and the room is well-equipped, tastefully decorated, and very clean, quiet and peaceful with an amazing view. Yaakov, the host, is pleasant, friendly, and helpful with anything we needed. We had a wonderful vacation and would be happy...

The apartment was amazing. The view fabulous. They really took care of every single detail on the decoration of the rooms. I loved it. The owner, Jacob is super helpful. A car is need it to be there.

An absolutely wonderful place! The rooms were spacious, spotless, and well-maintained. The view is simply breathtaking – the perfect way to start the day. The staff were kind, professional, and always available for anything we needed, with a warm and welcoming attitude that made us feel right at home. We enjoyed every single moment of our stay; the experience exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend...

We spent here 10 days in 5 people family vacation. Rooms were very nice and clean also air conditioned. Room service cleaned every day and staff was very kind. It is really close to very beautiful beach and free yoga lessons here were great. We can definitely recommend :)

Best villas , there is everything you need, great view, cleaning every day. everything is very clean. the beach below is good, A special love is morning yoga. Starting your day with yoga at sunrise is an incredible experience. I will remember these moments all my life, magical.

We spent 14 wonderful days in the Pool Villa as a family of four (two adults and two children, 20 and 15 years old), and it truly felt like a dream. From the moment the sun rose, the pool sparkled beautifully in the morning light, setting the perfect tone for the day. As the hours passed, the villa became so enchanting that we hardly felt the need to leave. Jakob was always there whenever we needed...

We are repeat guests at Surfer’s chalets and this 2-week stay was a bliss again. The owners and the staff are all very helpful and caring. The bungalows are cleaned every day except for Sundays, with towels changed regularly incl. beach towels. You can enjoy lovely sunrise just from your terrace and well-kept garden around. The beach restaurant is another bonus to the stay - great service, delicious...

A huge THANK YOU to Richard and his family. Thank you for your hospitality and helpfulness! Thanks to you, we had the best time of our lives in the Seychelles at The Surfers 100/100! The location is fantastic with the private beach. A little paradise for those who value quality and tranquility. With a rental car, you can easily reach everything you need. The restaurant on the beach is fantastic. The...

This was our 3rd time to the Seychelles and 1st time to the Surfers Chalets. We stayed for 2 weeks and travelled to several "Anses" as we well as to La Digue. The chalets have all you need to enjoy a pleasant holiday, are big enough for a family of 3 and very tidy & clean. The team is very friendly and happy to help. We often enjoyed our meals in the Surfers Beach Restaurant which is right in front...

It was not our first time staying at Surfers Beach Self Catering Chalets and it won't be the last - it is an excellent all-round experience. We would say that it is a far better experience and overall deal than staying in some of Mahe's so-called Luxury hotels - certainly from a spaciousness, cleanliness, comfort and value for money perspective. The chalets offer a spacious bathroom, living room and...

I write only after three months because I'd not add anything to previous reviews : the location, the size of the rooms, the cleanliness, the equipment, the kindness of all the staff are perfect.But today I read a review that left me dumbfounded and that doesn't describe the place where I stayed. I cannot believe it' s the same chalets. I hope it's a mistake, and confirm they are worth the maximum...

Cannot fault the experience at Surfers Beach. Richard and his team treated us so well and the accomodation was spacious and spotless. I will never forget sitting on the veranda sipping cocktails and listening to the waves every night. Everything in the chalet worked as it should and we did not switch on the television once for our whole stay of 13 days. The cleaning staff were particurally nice and...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
