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...

We booked the room with the plunge pool. Very clean and the staff courteous and helpful especially Yubraj. The beach is just across the road and you can have it to yourself most of the time. A good place to stay if you like peace and quiet on your holiday.

We are here now and everything is perfect. We are staying at the two bedroom villa by the beach and we have a lovely view. The rooms are spacious, as are the bathrooms.The beach across the road is gorgeous.Two restaurants nearby with very tasty food.We would definitely return.

Was a lovely experience, we had a comfortable stay, with little work. Dishes done for us, bed made, clean up etc. Just the one aircon didn't work, but other than that, perfect hostess and wonderful stay!

We really.enjoyed our stay at Moulin Kann Villas! It is family owned and the staff is so friendly :) Both, the rooms for 2 people, as well as the room.for 4, are nicely furnished, clean and very spaceous!! The shower is huge! Also the location of the apartements is perfect for exploring the island's most beautiful beaches.

Stayed at Chez Batista Villas purely for its location on Anse Takamaka, which is genuinely one of the best beaches on the island. Unfortunately, almost everything else fell short. We booked a standard room and it was frankly poor—dark, zero soundproofing (you can hear full conversations next door), and no privacy with a shared patio lined up with other rooms. Ours was right by the car park, facing...

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...

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Chez Batista, perfectly set right by the beach. I especially loved my morning walks seeing stingrays gliding through the water every morning was truly special and unforgettable. Our room was clean and comfortable, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always accommodating, which made the experience even better....

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 &...

Very quiet private hotel on west coast of Mahé with excellent view of the the Takamaka Bay and Beach, savory rich breakfast only, turtle rescue, private waterfront pool and lots of beautiful nature around. Though lenghty to reach by airport and non fortified road to the resort itself, its a warm welcoming place to calm down, bei in silence and jad dropping views. We had the Senior Suite and are satisfied...

The property is down south and is quite distant from the airport and Victoria city. The hotel staff are very friendly and they always greet you with a smile. The food is great, and they are courteous enough to give a free basket of garlic bread with garlic sauce which tastes excellent. The rooms (garden view) are basic and are built old style. The lights are dim and due to the proximity with the garden...

Amazing accommodation in a beautiful garden with the atmosphere of the Seychelles and a personal touch from the Italian owner. The owner is incredibly kind, always smiling, and willing to help in any situation. When our flight was canceled due to the situation on the Arabian Peninsula, he helped us enormously with returning home and handling the complicated situation. The receptionist is also very...

You will not find a more peaceful relaxing and lovely place to stay. Wonderful Abdul serves delicious breakfasts and dinner in the evening if you want it. You must stay for dinner at least once for the fun atmosphere. Not pretentious just beautiful, clean, neat. Best sleep I’ve had for a long time.

The hotel was so quiet, so we could recharge and relax our brain. The stuff is very helpful and friendly. The owner is Italian and is happy to chat with you and give recommendations about where to go. Overall is 10/10. Definitely recommended and coming back.

The place is clean and good they serve nice food, but the location is kind of remote

We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful surroundings of southern Mahé, where in my opinion the most stunning beaches of the island are located. The property is run by Massimiliano, an Italian host who is extremely kind and attentive, as is the rest of the staff. A special mention goes to the chef, Abdul, who prepared excellent breakfasts and dinners – truly a highlight of the stay. The beach is only...

Takamaka Green Village is a beautiful resort located a short walk from the lovely Takamaka Beach. The food was exceptional, both the breakfast and the dinner prepared each evening by Abdul, the chef. Thank you again for that. ...

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.

You wake up in the morning by the sound of the breaking waves and all kind of beautiful birds. You get up and get rewarded by a beautiful view of the beach and the tropical mountains. Healthy breakfast with tasty fruits and you're ready for the day. The steep hill to arrive to the hotel looks extreme on the first sight, but after driving the second time through it it feels just like any other road...

Our whole stay was incredible. I deeply regret that we haven't spoken to Marianna much until our very last day, she was so informative and polite and helpful! Their hotel is a real gem on this island. I wished we could have stayed longer there, we will definitely come back!

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...

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.

We attended the Aerial Yoga session at 7am with Celange . She welcomed us with lovely energy from the beginning. We left the session feeling energised and upbeat. Would defo recommend . We did not stay at the property just attended the class but it was nice to do the session here whilst we were staying at kempinski which is about a 15min drive from there. It was worth waking up early ! Thank you...

My sister and I had an absolutely wonderful experience attending a yoga class during our trip to Mahé. We weren’t staying at the resort but were welcomed with open arms the moment we arrived…. even though we got there a little early! As it turned out, no one else had booked that session, so we were lucky enough to have a private class. The yoga instructor was incredibly professional, with a calming...

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...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Paradise Chalets Yoga and Wellness in the Seychelles and I must say, it was truly a remarkable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with exceptional service from the friendly and attentive staff. The gardens surrounding the chalets were absolutely stunning, with an array of beautiful tropical plants and flowers that created a serene and peaceful...

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...

Really wonderful experience. Richard and his staff looked after every detail. Restaurant is across the street and on the beach. Food was terrific (especially the fish and chips). Only minor issue was the mattress has probably seen better days, but not a big enough problem to avoid staying here.

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...

Our stay at Surfers Self-Catering Chalets, was nothing short of exceptional. We spent a delightful four nights at this fantastic establishment, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped foot in the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire experience. One of the standout features of this hotel is its comprehensive range of amenities...

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.

Went here for our honeymoon. It was an amazing experience! The place itself couldn’t be more idyllic. While some may say that it’s “far away”, it truly located in the most beautiful part of the island next to the best beaches. Both the owner and all the staff are really the sweetest and most accommodating. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

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...

High quality accomodation on Mahe Island, nice yard and sea view.

Our stay at Maggie’s place was the absolute highlight of our trip. When I think back to our time in the Seychelles, it’s our time at Maggie’s little paradise that stands out the most. It’s truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed in. The apartment is a dream — you can see and hear the ocean from virtually every corner, everything is spotlessly clean, and Maggie’s attention to detail...

We would recommend or return in a heartbeat. Very high quality accommodation with to die for views. Maggi is protective about her piece of paradise however take the time to get to know the lady, very sincere, proud but also with a big heart.

Beautiful apartments! We were here last October. Swiss perfection meets tropical flair. Well located near the most beautiful beaches of Mahe. Super clean and beautifully furnished! Great tropical garden with pool and sea view.

Chalet Bougainville is a very nice place to stay. Both owner were great and supportive. Our small family enjoyed the stay because we had out own house with plenty of space for the little one. We spent long evenings on the huge terrace listing to the ocean and playing games. The pool was also a nice place to cool down.

Beach cottages on the south eastern part of the Mahe island. We spent there 8 nights in October as a couple. The cottages are well maintained, the kitchen is well equipped with dishes and electrical devices including a stove, an oven, and a kettle. So it is quite conviennent to cook dinner inside and eat either in the small dining area or on the balcony. The cottages are built as two adjacent apartments...

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...

Great experience with amazing hosts (Brigitte - super friendly and helpful). Nice territory around the houses and right in front of the beach. Overall very peaceful place, quiet, private and with very few people around, perfect for a relaxing stay.

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...
