Hotel Allamanda – Mahé Island 

Hotel Allamanda is a plantation-style hotel that is set on Anse Forbans, one of the loveliest beaches in southern Mahé. Ten spacious, comfortable rooms have sea views and all amenities. The hotel is perfect for guests seeking the tranquillity of south Mahé and a pleasant family atmosphere instead of a large hotel complex. There is a beachside bar and restaurant. The main restaurant serves an excellent Creole and international menu and overlooks the beach. With its welcoming family atmosphere, the Allamanda is a good base for exploring Mahé. Please note that swimming and snorkelling are according to the tides.

Vallée de Mai is a famous World Heritage Site that should not be missed here. It’s easy to walk through, is rich in tropical forest and is home to the endemic Seychelles Black Parrot and the world’s largest nut, the coco de mer.

Maison Des Palmes

Scattered thatched roofed cottages in palm studded gardens lie on the edge of Grand Anse beach, where the hotel epitomises the small hotels of the Seychelles. Quiet, cosy and certainly laid-back with a creole flavour.

Each of the 24 well-equipped guest rooms are decorated in tropical Seychellois style and have fans, shower, WC, tea & coffee facilities, mini-bar, telephone, hairdryer and veranda.

The hotel has a bar, swimming pool, tennis court and complimentary windsurfing and sailing. There is also free daily transport to Cote D’Or beach as well as the hotel being able to arrange its own tailored excursions to the surrounding islands with picnics and snorkelling trips.

Paradise Flycatcher’s Lodge

Just across the road, opposite Anse Reunion beach and close to L’Union Estate lie the four very spacious chalets of Paradise Flycatcher’s, each with two independent bedrooms but sharing common dining room and kitchen.

Each room has fans, shower, WC, mini fridge and veranda. There is also an excellent restaurant here. The transfer time from Praslin by ferry to La Digue and then road, is approximately 40mins.
