Maison Soleil  

On Mahé Island’s quieter southern end, this rural guesthouse sits within a 15-minute walk of Anse Soleil and Petite Anse. Baie Lazare and Takamaka beaches are also close by, and Seychelles Intl. Airport is about 18 km away—ideal for beach lovers and family-friendly stays.

Four stylish, individually decorated apartments set in a tropical garden. Three Cinnamon Suites are on the ground floor and a larger Vanilla Suite upstairs fits 2 adults and 2 children. Each unit has a private veranda, air conditioning, a full kitchen with fridge and stovetop, a 24-inch TV, safes and daily housekeeping. The property is owned by local artist-designer Andrew Gee, with his gallery next door—expect a creative, low-key vibe.

Take in garden and terrace views and wake up to sea-breeze mornings. Standouts include private verandas, in-room kitchens, a snack bar/deli and an on-site bar, a BBQ area and a kids’ playroom. Tour desk on-site helps you book excursions and there’s a relaxed, self-catering feel throughout.
