CITY GUIDE · SEYCHELLES
We compare Seychelles hotels first by island and how you get there, because that decides the stay more than the room does.
Mahé is where the international airport is, so the Mahé hotels need no onward flight: Cheval Blanc Seychelles, Four Seasons Resort Seychelles and Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts all sit on the southwest coast around Baie Lazare and Anse Intendance, which suits travelers who want a beach and a road to Victoria and the island's other bays. Raffles Seychelles is on Praslin, a short domestic flight from Mahé followed by a road transfer, and suits travelers who also want to visit the Vallée de Mai and La Digue. Six Senses Zil Pasyon Seychelles is on its own island, Félicité, close to La Digue. North Island, a Luxury Collection Resort, Seychelles, Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island and Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island are on remote islands and suit travelers who prefer to stay put once they arrive; Desroches and Platte are reached by a charter flight from Mahé.
