If being located on a sensational beach is more important to you than staying in a luxurious hotel room, then head to this simple little 20-room guesthouse/hotel perched above a breathtakingly beautiful beach on the gorgeous south-east coast of Mahe!

This has to be the perfect honeymoon hideaway – the Black Parrot Suites are 12 exclusive and luxurious rooms perched spectacularly on a rocky headland overlooking a bay peppered with picturesque sandy coves.

Gorgeous new boutique hotel of 40 chalets (12 of them boasting their own private plunge pools!) sprawled on a hillside overlooking a picturesque bay complete with white sand beach on the northern shore of Mahé.

Perched on a forest covered hillside above the beautiful bay of Anse Bois de Rose in the tranquil and undeveloped south-east corner of Praslin, the Coco de Mer offers perhaps the best value for money of all the Praslin resorts.

A stunning location - including a choice of 2 excellent beaches - a host of different activities, wide variety of restaurants and luxurious accommodation options make the Constance Ephelia perhaps the best choice for families holidaying in the Seychelles!

Our pick as Barefoot Breaks' favourite resort in the Seychelles, Constance Lemuria occupies THE best location of any resort here, including two of the Seychelles’ most stunning beaches, as well as a superb 18-hole championship golf course - the delicious dining and superb service are the cherries on top!

Head for Denis Island if you want wonderfully unspoiled natural surroundings, loads of outdoor activities and the peace and solitude that come with staying in a small, intimate lodge far away from the relative hordes of holidaymakers on the main islands.

The 111 lovely villas of the Hilton Labriz lie stretched along a mile-long white-sand beach on the largely unspoiled Silhouette Island, with its imposing backdrop of densely forested mountain peaks - an excellent family-friendly option, perfect whether you want to explore or just chill!

Gorgeous 56 villa resort (16 of them with stunning private plunge pools!) tucked away amidst a densely forested mountainside above a couple of lovely little coves on Mahe's beautiful north-west coast. All Inclusive option also available!

A long established favourite and indisputably one of the top hotels on Praslin, the L’Archipel with its 32 rooms poised above a gorgeous secluded beach also has perhaps the most authentic local character.

Of the 3 main islands in the Seychelles, La Digue is definitely our favourite! With great beaches and a blissfully laidback atmosphere the only thing missing was somewhere really upmarket to stay – thank goodness then that the superbly stylish Le Domaine de l'Orangeraie opened its doors!

Location, location, location!!! This hugely popular 80-room Creole flavoured resort lies tucked away in the quietest corner of the stunning Cote d'Or beach with a towering rain forest clad mountainside behind and the blindingly blue waters of the bay in front - great for couples and families alike!
