Best Luxury Hotels in Mahe

On the Anse Louis peninsula of Mahé island, surrounded by 30 acres of forest, are just 30 private pool villas with ocean and garden views. Perfect for an intimate break with unbeatable personal service, as all come with a dedicated Villa Host and champagne on arrival. Choose a villa with an ocean view on a hillside perch; one with direct access to the beach and a private garden; or even one on the edge of the peninsula with unbeatable ocean views.  Unwind with a spa treatment in an open-sided pavilion nestled in the jungle, or sample from the award-winning wine list. There are various dining options – in the restaurant, in villa or choose the setting for your ultimate private dining experience – but however you choose to dine, there is no menu – the chefs will suggest dishes based on your personal taste.

This Tribute Portfolio Resort (found on the largest of the islands) encourages its guests to connect with indigenous culture, via a programme of optional curated activities that interact and engage with the community. An in-house spa follows this theme with local, organic and handcrafted products used in healing rituals. And the fine dining restaurant — a concept created by a Michelin-starred chef — takes guests on a culinary island journey. Laila is also a place for family time, with a great pool and poolside bar/restaurant and facilities catering for kids, as well as a watersports centre on the adjacent beach.
