A Peace of Paradise is a two-pearl inn located in the quiet community of Mon Repos, on the east side of the island. The building features three quaint rooms, which share a bathroom, a kitchen, and a veranda. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the owner interacting regularly with guests. However, there’s no air-conditioning or TVs in the rooms and little to do and see within walking distance, making it a good fit for guests with rental cars who are interested in exploring a lesser-known side of the island. Travelers may want to compare rates and amenities with Mango Beach Inn in Marigot Bay, which offers easier access to shops, restaurants, and a beach.

Travelers seeking a luxurious, remote island getaway will find it at the Desroches Island resort, a five-pearl property set on a private island reached via a 40-minute flight from Mahé Island. Gorgeous palm groves, tropical vegetation, and white-sand beaches surround the property. Spacious suites and villas feature beach-chic decor and an array of amenities that include bikes and kayaks; villas have private infinity pools. Guests can book varied activities (though many are pricey) including scuba diving and game fishing. Travelers seeking something less remote and easier to access might want to consider some of the other luxury properties in the area, such as the Four Seasons Resort Seychelles.

Set on a 543-acre private island that's part of a national marine park, the upscale Beachcomber Sainte Anne Resort and Spa features 87 spacious villas, some with private pools, that are well-suited to families and honeymooners. Highlights here include three beaches, free water sports equipment, excellent snorkeling, a huge lagoon-style pool, and a Clarins Spa. The secluded island location and optional all-inclusive rates keep guests on property, but the resort is just a 10-minute boat ride to Mahe, the largest island in the Seychelles. While the private island setting delivers an idyllic getaway vibe, the hotel misses the advertised five-star resort mark when it comes to decor, service, and maintenance. Vacationers might consider comparable branded resorts such as the Hilton Seychelles Labriz on Silhouette Island.

The family-run Valmer Resort is a cozy three-pearl property on a steep hill above Mahe’s Baie Lazare coast. The spectacular mountain and ocean views from the rooms' balconies and the stunning lagoon-style pool could be the Valmer's best feature. Its 21 rooms, both villas and studios, are clean and updated, with luxurious bathrooms, but their thin walls can erode privacy. And according to guests, the restaurant and bar are not exactly a foodie’s dream, but villas do have full kitchens. Note: A car (or public bus) is necessary for grocery runs or exploring. For another three-pearl property in Seychelles, the La Digue Island Lodge presents a good alternative.

The 60-unit Banyan Tree Seychelles is a luxury property made up of individual villas lining a Mahe hillside above Intendance Bay. The
Banyan Tree focuses on preserving the
cultural and historic flavor of the property, its Creole architecture, and
plantation-style decor. Villas are walled off from passersby, and each has a private pool, a pavilion, a hot tub, and an outdoor shower. However, the experience doesn't come cheap -- the food in particular is pricey -- and the property is removed from the city, making it a good choice for those looking for quiet, but less than ideal for those who prefer being in the heart of things. Travelers could compare this property with the Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa, another five-pearl resort that tends to have lower rates.
