Villa in Vilankulos
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsVillaFour@Tsai-Tsai
We had an incredible stay at Tsai Tsai in Vilanculos ! Villa 4 was absolutely perfect, spacious, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable. However, once we moved into Villa 1, it was like stepping into a completely unreal experience. Everything about Villa 1 exceeded our expectations in ways we couldn’t have imagined. I would invest every single penny into staying in Villa 1 again, even if it’s pricier, because it’s worth every cent for the unforgettable luxury and views. That said, Villa 4 was still great, but Villa 1 is truly on another level!

Villa in Matutuíne
5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsVista Abril, beachside villa in nature reserve
Greg's house has the most beautiful view we have ever seen. The house is gorgeous, the furnishing stylish and the architecture is perfectly designed to allow you to enjoy the view from any place in the house, even the bathroom. We particularly loved the view from the open air kitchen. The beach below the house is perfect for enjoying the ocean, and at low tide you can walk on the reef and enjoy looking at a myriad of sea creatures that live in the rock formations. A fabulous place for a wonderful weekend.
Villa in Anse A La Mouche
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsRedCoconut - The four-bedroom main estate
The Red Coconut in the Seychelles is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning location—perched amidst lush greenery with breathtaking views of turquoise waters. The accommodations were exceptional, offering the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Every detail, from the stylish decor to the pristine cleanliness, exceeded our expectations. What truly set our experience apart, though, was the incredible team. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable, with thoughtful touches and impeccable service that made us feel truly special. Whether it was arranging activities, recommending hidden spots, or simply checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, their dedication was unparalleled. We left feeling relaxed, pampered, and already planning our return. If you’re looking for a slice of paradise with world-class hospitality, the Red Coconut is an absolute must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!
Villa in Hartbeespoort
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 88 reviewsThe Lakeview Villa
We were looking for a nice place to relax and Deons place at Peacanwood estate was perfect for just that. Everything was exactly as described and we were extremely happy with the service and price. Deons home is very homey and had everything we needed to not leave the house for the whole weekend. Pool was just great and amazing outside socializing area. Every thing worked and was clean. Would recommend
Villa in Cap Malheureux
5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsCORAL VILLA
A wonderful stay. The villa has spectacular views to the north and the layout for indoor/outdoor relaxation is fantastic. A lovely pool that gets north sun so is warm even in Mauritius 'winters'. Daily cleans from Pooga worked well - I was alone so never availed myself of any of her cooking which I gather is also an option. The place is near 'everything' - the best restaurant in the country is 20 mins away and there are tons of options 5-15 mins away. Groceries are as little as 5 mins away, 12 tops. Nice spa is also only 5 minutes away. Sunsets are glorious every night. Looking forward to another visit!

Our stay at Aloha was absolutely exceptional! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The accommodation itself was spotless and spacious, truly a home away from home. The daily cleaning staff were friendly, professional, and respectful of our privacy, making us feel completely at ease. The space was not only clean but also well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped, providing the perfect environment for a relaxing getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely return in the future. Highly recommended!

What to say about our stay with Marie France and Elvis ... apart from going for it!! They were present from the moment of booking, with clear and practical explanations. As soon as the gate opens, we know we'll be there! The house and its garden are very nice . It has everything we may need on a daily basis... to have a great stay. A few hours from returning to France, our son (7 years old) was singing in the pool, this is paradise .... Breakfast is great , and the person who brings them to us is very nice. Restaurants , shops ... close to the house . Thank you, the three of you.

Villa in Albion
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviewsLe p'tit komfort
We spent 3 weeks in paradise at P'tit Komfort. The house is very functional, very airy ( floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere) The bedding is great. It has everything you need to feel at home. self. Private parking space. Two beaches are not far from the house, one walkable to admire the sunsets and the other:3 min by car. What about hosting Radjesh and her family, what can I say? Kindness: fridge filled with fruit, various drinks...). After 11 hours of flight, it's more than appreciable. Good humor, availability, and immediate responsiveness. Possibility to have Mauritian meals prepared by Krishika. In short, perfect stay and big pinch in the heart of having to resume the course of our life in France. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
