Casadani

Mahé


Soothingly positioned on a velvety emerald hillside just above the coastal road, this popular venture is a good deal if you can score a room with a sea view. The 25 rooms are well appointed yet utilitarian, but you'll be too busy soaking up the fabulous views from the vast shared terrace to mind. Car and boat hire are possible.

The restaurant (half board is available) specialises in seafood that comes fresh straight from the sea – it helps that the owner is a fisherman.
