Jamelah Apartments

Mahé


This reliable option is run by Florie, who has great insight into budget travellers' needs. The two serviceable rooms (each with balcony and sea views) are a cast-iron bargain. If you're travelling with kids, opt for one of the four self-contained apartments in a separate building. They face a small 'beach', adequate for a waist-high dip at high tide.

The nearest stores and takeaway counters are just a 15-minute walk away. Meals can also be prepared by prior arrangement.
