The Station

Top choice in Morne Seychellois National Park


With gorgeous views and a healthy ethic when it comes to cooking, The Station is a lovely place to stop high atop the island. Dishes range from salads, soups and bruschetta to meze and savoury pancakes; yummy desserts, too. The adults-only 'Letting Go Saturdays' is fast becoming an island institution.
