JA Enchanted Island Resort

Mahé


The epitome of a luxurious island retreat, this Round Island resort, within Ste Anne Marine National Park, has stunning, spacious villas turned out in a classical style. The balcony bathtub in one is our pick for the best bathtub-with-a-view anywhere in the Seychelles. Private pools, a first-rate restaurant and a sense of utter exclusivity round out a rather impressive package.
