    This is heaven on earth, peacefull quiet place, amazingly friendly, the welcome by the host was outstanding, huts have everything we needed, they are basic, but spotlessly clean, the stay comes with lots of add-ons such as caring host, smiles from the gardeners, who take care of the lovely tropical garden, the fruit bats flying above and even nesting turtles. Lovely beach, some snorkeling too. I will dream about this place.

    If you are going to cook something at the chalet, it’s perfect to have some kinda of “starter package” - salt, pepper and oil

    It was perfect for first place at Mahe Island 😀 That’s a totally deserved all the rewards and reviews here. The chalet is fully equipped with everything for living as it shows at the site, creol style and the main benefit is to have a terrace with the ocean wind . There is so great filling that at the moment only you and the ocean means (thats worth everything) and nobody nearby. Ocean is located within the two steps and direct way to the beach with full privacy. Location is perfect, supermarkets is 5-10 minutes by car, a lot of small market nearby. And it was great to have a delivery from Perry Grill restaurant suggested by the host, it war very tasty ! The owner’s family is totally hospitable, Brigitte is very kind and helpful with everything around. Definitely come back next time 👌🏻

    Unfortunately it was windy and rainy and the corrente were a bit strong this swimming was ok only but this was not the property’s fault! Maybe having access to drinking water and a ‘larger’ kitchen startup ( mire coffee and tea salt sugar bit of oil etc) similarly to what we had elsewhere, wound have been great. We didn’t cook much -we only had breakfast- thus for us it was great but maybe the kitchen is not very well equipped if you plan to do more cooking. Definitely need a car for easy access to other beaches and shops.

    Location! secluded, semidetached pretty and cozy cottage, private enough as other cottages are far enough - and nobody was staying in our building- it’s by the beach, yet, close to town, shops and few restaurants. Went swimming every morning! Amazing! We’ll organise space, large bathroom and bedroom, large and very comfortable bed! The hosts. Thanks for looking after us! Easy and prompt communication.

    Not much

    Our stay at the Chalets s’Anse Forbans was truly delightful. The Chalet was lovely, clean, and cozy, providing a perfect retreat. Bridgit was incredibly warm and welcoming, offering us excellent tips for exploring the island. Mangala was also wonderful and reliable; despite our inconvenient arrival and departure times, he was always there with a big smile, ready to assist. The beach at the Chalet, with its untouched natural beauty, remained one of our favorite spots in Seychelles even after exploring other beaches. The combination of the charming accommodations, the helpful and friendly staff, and the stunning beachfront made our stay unforgettable.

    The beach is not like in the pictures - it has lots of seaweed, also some rocks at the bottom, under the water. Not so nice to swim in. There should be some pedastrian roads to the houses, but there is only grass - which is nice for walking, but not for dragging 23 kg suitcase...

    Beautiful place, nice garden, very peaceful and quiet. Beach towels are a nice touch. Convenient bedroom - there is an air conditioner and also a fan, huge bed. Safe and spacious parking.

    First of all, I must start with Brigitte. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, offering invaluable recommendations and insights into the area that significantly enhanced our stay. Her kindness and willingness to accommodate our needs, including extending our stay, were truly remarkable. We couldn't have asked for a better host. The staff is exceptional as well. Then, the accommodation itself is charming. In a perfect location, you are just a few meters away from a beautiful beach. Additionally, you are a 10-15 minute drive from astonishing beaches on the west of the island. If you are seeking a peaceful place with essentially your own 'private' beach, you are in the right place. We can't wait to come back again.

    There wasn't anything we didn't like.

    When we arrived (after a long flight) we were greeted with a warm welcome from Brigitte which made us feel at home straight away. Throughout our wonderful stay we always felt looked after and we had space and tranquility to enjoy the beautiful setting. Our chalet was situated in front of the warm calm sea. The former coconut plantation held a peaceful,enchanting ambiance and the glorious bird song in the morning and evening was very uplifting. The self catering facilities were efficient for us to produce tasty meals. We rented a car because we enjoyed exploring the island. However I noticed some guests simply enjoyed the get away from it all feel of the place and didn't go far. We were lucky enough to have the palm tree lined beach to ourselves most of the time as we were there just before the peak season. Thank you to Brigitte, her husband and family for such a special holiday.

    This is the place for tranquillity on Mahe. Quiet holiday villas step away from beach. All basics are well covered. Best if come with car though public transport access is also possible. Some of the best island beaches and locations are in 10 minutes driving range. Also I'd like to note fantastic communication and efficiency of this long-standing family business. This is place to get away and be off line and down with paper book for days.

    The place is probably best accessible by car, you would be best off renting a car.

    Everything! We loved it so much, the beach on the doorstep was the best part. It was extremely peaceful and reaxing. The sunbeds by each bungalow were so relaxing. The property was extremely well maintained all the way from the gardens to the bungalows themselves. It was our favourite place we stayed on our honeymoon!

Its in a quiet part of the island, right on the beach, fresh coconuts in the garden as a bonus ;-) Ideal for a few days of peace and relaxation. Also suitable for families with children because of big and safe garden. Nearest take away and grocery store about 5 minutes by car.

    The chalet is just perfect. Super clean, organized and has everything you need. The beach is beautiful and only a few steps a away from The chalet. The area is incredible, many birds singing, a lot of trees. Brigite and staff did absolutely everuthing to make me feel confortable. Helped me rent a car, made reservation at restaurants, put me in contact with excursion group, gave me all the tips about seychelles. So kind! There are a few restaurantes close to the chalet and a market. Also, there is a great place that delivers food at the chalet, which is very nice after a long day. I will definitely come back!

    Very nice location just by a nice and calm beach, really good for kids and snorkelling, we managed to spot many types of fish, the place is well secured and the area around it has supermarket and couple of restaurants that were a good option, Brigitte is a very welcoming host, she even offered our son a home made birthday cake which was a great gesture, she is very responsive and guided us to all the nice places to go to around the area, it is a nice place to be if you want to relax. Just to note, it will be much more efficient to have a rental car to move around, Brigitte also helped us with that, make sure to have your shampoo/bodywash however there is towels available in the chalet, general note around the island especially if you have kids, it is advisable to get insect repellent in addition to the sunscreen.

    Brigette and her brother and sister were super helpful for our entire stay. We arrived early due to our flight and they were very accommodating. They helped with everything from a car to pointing us in the direction of the good beaches and restaurants to explore in the south of Mahe Island. We loved spending time in the south of the island as it was less touristy than the north and the beaches were beautiful and more untouched.
