Victoria hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Victoria hotel

• Hoping to explore Mahe Island’s impressive natural scenery and wildlife? Book a hotel next to the Seychelles National Botanical Gardens, such as the affordable Hilltop Boutique Hotel that is a 2-minute drive away. These botanical gardens stretch over 5 acres and contain a variety of exotic plants as well as giant tortoises.
• Mahe Island is known for having a high concentration of luxury resorts, which are a great option if you are looking to relax and be pampered during your vacation. The Kempinski Seychelles Resort is a 5-star hotel that is located on the southwest coast of the island, while the Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa is a popular choice located on the west coast.
• If you enjoy hiking, select a hotel that is next to the beginning of the Copolia Trail, such as the luxury Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa. The Copolia Trail goes for several kilometres across the island and eventually ends on the west coast, allowing hikers to see a variety of plants, animals and scenic views along the way.
• For visitors who would like to see one of the most scenic vantage points on Mahe Island, pick a hotel that puts you within easy hiking distance of Ridge Residence, like the Palms Day hotel. Ridge Residence is a popular lookout point in the middle of the Seychelles National Park that provides guests with impressive views of the entire west coast of the island.
• If you are an avid tea drinker, consider booking a hotel next to the island’s local Tea Factory, such as the charming Villa Vanilla. At the Tea Factory, visitors can see first-hand how tea leaves are produced, as well as purchase unique tea flavours as souvenirs or gifts.
