Eden's Holiday Villas

Forty-eight kilometres of Mahé coastline wrap around the island beyond Port Glaud, the quiet western village where Eden's Holiday Villas occupy a hillside removed from the capital's traffic. Granite boulders typical of the inner Seychelles break the garden slope toward views of the St. Anne Marine Park archipelago.

The three-star property suits self-catering stays; villa kitchens allow guests to cook market fish bought at the nearby Sir Selwyn Clarke stalls in Victoria, a 20-minute drive east. Port Glaud itself has a local bakery and the trailhead for the Morne Seychellois National Park path.

Beihe Beach and Anse Boileau lie within ten minutes by car, both far less visited than the northern resort strip around Beau Vallon.
