For many coming on holiday to Seychelles, the simple and slow-paced Seychellois lifestyle - in addition to the world famous beaches - is what separates the archipelago from other destinations.

Seychelles Secrets is a diverse range of affordable small hotels, guest houses and self-catering establishments that allow visitors to discover authentic Creole hospitality, cuisine and culture.

Spread out across Seychelles’ three main islands - Mahé, Praslin and La Digue - all of our “secrets” feature less than 25 rooms and in some cases are private, self-contained chalets or holiday homes, each with an authentic, unique style. These establishments give visitors quality accommodation in line with international standards, but without the commercialized feel of mass tourism resorts.

From these quaint hideaways, visitors are encouraged to explore what makes Seychelles one of the world’s few remaining havens from contemporary hustle and bustle.

Go hiking on mountain trails with breathtaking sea views, fishing and sailing on sparkling waters or diving with sea turtles and a host of other underwater species. Creole cuisine is a must, with a tantalizing menu of delicious seafood and local delicacies on offer throughout the islands.

Wherever you see the Seychelles Secrets logo, rest assured that the accommodation offered will reflect quality amenities and services in a charming island-style setting.
