Seychelles Yoga Holidays

Had an excellent stay at Raffles Seychelles. We got in early so they were able to allow us to stay in an open villa while we waited for ours to get ready and we were lucky to get ocean view of only for a short while. We were also able to stay a little longer in our villa upon departure as well. Everything was amazing but especially loved seeing the Tortoises, the breathtaking views, and the wonderful staff from check in to transportation to the restaurants. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning resort and the villas are amazing! Unfortunately we were originally located next to a private residence which had ongoing building work which was quite disruptive, but the management team were great and they managed to move us to another villa away from the noise. They also compensated us generously for the inconvenience and delay in moving us, which we very much appreciated. All the staff were really friendly and welcoming.

It was quiet and private, it is really clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming.

This was without doubt one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. We only stayed 2 nights (Alfreda was right - not long enough!), but I felt like a new woman when I left. So relaxed, rejuvenated and restored. Every member of staff we encountered was helpful, kind and seemed happy - they clearly genuinely enjoy their jobs and the hotel environment. Shout out to Ajay at the Santosha restaurant, who served us beautifully at each meal. The range of foods at breakfast and supper (we were half board) was wonderful; something for everyone and always some Creole options for those wanting an authentic Seychellois experience, which we loved. The spa was incredible. It’s a totally private experience. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary so we opted for their “memorable together” experience, which included a body scrub and massage (we both fell asleep!) looking out over the trees to the ocean, followed by a private sauna and jacuzzi session with Canapés and champagne. It was perfect and Jaima and her colleague looked after us wonderfully, even adapting the treatment for my husband as he had painful sunburn. Little touches, like the gorgeous scent of lemongrass in the rooms at night (which also helps keep mozzies away) and in-room fridge, all added to the experience. Too many highlights to mention them all; we simply cannot wait to return!! Next time we’ll bring our children. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at this quite grand colonial style villa. Our room (the master bedroom) was large and airy, nicely furnished with a huge bathroom. The bed was comfy and the walk in wardrobe made keeping things tidy a breeze. We were well looked after by the hosts and their on site assistant, Alam. He was always around to get drinks or beach towels, umbrella's etc and keep the villa clean and tidy. The villa is up a steep access road (which is not uncommon on the island due to the local topography)and about a mile out of Beau Vallon which means a car is pretty much essential to get to the fabulous beaches and local eateries. However, the access road & parking could be considered to be somewhat challenging unless you are a confident driver. We enjoyed the breakfasts which consisted of a platter of varied fresh fruit, eggs of your choice and pancakes obviously prepared with care. Alternative options were offered as well. The hosts also offered a 3 course evening meal option Unfortunately this was not available every for night of our stay. The food was excellent and, although we initially thought it seemed expensive, it turned out to be be good value in comparison with the better local restaurants. We found the Villa a peaceful, comfortable and relaxing place to stay. It's not perfect by any means, but you'd have to be pretty picky to find much to complain about and it was a more personal & comfortable experience than the standard hotel offerings.

I have just loved my stay here. The staff are superb, Yulia at the desk for Lady in Red, Adel at Windsong restaurant, thank you for your attention and service, I felt looked after when they were on duty. The views are stunning in this place, the property is huge, which gives the chance to walk around without getting bored. I have traveled alone for leisure, I can say I have felt safe, with small little hiccups here and there. Below a constructive feedback, which will also help to improve: The room requires some attention, especially the shower. The curtains by the bed needs to be changed/cleaned, the sofa needs some cleaning too. The pillows are too soft for my preference, I have asked to exchange however I received the same kind, I have been told by the housekeeper that are all the same. For a 5 * you expect almost perfection, if not perfection in all the areas. On my last day, they came for my bags at 5am, perhaps was a miscommunication, i was just departing at 1pm, the man apologised for mistake. A little suggestion on this, perhaps a day before guests departing, will be good a courtesy call or when you see them around, to find out their departure time, or if they need a transfer arranged, this will give an even more personal touch. This place is just tranquil, they have activities daily, unfortunately I have been able to do only the walk to the mount Kempinski, as I had others planned outside, the guide was knowledgeable. Overall I have enjoyed my stay here. ❤️
