Villa Kayola - Self Catering

Views!! And the owners were really nice people.

Little steeper accesss but for shorter stay it is okay.

Great place, jimmy was a great host, they organised ferry pick up and airport drop off for us , so we didn’t need to worry about anything. Lots of cats and dogs around, all very friendly. Very comfy bed and amazing view over the ocean and the mountains!

Staying Villa Kayola was magical. If you’re looking to experience the real local life in Seychelles, this place is an absolute gem. The garden is simply breathtaking, lush, vibrant, and lovingly cared for, with all kinds of tropical fruits. It felt like living in a dream. What truly made our stay unforgettable were the hosts. They are some of the kindest, most thoughtful people we’ve ever met. From the warm welcome to the little surprises they left for us throughout the stay, everything was done with genuine care and attention to detail. You can feel how much heart they put into creating this space. Our room was spotless, beautifully arranged, peaceful and already dreaming of our return.

Great location, view and host! Definitely highly recommend!

We spent 9 beautiful days in Villa Kayola. The location is fantastic, very close to the airport (approximately 10 minutes). The appartment is spacious and well equipped. From the balcony the view is gorgeous. You can admire the jungel and the ocean as well, since the appartment is on the top of a mountain. Therefore it is useful to hire a car or being very fit to climb the mountain. Anse Aux Pins bus station is at the foot of the mountain. We were spoiled by Jimmy and Maya, the nicest hosts ever. They fulfilled all our requests. Jimmy is an excellent cook, he invited us for dinner, he served snapper fish with mango salad made from mango freshly picked in his garden. It was amazing. We can not be but thankful for our stay in Villa Kayola.

The view was amazing as well as the garden and the whole accommodation! There is also a central bus station located nearby! The host (Jimmy) is amazing and gave us the best experience of the Seychelles culture ever! If you really want to get to know Mahe, you have to stay at Villa Kayola!

Without a car, it’s kind of hard to get to the accommodation, since it’s very steep! But it is definitely doable and jimmy can organise cheap transfers!

Very nice stuff

Amazing hospitality and personal touch. Felt like home. The place is pretty close to the airport and offers beautiful sea view, mountains and greenery. Will get to have home grown Bananas, Papaya and Soursop.

The views from the guesthouse are wonderful! Also, the owners thought about the details very carefully in the room. There is everything you need to cook a meal, take a hot shower with clean towels and plenty of hooks, and a very comfortable clean bed.
