Raffles Seychelles

Resort

Anse Takamaka
Great Location and position, very kind staff.
domenico, May 2025
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.
Aurielle Marie, Jun 2025
Staff is outstanding, Villa is wonderful. Beach is very good. 3 downsides: 1- Breakfast area has broken AC ("for a long time" per one staff member) which makes it VERY hot inside especially when it is already VERY hot outside. Not very sanitary for the food either. 2- The breakfast quality is well below what one would expect at a hotel of that standing. Went to a hotel in Dubai right after this and the difference was noticeable. 3- The hotel is on a hill and it is inconvenient to have to call for a buggie every time you want to go somewhere in the resort. Also, it is facing East so don't see the sunset.
Verified traveler, Mar 2025
The resort is beautiful, upscale and clean.
