The most private hotels in Seychelles

We couldn’t list the most private hotels in Seychelles without mentioning North Island, Seychelles – it’s one of the most secluded resorts in the entire world. Occupying its own entire island, guests here can break free from reality and soak up its tropical hideaway vibes knowing nothing and no one can bother you.  

With a selection of just 11 premium villas, you’ll even feel out the way of your fellow guests. If you’re the “do-nothing” type of holiday-goer, you can relax in the comfort of your villa. You have direct beach access when you fancy a stroll on the sands and your own pool to take an afternoon dip in when you need to cool off.

There’s simply no doubt it’ll be the most peaceful week or two of your life.  

Next on our list is Constance Lémuria – one of the best Seychelles hotels with private beach access. For the ultimate private stay, we recommend booking the 13,454ft2 President Villa. It boasts its own stretch of beach that’s yours and only yours for the duration of your stay.  

Impressive in both size and style, this villa sleeps up to nine guests and perfectly combines luxury with homeliness. By day you’ll swim in multi-level swimming pools and by night you’ll get wrapped up in the sheets of your plush king-sized bed.

In fact, the whole place is decked out with pretty much everything you need for a happy day in paradise, so much so you’ll never have to leave the four walls if you so wish. 

If you’re looking for an ultra-relaxing retreat to disconnect from the troubles and woes of modern life, look no further than Denis Private Island – an idyllic beach resort which actively encourages you to switch off your phone and feel present in the paradise surroundings. It’s a slow pace of life to help you decompress. 

You’ll get the keys to one of 25 sea-view cottages, all of which have a selection of beautiful outdoor spaces to unwind in, like your own private courtyard to dine alfresco and a plunge pool that comes in handy on the hottest days.

The Beachfront Spa Cottages also boast a massage pavilion, so give the concierge desk a call and they’ll send a professional masseuse your way. With their magical hands and the tranquillity of the cottage’s surrounding lush vegetation, it’ll probably be the most relaxing massage you’ve ever had. 

Next on our list of private hotels in Seychelles is Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa. With its secluded spot on Silhouette Island, this resort immerses you in paradise vibes and charms with its powder-soft beaches and palm-tree-covered mountains.  

A stay here is all about reconnecting with Mother Nature. Go snorkelling or diving around the coral reefs of the marine national park or hike through the rainforest trails spotting exotic birds and other exciting wildlife.

The best part is all this can be enjoyed with hardly anyone else around. You won’t find any crowded beaches or long queues here!

Private beach hotels in Seychelles don’t come much more exciting than Six Senses Zil Pasyon. On top of the resort’s chic interior styling and spectacular island views, you’ll also be impressed with the wide-ranging selection of deluxe R&R options – many of which can be enjoyed as private experiences. 

Whatever you fancy doing, speak to the resort staff known as ‘Guest Experience Makers’ and they’ll get something fun scheduled into your itinerary. Activities include things like a private diving lesson exploring the seas with an expert instructor or a private screening of a movie of your choice at the beach outdoor cinema.  

You can also book intimate private dining for special occasions or date nights. Resort chefs will cook a custom three-course meal and deliver it straight to your villa just in time for sundown. Or they’ll set up a romantic candle-lit table on a secluded stretch of beach. The choice is yours. 

Last on our list of the best private hotels Seychelles plays host to is Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas. With 30 luxurious villas to choose from, here you will have your own private sanctuary to find some inner peace.

Spend your days lapping up spectacular views from the villa’s glorious outside spaces, like your private infinity pool or your sea-facing balcony.  

Hospitality is everything at Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas. Staff go above and beyond all expectations to make sure guests are having the time of their lives.

You’ll even have a dedicated villa host overseeing your stay and tending to your every need, even if it’s a small request like bringing some extra pillows or restocking the minibar.  

You’ll rarely find overcrowded beaches on any Seychelles island, but if it’s the quietest months you’re after, we recommend visiting during the off-season earlier months – the end of January to March.

Not only does this time of year tend to be the most peaceful, but you’ll also save some money with cheaper airfares and better hotel deals. 

Whilst phone signal is perfectly fine on the main islands (Mahe, la Digue, and Praslin), you might struggle to get full reception on the smaller outer islands. However, rest assured most resorts and hotels have WiFi you can connect to during your stay.
