JA Enchanted Island Resort Seychelles

Amazing room, so comfortable, interesting colonial Indian decoration. Beautiful private infinity pool with a great view of the sea and private access to a small beach for snorkeling straight from the room. Great staff, very kind and attentive.

Thank you so much for this outstanding, amazing and lovely week at your hotel. It was our first stay at ja entchanted round island and we will come back. The whole team from room cleaning, kitchen team, spa team - ALL - are amazing! An absolute delicious food during the week. The Spa treatments was amazing! Fall in Love with seychelles! Tahnk you for everything!

Would I recommend to a friend? No. Would I go here again knowing what I know? No. While the resort is the only one on the island, the beaches are open to the public. Every day, hundreds of people would arrive from different resorts on our island. People would come up the stairs to our villa to change clothes. In fact, while we were gone, someone used our toilet but did not flush it - nasty! By the way, the restrooms are located outside. We protested to the resort administration several times. All they stated was that the beaches were open to the public and that there was nothing they could do. They didn't even try to make amends by moving us to another room, giving us a free drink, or anything else... I suppose the reason is that everyone who stays in villas on the east side of the island often complains about how crowded the beach is and how loud, and mostly unsuitable, the music is. If you found my review helpful, please let me know by giving me a thumbs up.

From the moment I booked this stay I felt like family. Tania arranged my transfer from the port to the hotel, when I arrived it was such a relaxing experience. The room was amazing, with a large deck overlooking the pool and the Marina. My only small issue was that the food is so expensive, but this was a minor inconvenience compared to the whole stay. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend JA Enchanted Island Resort to anyone visiting Victoria.

It was a very beautiful small isle in the middle of a marine park. The marine life seem to have suffered a bit from el nino, but it was still lots of life in the waters, but the corrals did not thrive. The isle did not have excessive wildlife due the small size and rather high density of infrastructure, however the nature still was close. As for the facilities we found that the restaurant and reception area to be enchanting with a very nice view of the sea and nearby isles. The furnishings were tasteful and elegant fitting for the Seychelles and creole culture. The boat transfer to the isle was good and the "limitations in free fares" did not feel limiting due to the generous and flexible fares available. The villa we stayed in was over all very good. There was some details that could have a better finish such as the pool lister, pool exterior, drying possibilities, etc . We did not appreciate the out door toilet though, due to the ground frequently got wet (no matter how much we tried to dry it), and the high humidity dampened the toilet paper. Luckily we did not have any issues with mosquitos, however if the season was not as it was they may make the outdoor shower and toilet more sufferable. Also the small garden near the toilet was muddy and not to pleasant to walk upon when arriving from the beach wanting to clean out feet. The garden could over all be better maintained (but not excessively due to it would be a shame removing the natural feeling). Indoor there was not much negative to comment on, but for future purposes maybe you should install usb outlets or similar to make it easier for international costumers. The food was overall good comparing to our other stays in the Seychelles, and deaccent compared to our normal preferences. The fish dishes was the most refined, but also these could be further improved by consistency in texture. The burger paddy was ok, but did taste a bit like a prefab paddy of higher class. The portion sizes was to large if you wanted to eat more than one dish, it would be nice if they tried to adapt more to the entirety of the dining experience. Also the breakfast felt a bit directed, note that some people do not eat fat or salty foods during the morning, hence to start/to end should be more like lighter foods/ brunch dishes.

Excellent. The location is just wonderful. It exceeded our expectations. Its a hidden gem in Mahe area. Everyone at hotel is very atentious and kind and service is just great. Its also a perfect place for those who enjoy privacy. We definetely want to come back.

We had an absolutely fantastic honeymoon at the JA Enchanted Island. We stayed in Villa Lagati which is very private, has an extraordinary view and private access to the beautiful beach. The staff were all welcoming and helpful at all times. The communication once on the island is via Whats app where you are sent the tide timings and weather each morning and you can also use it to book any excursions which is really useful. The hotel arranged for a boat to collect us and take us to Moyenne which is only a few minutes away and is a must if you want to see the magnificent giant tortoises! One point to note is that all beaches in the Seychelles are public so you do get boats dropping people to the beach. We found this happened between around 11am and 3pm so we went to the beach each morning before this and had it completely to ourselves. At low tide you can also walk across to Long Island.
