Our Opinion... Isolated, small and incredibly romantic, hidden at the end of a long tropical track, Anse Soleil Beachcomber is idyllic for escapists in search of peace and tranquillity – no entertainment, no glitz or glamour – just simple charm and warm hospitality. The small restaurant on the beach is well worth a visit  

From: £49.00 B&B.

Located on the beautiful south-west coast of Mahé, Anse Soleil Beachcomber hides in a lush environment of tropical plants and flowers tucked away in a wonderful sandy cove.

All rooms are sea-facing. The standard rooms have ceiling fans and air conditioning and are located a few steps from the beach. The superior rooms are larger, more private with air conditioning. The newly added Premier rooms offer a very good quality of accommodation at an attractive price.

Swimming and snorkelling can be enjoyed all year round and the soft, wide beach is only a few yards from the hotel. The informal bar and restaurant offer superb views over the bay and serve a delicious selection of Creole dishes, fresh fish, lightly spiced meats, pastas, delicious seafood, vegetarian meals and a very appetising children's menu.

There is also a small local restaurant on the far end of the beach to tempt palates with a delicious range of fresh sea food.
