Chalets Bougainville

Chalets Bougainville is a self-catering accommodation complex on the southeast coast of Mahé, Seychelles, in the Takamaka and Bougainville area. Set on a hillside around 50 metres above sea level, the property faces the ocean and a nearby surf spot. The setting combines tropical vegetation, palms and flowering plants with views across the sea, Anse Royale Bay and several islands.

Several accommodation formats are available, including villas, chalets, apartments and a studio. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning in the bedroom, a ceiling fan and free high-speed Wi-Fi. Verandas overlook the ocean and landscaped garden, where an infinity pool is integrated into the grounds. Selected units also have cable television, while telephone service with free local calls is available in most units.

The atmosphere is peaceful and nature-focused, with the sound of waves and a garden surrounding the accommodation. The self-catering format suits independent travellers who prefer to prepare meals at their own pace. A small bay is around a three-minute walk away for swimming, and Anse Parnel beach, with a beachside restaurant, is within a short walk. A shop and bus stop are also nearby.

The surrounding south of Mahé offers beaches, coastal scenery and access to outdoor activities. Anse Royale, the nearest village, has shops, restaurants, a bank and an ATM, while its market sells fresh fish, fruit and vegetables. Jardin du Roi herb garden is nearby and includes a restaurant serving a Creole menu on Sundays. Walking routes lead through the island’s tropical landscape towards the west coast and Capucin Bay.

Chalets Bougainville works well for travellers seeking a quiet base with kitchen facilities, outdoor space and access to beaches in the south. Free on-site parking is available, and car hire is recommended for exploring the wider island. Bathroom towels and bed linen are provided, while beach towels are not. Cleaning takes place daily except on Sundays and public holidays.
