The Runway Lodge
Seychelles
At a glance
The Runway Lodge is a small bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in the Victoria area of Mahé, positioned opposite Seychelles International Airport. Its setting is geared towards convenience, with the airport only a few metres away. The lodge suits transit stays after a flight, short stopovers and travellers looking for a base from which to explore Mahé.
Five guest rooms give the property an intimate, residential character. Each room is prepared with comfort and privacy in mind, with crisp sheets, a supportive mattress, a rain shower and free unlimited Wi-Fi. The lodge also provides a living and dining area, creating a shared indoor space for guests who prefer a quieter setting than a larger hotel.
Outside, a veranda, gazebo, swimming-pool garden and parking area add practical space around the property. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, with warm Creole hospitality shaping the guesthouse experience. Its small scale makes it suited to travellers who value a straightforward stay close to the airport rather than a full-service resort environment.
Breakfast is available when ordered for an additional fee, and the home-cooked format complements the lodge’s bed-and-breakfast character. Dining is centred on breakfast rather than a broad restaurant service, making the property particularly practical for guests who need a comfortable place to rest before or after a flight.
The Runway Lodge can also serve as a base for time on Mahé. Its location makes airport access simple, while the living spaces, garden and pool provide places to unwind between outings. Day-use accommodation is also offered for travellers who need a room near the airport without an overnight stay. Overall, the lodge combines a convenient airport setting with a small guesthouse feel, basic leisure facilities and a personal Creole welcome.
