One of the private beaches on Eden Island

Amazing Eden

Wonderful place, so beautiful. We loved it here. We did hire a car to explore Mahe, and enjoyed other beaches / restaurants. We also took a boat trip to the nearer islands of Mahe, which was a great day out. Met some gorgeous Giant tortoises too! But Eden itself is fine for a time without venturing out. 4 stunning beaches with the best snorkelling (bring your own gear) good selection of restaurants/ cafes. The accommodation was clean and really comfortable. We loved the balcony overlooking the harbour. We would love to return one day 😊

Wow!

The photos looked beautiful but honestly the place still took my breath away! Beautiful hosts, so thoughtful and kind, always at the end of the phone if needed and great tips provided to make the most of the area. Small shops very close by and less than 10mins drive to some stunning beaches, great takeaways and restaurants. The area is not too touristy which we loved, great local vibe but also so close to Anse Royale which is a bit livlier. 10mins drive to airport also - great. Beautiful and large terrace, kitchen was generous. Honestly we didn't want to leave.
