Our experience at Le Bonheur Villa in the Seychelles was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived — even at 4am — we were welcomed with genuine warmth and care. Marylou, the manager, went above and beyond to facilitate our arrival at that hour, setting the tone for the rest of our stay. She runs the villa with grace and attention to detail, and is also incredibly knowledgeable about wine — if you ask, she will gladly recommend thoughtful pairings that beautifully complement the food. Her suggestions truly enhanced our dining experience. The culinary highlight of our stay was the restaurant — by far the best we experienced in the Seychelles. Chef Bernard's tuna steak was absolutely phenomenal. I can only hope to recreate something even remotely similar at home. The quality of the food, combined with the reasonable prices, makes dining here a true delight. A heartfelt thank you goes to Sushil and Kamala, who looked after our every need with warmth and professionalism. Sushil especially deserves praise — he’s truly a man of many talents and made our stay all the more memorable. We left Le Bonheur Villa with full hearts, satisfied palates, and immense appreciation for the wonderful team that made our trip so special.

Marylene and her Staff don't try to be a hotel or just an accomodation,... they try to make your stay worthwhile! Bernard & his Staff create dinners which are absolutely amazing. We are fairly "picky" eaters and after three meals we just asked him to create something we like, the results have been amazing! Marylene and her staff are always around, if you need anything they will try everything to make it happen: - fruit platter in the afternoon we had once - We did not want to book a rental car and Marylene offered to organize one. - We declined the offer and asked her if she could just organize taxis for us when we need (taxis are rather expensive and sometimes hard to get a hold of) so she sometimes just drove us herself! When we arrived she asked us what we want to do during the stay and we had no clue so she did suggest and organize a few trips. We had the Suite and it's size is absolutely huge! In the Suite every item has charme and Marylene has a story or two to tell about things.

Wifi is not fast, but it is fast enough for whatsapp, reading news and social media! (We did not visit the Seychelles for internet speed so it is not a real problem)

Very beautiful and cozy villa with different vegetation around, Clean pool, Turtles in the backyard, very clean rooms, friendly and nice staff who will always take care of you. Big Thanks to Marynelle for great and warm welcoming us❤️ We will definitely come back and see you again.

The rooms were so cozy and clean, the terrace and pool was so nice too. Near by the villa very nice beach, Market, Bus Station Everything what you need you have just next to you. The chef was making so tasty dinners for us and the breakfast too it’s was so delicious ☺️

A friendly small hotel with great personal service. Marylene, the proprietor, greets you personally, offers tips on what to do, and how to get around. For dinner, you are asked what you would like to have, fresh fish from the market is recommended, and deliciously prepared by her son, chef Bernard. It’s much like staying at a friends home. She dropped us off in town, because she was headed that way, and arranged for transportation when we were leaving.

The people managing the property and the staff are amazing! Also the location is great, right across a small, but great beach. Also, it’a not far from the airport. As I was travelling by myself over Christmas days for a short stay, Marylene’s family kind of ,,adopted” me, so I didn’t feel alone. The food was great, the chef and also Marylene’s son, Bernard is a great one, the Christmas dinner and lunch were great and the fact that I got to spend it with their family was amazing. This place stole my heart cause of the warmth of the people. Asmita and Vinod who are the employees there was so warm and caring. I promised to return on my next trip there and can’t wait to see everyone again.

We enjoyed our stay at the villa. It was clean and well located for our plans. The staff was extremely friendly, they were kind and always there for us trying to make you feel at home. Last day, the staff prepared breakfast for us even though we had to leave early in the morning. It’s the small details that make a difference - loved it and very much appreciated it. We really recommend the villa if you want a bit of human warmth, attention, and feeling spoiled.

The room was outdated. We could hardly close the bathroom door, and there was a huge gap between the outside window and walls; you could hear all nature noises (which makes it a challenge to rest).

A beautiful villa, with an incredibly clean private swimming pool, which is maintained every day. The owner-Marilyn, a charming woman who manages the hardworking and dedicated staff in an impressive way. Assists in providing information for visits to attractive places on the island, including booking cruises, etc. The cleaning of the room and changing of towels is done on a daily basis, and everything is clean and polished. The breakfast is excellent, with fruit salad, served personally. You can order additional meals from a personal chef as you wish. The location in the north of the island is excellent: accessible to nature reserves and about 15 minutes drive from the capital Victoria. The villa is 30 m from a beautiful beach with beautiful vegetation and rocks. In short, a perfect paradise. warmly recommended. Yaron, Israel

Nice Villa with a pool, good location by the beach, 10 minutes drive to Victoria. .Marylene was wonderfull and did everything right to make us feel at home .Bernard the chef prepared great dinner meals for us with a vriaty of exceptional courses to choose from We had a great vacation and enjoyed very much the hospitality at Villa Le Bonheur.

Several things: very helpful manager, both with suggestions for places to see and great flexibility with my travel arrangements; excellent chef, such that I felt no inclination to leave the property for dinner elsewhere; good connection to island bus service, so no need to rent a car. A very relaxing, enjoyable stay!

The diner was awesome! It was definitely the best diner we had during our stay at Seychelles. The chef is a real master. The staff is really lovely, they anticipate and care about everything and will support you directly. The host is really caring of guests and has a explicit sense for high level of service. There was some issue/misunderstanding with the room allocation, and Marlene was directly looking for an solution. She invited us for some drinks. Real/ good coffee for breakfast, not granulated.

The rooms are dark and a bit outdated. Unfortunately, the prices for the diner are high. No safe in the rooms.
