Spacious and never crowded: The resort was fully booked during our stay, but it never felt packed. There were always plenty of empty lounge chairs and private spots around the beach and resort, making it feel peaceful and exclusive. Amazing staff: Everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming, making our stay feel extra special. Beautiful beaches: The resort has two beaches. One has a stunning coral reef for snorkeling, even better than many tour spots. The other is quieter and has shallow waters, perfect for kayaking or for kids to swim. Great honeymoon options: They offer amazing experiences for couples. We had a candlelit dinner on the beach, a sunset cruise, and a lovely surprise when they gifted us our final dinner. Tortoise park inside the resort: You can pet and feed giant tortoises, which was such a unique and fun experience. Incredible wine menu: Every restaurant had an extensive wine list with pages of great wines from all over the world. The sommeliers clearly knew their stuff, and we loved their recommendations. We wanted to do a wine tasting, but unfortunately, it was fully booked.

The resort has five restaurants—one buffet and four à la carte. While there’s a good variety, and the buffet theme changes daily, we found the food a bit underwhelming. It looks great, but the taste doesn’t quite match the presentation. Honestly, it felt more like a three-star restaurant than what you’d expect from a luxury resort.

Wonderful hotel to stay in. We don't usually holiday in resort environments, but Ephelia was exceptional. The food was incredible. Regarding conscious eating: vegetarian / vegan / pescatarian - there's an Asian section with fantastic vegetarian / vegan options, and delicious fish every day in a million ways. We don't know how Ephelia does it: ALL the staff were totally sensational - every single person, without exception, from top to bottom, beginning to end. The property is huge, but there are golf carts which pick up and drop off. Even when it's fully booked, as it was, it doesn't feel crowded. There are 2 phenomenal beaches and 4 brilliant pools, one of which is a "quiet pool", which we liked. The beach is not crowded, and kept very clean. Excellent and beautiful gardens all around. The yoga offering every day was wonderful, the Spa environment is super.

A small thing only: We didn't realise Ephelia is so popular with families. We are parents & understand the dynamics of little children, but were traveling without & would have appreciated an adults only restaurant option - especially for dinner - similar to the "quiet pool" area.

The location is fantastic if you want to just chill. Two wonderful beaches either side of the resort. Kid's club was excellent. Snorkelling was very good off the northern beach.

A la carte restaurants were fully booked for dinner despite trying to book 4 days in advance. While they eventually secured tables for 2 of the 4 nights it was an annoying start to the holiday arriving to no availability. Shuttle schedule could be more frequent or else bicycles should be provided at a more reasonable rates. One major annoyance that isn't really the hotels fault, but we saw so many mosquitos here compared to La Digue and Praslin, if you are someone who gets bitten badly bring plenty of repellant.

I’m going to write a long report as the hotel worth considering for a get-away holidays and is a real gem in Mahe. It has everything you need for perfect stay, specially for families with kids. Plenty of things to keep you and kids busy. Literally, you can stay all the time in the hotel but feel that you’ve been to many places and done all possible activities. Spa is beyond expectations, with external whirlpools with thermal and cool water, magnificent views to tropical gardens. The therapy (massage) I’ve got was very professional. I believe the hotel has a very effective management team. The facilities, services, every detail is carefully envisaged and devised to the maximum comfort of clients. The area is huge, it gives you the feeling of living in the tropical garden/forest. The layout of accommodation is designed in a way to give the feeling of privacy, tranquility and The staff in the hotel is extremely polite, attentive and efficient. There are many options for dining. All restaurants in the hotel making a high class food. The breakfast and buffet dinner (Corossol restaurant) are beyond expectations, huge variety of dishes from international cuisine. It’s obvious the menu prepared with thorough consideration for people with different preferences and diets. Everything is tasty, fresh, well presented. The deserts for dinner are in abundance and absolutely delicious! I recommend to take half/full board, it’s cost-effective and well worth it. The hotel has 2 main beaches. The North beach is magnificent, long, absolutely clean with no corals or seaweeds, not effected by tides, you can swim anytime. There are few travel agencies located in the hotel which can offer various excursions and activities, I recommend Creol Agency. Very efficient staff and service they provide at competitive prices. Definitely, I would recommend this hotel for stay in Seychelles, no disappointments during our entire stay.

During our recent anniversary celebration in Seychelles, we stayed at Constance Ephelia, where our experience was exceptional. The staff welcomed us with warm hospitality, making us feel valued throughout our stay. Our room was spacious, elegant, and impeccably clean, featuring a balcony overlooking the garden, with special mention to Sanjay, who ensured our comfort with attentive service. The location offered breathtaking views, with direct access to both beaches and lush surroundings. Dining at Corossol was a highlight; the food was of high quality and beautifully presented, complemented by the exceptional service from Chef Manoj and Sommelier Sachin, who enhanced our anniversary dinner. The hotel’s facilities were also impressive, with a well-maintained spa and wellness center, where the passionate Spa Manager Chennet catered to our pampering needs. Additionally, we enjoyed eco-friendly activities, including a guided tour of the mangroves with Hillary, who encouraged environmental awareness. Overall, Constance Ephelia exceeded our expectations, and we are eagerly anticipating our next visit.

Nothing

The hotel is in an absolutely beautiful setting, the same size as a Maldivian island resort (and run in the same way) but with the benefit of being on a beautiful mountainous island with more to explore. It doesn't encroach onto the two pristine white sand beaches which feel untouched and unspoilt and from the sea you don't even know it's there as it's hidden by the palm trees. Overall, the staff are very friendly, particularly so to our 18 month old son. It is in fact one of the most family friendly hotels I have been to - children before the age of 6 eat free from a decent children's menu and are well catered for in all of the restaurants. There are lots of different pools to swim in, all with shallow pools attached and because there are so many none of them ever feel too busy. There is a fantastic kids club available and even a giant tortoise enclosure which you can feed each day in the afternoon. I want to say a particularly big thank you to John and Ismael who were brilliant with our son, taking him (and us!) on lots of buggy tours of the resort. And also to Prabhu in the Corrosol and Adam & Eve restaurants.

Nothing, we loved it all.

Wonderful place emerged in the nature in the beautiful island of Mahe, with incredible attention to details and facilities to enjoy. We found that we didn't want to leave the hotel much because its beaches were better then outside, food was great and having the choices of swimming pools was also amazing. I can only recommend, whether for couples, young families or people who just want to relax in nature or spend an active holiday swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and using the gym.

The only 'downside' was that food options around the hotel are limited, if you stay at Ephelia, you will need to rent a car to get out of there and the nearest restaurants/villages/city is about half an hour drive (not easy to drive there, lots of curvy roads on the mountains). So eventually we preferred to stay in and dine at the hotel's restaurants, which were amazing quality but really pricey.

This resort was 10/10 and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting an island / beach holiday with family and an active but also very relaxing holiday. We came with 5 teenage and adult children and had the most wonderful time. The facilities are outstanding - there was something for everyone. The spa and the fitness centre were superb. We loved the North and South beaches and it was easy to organise water sports - snorkelling, fishing and diving trips. The staff were so friendly and the whole place has a lovely atmosphere. The resort was very full when we were there but it never felt crowded and the other guests were of a high quality so it never felt noisy. People were respectful and discreet. The restaurants were nothing short of brilliant. We had half board - which I highly recommend - with breakfast and supper included. The breakfast buffet is outstanding and filled us up until supper. We loved Adam and Eve, the Asian restaurant, especially. Helios, the Italian/ Mediterranean, was also great. And the buffer was a good option for supper too... the Christmas Eve buffet was one of the most memorable meals of my lifetime, with oysters from Australia and other seafood, the most incredible cheese board and more. What else can I say? We ventured out on a short hike to a waterfall, which was lovely and had planned to make use of the tennis, squash and padel courts, but ran out of time! I highly recommend this resort and the Seychelles as a destination (so much nicer, more natural and real than Mauritius or the Maldives!!)

This hotel is unreal, in a great way. We have never experienced such outstanding service and facilities. The staff members are all lovely and there's nothing you cannot do there. We tried different restaurants, all great experiences. The beach bar team (Kabana) does a great job, special shout-out to Elton who's just amazing! Unfortunately the weather wasn't great some of the days, which is not the hotel's fault, but even that showed that there's no better place to be than this resort. Would recommend to anyone who wants to feel extra special! We had breakfast and dinner included, which I'd recommend too. The pool areas were beautiful too, and the spa is just superb! The room, we had a junior suite, and the room service was outstanding!

The hotel is so big that it's divided in a South and North area. The South area is the one facing the open sea more, therefore tends to be more windy and the water less accessible. The North area has the lovely beach bar and more accessible water front with calmer currents. Both sides are great, but I wished there'd be an option to choose which side you'll want to stay (probably up to the room you book). We had to get quite a few buggy rides to the North as the walk can be quite long.
