Anantara - accommodation in Mahé Island

The experience was phenomenal, with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff — from the Red in Red team, servers, cleaners, to the lifeguards. The place was spotless, and all amenities were easily accessible.

We had a great experience here - we did a split stay as visiting another island in between, the team recognised us when we returned and had prepared our room for an early arrival which we really appreciated. The concierge (Debbie) was brilliant, really friendly and engaging every time we met with her and able to make good restaurant suggestions, helped with early airport taxis and sorting a rum tasting. We didn’t stay long enough to do any activities but seemed like lots of options available, the beach restaurant is cool with a nice team and good food but I didn’t like that you had to pay extra (1000SCR) if you wanted to use a lounger.

From the moment we arrived at Hilton Northolme, it felt like stepping into a postcard that decided to come alive — and then handed us a welcome drink with a view straight out of fantasy. We were surprised with an incredible upgrade to one of their signature villas, and let me just say — it was next-level. Perched above the Indian Ocean, with sweeping views of endless blue and tropical green, this wasn’t just a room… it was a sanctuary. And then… the infinity pool. Yes, that pool — the kind that makes your soul exhale. Floating at the edge of the world, watching the sun melt into the sea, surrounded by absolute serenity — it was pure magic. I’ve stayed in luxury hotels around the world, but few have delivered a moment of peace quite like this. The staff? Warm, gracious, and genuine. From check-in to the last goodbye, every interaction felt heartfelt — like they were as excited about our stay as we were. Whether you’re coming to celebrate something special or just need a place to truly disconnect and reconnect with nature, Hilton Northolme delivers beauty, comfort, and that rare kind of luxury that still feels personal. 10/10 — worth every second.
