My new wife and I spent 3 nights here during our honeymoon and we highly recommend this place if you want a chilled out break that has paradise at the door. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, and stepping right from the apartment into the gorgeous soft sand of a magnificent beach is one of life's great pleasures.

We stayed here for a week and loved every minute of it. It is located on a beautiful stretch of public beach. We didn't mind that but you do have people who go right by the front deck looking in at you as you eat your meals.If this would bother you , there is a breakfast bar to eat at... More

We were looking for a reasonable priced accommodation but at the same time great location. We thought we would never find one, but luckily we found Clef Des Iles! A beautiful, quaint, simple property in Beau Vallon. You will really have island life feel when you stay here. There's a kitchenette if you wish to do a self catering or... More

My wife and I stayed here for 10 days in May 2012. We looked hard for accommodation and chose this place over the hugely expensive resorts. What a great decision!! The location of the apartments on the beach is second to none and it's handy to any number of shops and places to eat. There's fresh fish for sale at... More

I stayed in four different places in the Seychelles and this was my favorite.  Not a resort, Clef des Iles is instead an intimate place consisting of just four large comfortable bungalows set directly on a beautiful beach.  I loved seeing the ocean view from every room, and falling asleep to ocean breezes and the sound of the waves.  The...

Situated right on the beach, beautiful and spacious accomodation, restaurants and diving center at next-door distance, very kind and helpful owner and staff, not cheap, but absolutely worth of the price, I can really recomend this! Just be aware the sea makes some noise during the nights, even when it is calm...

I looked for beach chalets with two bedrooms for our trip to Seychelles and stayed in 5 different places. Proximity of a good beach was a priority as well as not having to cook dinner ourselves. Our first stay was at Clef des Iles. It has a wonderful location right on the beach at Beau Vallon. The building is new... More

This was our choice for the last two nights in Mahe. If you ever dreamed of a flat with the sea RIGHT AT YOUR DOORSTEP, this is the place for you! When the ebb is high, the sea actually reaches the gallery. The Beau Vallon Beach is the busiest in Mahe, and the most popular one. Two kilometers of white... More

Words can not explain how perfect the location is. The douplex is soooo romantic and we got used to the hot nights. We listened to the sound of the waves and the exotic birds at night. In the daytime we snorkeled just on the right side of the house, by the rocks, and saw the most fascinating fish. If we... More
