A Hidden Tropical Retreat at Red Coconut Self-Catering
Red Coconut Self Catering sits tucked into the green hills of Anse Poules Bleues in the Baie Lazare area on Mahé’s southwest coast. Surrounded by tropical gardens, granite boulders, and forest scenery, the property feels more like a private island estate than a traditional guest house.
The atmosphere at Red Coconut is peaceful and deeply connected to nature. The estate takes its name from the rare orange coconuts found growing on the property, adding to the authentic Creole character and history of the area.
Accommodation ranges from private cottages and villas to elegant bedrooms within the main estate. Each space has its own style and layout, creating a more personal and boutique-style experience for guests. Visitors enjoy air conditioning, WiFi, kitchen or shared kitchen facilities, spacious terraces, and views across the tropical gardens or surrounding hillsides.
One of the standout features of Red Coconut is the setting itself. The property sits elevated above the southwest coast, where sunsets, mountain scenery, and ocean glimpses become part of daily life. Guests often spend their mornings relaxing beside the pool or enjoying breakfast outdoors before exploring the south of Mahé.
The surrounding area of Baie Lazare and Anse à la Mouche offers a quieter and more scenic side of Mahé. Coastal roads wind through small villages, beaches, art studios, and local restaurants, giving visitors a chance to experience a slower and more authentic island atmosphere. Michael Adams Art Studio and several beautiful southwest coast beaches sit nearby.
Guests also appreciate the balance between privacy and convenience. While the property feels secluded and peaceful, visitors can still easily reach Takamaka, Anse Soleil, Jardin du Roi Spice Garden, and scenic hiking areas around the south of Mahé.
The estate especially appeals to couples, families, and travellers looking for a more unique Seychelles experience surrounded by nature and tropical charm. Many reviews highlight the spacious accommodation, welcoming hospitality, and calm atmosphere throughout the property.
With lush gardens, hillside views, and a relaxed Creole atmosphere, Red Coconut Self-Catering offers a very different side of Seychelles away from standard hotel stays.
