Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa is an adults-only (13 years and older) five-star villa resort on the north coast of Mahé at Glacis, looking over Beau Vallon Bay. All 56 villas sit on stilts or terraces with ocean outlooks, and the resort is known for its intimate scale, infinity pool and oceanfront spa.
Villa categories run from King Sunset and Oceanview villas through Premium Oceanfront villas to Grand Oceanview villas with private infinity pools and one two-bedroom oceanfront pool villa. Dining includes Mahé Restaurant and Wave, plus Ocean View Bar and The Lower Deck gin bar. Seychelles International Airport is about 15 to 20 minutes by road.
We know this hotel well and will be adding our own first-hand impressions here soon.
Accommodation is in 56 villas: King Sunset, King Oceanview and King Premium Oceanfront villas (about 90m²), Grand Oceanview villas with infinity pool (about 130m²) and one Two Bedroom Oceanfront Pool Villa (about 360m²). Expect a balcony or terrace, air conditioning, minibar, tea and coffee, flat-screen TV and a jacuzzi in most categories. Ask us which outlook suits your trip.
Dining is intimate rather than sprawling: Mahé Restaurant for Creole-inspired à la carte breakfast and dinner, Wave for lunch and dinner with sea views, Ocean View Bar for sunsets, and The Lower Deck for gin-focused evenings. Ask us what your board basis covers.
Facilities include the infinity pool overlooking Beau Vallon Bay, eForea Spa, a 24-hour fitness centre, a coral-reef sponsorship programme and an arrival lounge. This is a couples' resort rather than a family hotel.
Overall, Hilton Seychelles Northolme is a five-star north-Mahé choice for couples and honeymooners who want villa privacy, sunset views and a compact adults-only resort close to the airport.
This resort is built for couples and honeymooners: adults-only policy, villa decks and spa time. Ask us about honeymoon extras for your dates.
Not suitable for children under 13. For family holidays on Mahé, ask us about other resorts that welcome younger guests.
eForea Spa sits in an oceanfront setting with a menu of massages and wellness treatments. Ask us for the current menu.
