Domaine Desaubin sits just back from Anse Intendance, one of the wildest and most beautiful beaches on Mahé's south coast, and it feels less like a guesthouse than a private tropical garden with a few villas in it. Guests write about giant tortoises and their young wandering the grounds, peacocks, guinea fowl, geese and ducks among the flowers and palms, and a level of planting that more than one reviewer rates against any garden in the south of the island. The villas are called spacious and genuinely luxurious, with large windows, terraces, outdoor showers and a real eye for detail.

About Domaine Desaubin
The beach is the other half of the story. Intendance is right there, framed by trees and palms that give welcome shade, and several guests describe watching sea turtles come ashore in the evening to lay their eggs in the sand, a rare thing to have on your doorstep. A porch view straight to the ocean, a communal pool that guests call the ideal size and temperature, and long stretches of quiet make this the kind of place people book for a few nights and wish they had booked for more.
Lena, who owns and runs it, and staff members like Polaz are described as warm and genuinely helpful, present when needed and unobtrusive otherwise. One guest called a nine-night stay a wonderland, and that tone, of a place that quietly overdelivers, runs through the reviews. It is a small, personal operation, and the care shows.
For a quiet, nature-rich stay on the south coast, Domaine Desaubin is hard to better.

These Villas are gorgeous!! We stayed for a couple days and it’s perfect. It’s right next to the beach but also covered in good shade by some trees and palms. You have a direct view on the ocean from the porch - we even saw a sea turtle coming up the beach one morning. The owners and the entire team are lovely and supe
A short walk from the villa you have a communal pool which is an ideal size and nice temperature. Then beyond that was a very nice beach which was very private. If you are lucky as we were you could see turtles come onto the beach and lay their eggs, a wonderful and amazing experience. Very big thank you to Polaz ( he

The Area
Anse Intendance is a broad, dramatic beach on the south coast of Mahé, known for its powerful surf, its wide sweep of pale sand and the green hills behind it. The waves can be strong, so it is more a beach for walking, watching and careful swimming than for a calm float, and it stays refreshingly undeveloped, with sea turtles nesting here in season. It is about a thirty to forty minute drive from Victoria and the airport, and a hire car is really needed, but that remoteness is exactly why the beach stays as unspoiled as it does. The luxury Banyan Tree resort shares this stretch of coast.
