About Maka Bay Residence
The apartments are spacious and built for comfort. Guests describe them as immaculately clean, with real room to spread out. The property holds four apartments and beds for eight in all. The balcony is the centre of it. One guest watched sea turtles swimming down at the rocks in the morning while having breakfast. The wifi is fast, and the sound of the waves carries up from below. One family stayed nine days and found the space easy to settle into over a longer trip.
Nicole is the host guests name in review after review. She was helpful at every hour, even at night when one visitor needed her. A second kind lady works alongside her, and together they welcomed arrivals with a welcome towel and a welcome drink. The welcome comes up as heartfelt and genuine, and the service holds through the whole stay.
The setting is a scenic stretch of the island, with beaches close enough to reach on foot. One couple who rented a car said doing so let them make the most of Mahé, and that advice fits this stretch of coast well.

A Seychelles Paradise! Spacious Luxury & Unbeatable Ocean Views on Mahe Our 9-day stay at these apartments was nothing short of perfection.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay here. From the start to finish everything was perfect. The view from the balcony is so beautiful and we saw sea turtles just swimming down at the rocks in the morning while having breakfast. Fast wifi and great service. Easy to access beaches close by even just by foot. Thanks Nicole
One of our best experiences! It's located at a scenic part of the island, beautiful views. The condition of the apartment is excellent and it's immaculate clean. The host lady is the friendliest ever, we did get a heartfelt welcome and she is so helpful! We want to go back!

The Area
Machabee sits on the north coast of Mahé, part of the Glacis stretch where the road runs high above the sea and the view opens up at every bend. Beau Vallon lies a short drive south. Some beaches and coves are reachable on foot from the apartments, but the coast here is steep and spread out. Guests who rented a car said it made the difference, letting them reach restaurants and quieter beaches with ease. The drive from the airport takes around forty-five minutes across the island. A car is not essential for a quiet stay, but it turns the north coast from a view into a place you can move through.
