Hotel · Glacis, Mahé
★★★★★ 5 (48 Google reviews)
✓ Verified listing · Official Seychelles Tourism registerSunbird Villas is a 17-room hotel on the mountainside at Glacis, on the north coast of Mahé, and it holds a perfect 5.0 rating across 48 guest reviews. The setting sits above the coast, and the ocean and coastline views from the balconies are what guests return to again and again. It is a small hotel run with real attention, and the reviews read as one steady note of comfort and care.
The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean, with large beds and a breathtaking view from the balcony. Housekeeping cleans them daily. Guests describe the apartments as well appointed, each one looking out over the ocean and the coastline. Breakfast is served and guests call it good. The overall feel is quiet and unhurried, a place people book to relax rather than to be entertained.
The owner is Cecile Berlouis, and guests single her out by name. One guest praised her hospitality, another called her a lovely host, and a third said she has an eye for every detail. One traveller landed on a 4:25am flight, hours before the noon check-in, and Cecile opened a room early so they could rest and refresh. Piyal manages the premises and, as one guest put it, knows everything going on and runs it professionally. The service is friendly and understated, often reading what guests need before they ask.
Glacis sits along the north coast of Mahé, a short drive from Beau Vallon and its beach. One honest note runs through the reviews. There is a steep climb up to the villas, which guests flag plainly, though they add it is manageable. That climb is the price of the height, and the height is what gives every balcony its ocean and coastline view. The 5.0 rating reflects rooms that deliver on comfort, a host who cares about detail, and service that quietly stays a step ahead.

We had the pleasure to stay for few nights at Sunbird Villas during our holidays in Seychelles, and it was a delightful stay. The rooms are very comfortable, spacious, clean, and with breathtaking view. The service from the staff and hospitality from the owner Mrs Berlouis was outstanding.

Fantastic location on the side of the mountain, with an amazing ocean view from the balcony. A large and comfortable bed. Friendly service; rooms are kept clean on a daily basis. Good breakfast. Would definitely come back! Please be aware of the steep climb to the villas. It’s nothing you can’t manage, but this way it

We had a wonderful time at Sunbird . Cecil is an angel . Our flight arrived around 04:25 am and check in was not until 12pm . She made a room available for us ( my husband and two kids) to rest and refresh before we could check in . Overall, the people of Seychelles are beautiful souls . I recommend 100%

A wonderful place to relax and unwind. Rooms are very well appointed and have super views of the ocean and coastline. Staff are wonderful. Very friendly and professional - in an under-stated way. Not at all intrusive but always helpful and often pre-empting our requirements. Cecile is a lovely host and made us feel as

Glacis runs along the northern tip of Mahé, above the coast road. The hotel sits on the mountainside, so a car is useful both for the steep approach and for getting around. Beau Vallon, the island's main swimming beach with its restaurants and dive shops, is a short drive to the south. Victoria, the capital, is roughly twenty minutes away by road, and the airport sits on the far side of it. The balconies face the ocean and the coastline, so much of the view is had without leaving the property. For beaches, shops and dinners out, plan on driving rather than walking.
