Fishermans Cove Resort – Inherited Paradise
The Resort echoes the rich history of the Seychelles’ multi-dimensional culture – and beyond. The pedigree of this hotel extends back to 1900s, even before the opening of the International airport several decades later and ranks among the very earliest island accommodation establishments on the island to open its doors to the first wide-eyed travelers to visit these shores.
Situated in the area of Bel Ombre on the principal island of Mahé, the birthplace of Seychellois hospitality, the property nestles in its very own corner of a lush tropical paradise. Whether walking on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles, relaxing at the pool or savouring the extraordinary nuances of Creole cuisine, a stay at Fisherman’s Cove creates memories to last a lifetime.

Offering an extensive choice of rooms with magnificent beachfront views of the Beau Vallon Beach, complete with ivory sands and crystal clear Indian Ocean waters, each is designed to embrace a typical Creole style and all are open plan creating an open natural setting. Each room enjoys its own private wooden terrace offering beautiful views of the resort’s lush tropical gardens or dazzling blue Indian Ocean. The resorts asymmetrically shaped infinity pool creates a setting for you to spend a long, languid day relaxing in the sun on one of the surrounding sun loungers.
The resort boasts two restaurants (Le Cardinal and Paris Seychelles) and two bars (Le Cocoloba and The Sunset), all with ocean-facing views, featuring a sensational selection of international and local dishes in an elegant, yet relaxed, atmosphere.
