Not much

Our stay at the Chalets s’Anse Forbans was truly delightful. The Chalet was lovely, clean, and cozy, providing a perfect retreat. Bridgit was incredibly warm and welcoming, offering us excellent tips for exploring the island. Mangala was also wonderful and reliable; despite our inconvenient arrival and departure times, he was always there with a big smile, ready to assist. The beach at the Chalet, with its untouched natural beauty, remained one of our favorite spots in Seychelles even after exploring other beaches. The combination of the charming accommodations, the helpful and friendly staff, and the stunning beachfront made our stay unforgettable.

The beach is not like in the pictures - it has lots of seaweed, also some rocks at the bottom, under the water. Not so nice to swim in. There should be some pedastrian roads to the houses, but there is only grass - which is nice for walking, but not for dragging 23 kg suitcase...

Beautiful place, nice garden, very peaceful and quiet. Beach towels are a nice touch. Convenient bedroom - there is an air conditioner and also a fan, huge bed. Safe and spacious parking.

First of all, I must start with Brigitte. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, offering invaluable recommendations and insights into the area that significantly enhanced our stay. Her kindness and willingness to accommodate our needs, including extending our stay, were truly remarkable. We couldn't have asked for a better host. The staff is exceptional as well. Then, the accommodation itself is charming. In a perfect location, you are just a few meters away from a beautiful beach. Additionally, you are a 10-15 minute drive from astonishing beaches on the west of the island. If you are seeking a peaceful place with essentially your own 'private' beach, you are in the right place. We can't wait to come back again.

There wasn't anything we didn't like.

When we arrived (after a long flight) we were greeted with a warm welcome from Brigitte which made us feel at home straight away. Throughout our wonderful stay we always felt looked after and we had space and tranquility to enjoy the beautiful setting. Our chalet was situated in front of the warm calm sea. The former coconut plantation held a peaceful,enchanting ambiance and the glorious bird song in the morning and evening was very uplifting. The self catering facilities were efficient for us to produce tasty meals. We rented a car because we enjoyed exploring the island. However I noticed some guests simply enjoyed the get away from it all feel of the place and didn't go far. We were lucky enough to have the palm tree lined beach to ourselves most of the time as we were there just before the peak season. Thank you to Brigitte, her husband and family for such a special holiday.

This is the place for tranquillity on Mahe. Quiet holiday villas step away from beach. All basics are well covered. Best if come with car though public transport access is also possible. Some of the best island beaches and locations are in 10 minutes driving range. Also I'd like to note fantastic communication and efficiency of this long-standing family business. This is place to get away and be off line and down with paper book for days.

The place is probably best accessible by car, you would be best off renting a car.

Everything! We loved it so much, the beach on the doorstep was the best part. It was extremely peaceful and reaxing. The sunbeds by each bungalow were so relaxing. The property was extremely well maintained all the way from the gardens to the bungalows themselves. It was our favourite place we stayed on our honeymoon!

Apartment was clean and well equipped, host nice and helpful. Its in a quiet part of the island, right on the beach, fresh coconuts in the garden as a bonus ;-) Ideal for a few days of peace and relaxation. Also suitable for families with children because of big and safe garden. Nearest take away and grocery store about 5 minutes by car.

The chalet is just perfect. Super clean, organized and has everything you need. The beach is beautiful and only a few steps a away from The chalet. The area is incredible, many birds singing, a lot of trees. Brigite and staff did absolutely everuthing to make me feel confortable. Helped me rent a car, made reservation at restaurants, put me in contact with excursion group, gave me all the tips about seychelles. So kind! There are a few restaurantes close to the chalet and a market. Also, there is a great place that delivers food at the chalet, which is very nice after a long day. I will definitely come back!

Very nice location just by a nice and calm beach, really good for kids and snorkelling, we managed to spot many types of fish, the place is well secured and the area around it has supermarket and couple of restaurants that were a good option, Brigitte is a very welcoming host, she even offered our son a home made birthday cake which was a great gesture, she is very responsive and guided us to all the nice places to go to around the area, it is a nice place to be if you want to relax. Just to note, it will be much more efficient to have a rental car to move around, Brigitte also helped us with that, make sure to have your shampoo/bodywash however there is towels available in the chalet, general note around the island especially if you have kids, it is advisable to get insect repellent in addition to the sunscreen.

An outdoor drying rack could be very useful for the chalet. Otherwise, all perfect!

Great hosts, who have made our stay a wonderful experience! The chalets a well located in the south of the island, a perfect spot for travelers looking for a quiet and relaxed place. direct access to the beach, well equipped chalets, perfect for families.

Brigette and her brother and sister were super helpful for our entire stay. We arrived early due to our flight and they were very accommodating. They helped with everything from a car to pointing us in the direction of the good beaches and restaurants to explore in the south of Mahe Island. We loved spending time in the south of the island as it was less touristy than the north and the beaches were beautiful and more untouched.

We loved every second of it!

Dream location below coconut palms, surrounded by birds, nature, gorgeous beach with crystal clear water and endless possibilities for snorkeling on coral reef. Looks better than on all pictures of it we saw prior our vacation! The staff was amazing, you feel like visiting your far away family. Brigitte was taking care of us, giving us endless tips and recommendations and we got 150% of our holiday with her. The rest of the staff also too kind and smiling, they do everything that you have the best experience ever. This was the best holiday we ever had, if you want your private beach, coconuts, birds singing, little crabs and wonderful little house with veranda just few meters from the picturesque white sand beach, look no further!

Wi fi is a limited for a person, if you have some students with you, you have to preper your own data for shering. Staff is little bit siff, but ok, we were not too demanding.

Perfect place, all is amazing, beach, rooms, kitchen, bed, pilows, towels...garden, balcony. If we are back again, definitely that will be again the same place. I recommend for all who ask, well done.

Nothing to mention here.

You will never regret choosing this property, the location is amazing, with breathtaking views of the beach that is 3 steps away, and convenient as well because everything is close, restaurants, beaches, and it is on the most peaceful part of the island. Inside you have everything you need and it is clean and comfortable, but you’ll want to stay outside more because the garden is Eden. People on this island are the nicest I’ve seen in the world, we felt very welcomed and always cared for.

We rwally didnt liked the fact that we had to leave.

Right on one of the most beautiful beaches of Mahe. The Chalets are fully equipped and the owners are super super friendly. Even though they were fully booked , it felt like we are compketely alone due to the smart design of the compound.The scenery around is amasing, especially during twilight, where the skies and the ocean kind of blend in a mixture of colors. Great value for money , but it comes with a toll: you'll ned a car to get around. Other than that, its one big WOW.

Stayed in April 2023

Really, nothing.

You simply couldn't get a better location; on the south east with pretty much its own private beach. We hired a car for 4 days and after seeing 6 of the best Mahe beaches then Forbans was the best with the best snorkeling (octopus, squid, manta ray, conga eel and 30 fishies). Also, all staff were simply fab, really friendly and super helpful, making reservations and providing great advice.

Stayed in April 2023

Excellent place for relaxing holiday. The location is very good. A few minutes drive to the most beautiful beaches on Mahe as Anse Intendance, Petit Anse, Anse Solei. The bungalow was clean and spacious, equipped with the necessary facilities. I would highly recommend it!

Although the security of the grounds and individual bungalows was excellent, there were metal bars on the bungalow windows. As I like to relax in my accommodations while on holiday, especially during midday, looking through those bars bothered me. Also please note that Self Catering means you need to provide your own toilet and paper towels. For cooking, you need to obtain all foodstuffs.

The hosts Brigitte, Jean Pierre and Daphne were gracious. They assisted us by making phone calls one morning when our day tour transfers were late. They were prompt in responding to requests for amenities like the barbeque or granting favours to break open coconuts. The day staff also were pleasant, cheerful and a pleasure to greet on a sunny morning. The location was perfect for us two who wanted to stay away from the resorts. The beach is quite good - clean, rocks and seaweed 5 metres offshore and quite private. There are very pleasant restaurants in the south of the island. Don't be afraid to take public transit to get around but hang on during the S turns!
