Overview

Tucked away in the far north of Mahe is the top-notch Hilton Seychelles Northolme resort. Despite being just 25 minutes from the island’s airport - the only international airport in all of the Seychelles - the property maintains a peaceful, tranquil atmosphere. Nestled along the coast, the resort offers excellent facilities, generally seamless service and unobstructed views of the Indian Ocean along with plenty of respite away from the more touristy parts of the island.

The accommodation comprises a range of guestrooms and suites, all located on stilts either up on the hillside or beside the sea and all with ocean views. All rooms and suites are decorated in a contemporary style with Seychellois artwork and decor features to add some local colour. Rooms are furnished to a very high standard and have features such as high ceilings, French doors with glass panels and dormer windows. Each room has its own private outdoor area complete with sun loungers and whirlpool, while inside there’s an en-suite bathroom with separate walk-in shower, a comfortable sitting area and an LCD TV with DVD player. Drinking water and fresh fruits are supplied, as well as bathrobes, slippers and toiletries. Room service and a butler service are both available on request.

The resort has an impressive line-up of on-site facilities. There are no fewer than three restaurants that offer a range of culinary experiences from a la carte fine dining with themed nights, to al fresco dining under the stars with delicious Creole dishes, and casual beachside dining with colourful cocktails and live entertainment. The well-equipped fitness centre and lovely spa are well worth a visit, and there’s also a pool and direct access to the beach, where many enjoy snorkelling or just lazing around in the sun.

There’s plenty to explore around Mahe and the resort has a local area transportation service that offers convenient access to nearby points of interest. There are plenty of excursions and day trips on offer, including visits to the National History Museum, Bel Air Cemetery and tea plantation, not to mention Mahe’s capital city Victoria and the island’s collection of some 60 fine beaches. For the more active, there are loads of water-based activities such as scuba diving and jet skiing. Helicopter tours of the island are highly recommended, as is visiting the Morne Seychellois National Park, which covers a fifth of the island and has a dozen hiking trails to explore.

Families are welcome, although note that the hotel has a fairly adult feel and only accepts children aged 13 or over.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
