We stayed for 9 nights at Villa Belle Plage and really enjoyed our stay. All the information we received from Bert in advance was useful and relevant and helped us to plan our stay. Bert booked our hire car and it was ready and waiting as we stepped out of the airport doors. He also printed out our ferry tickets for a trip to La Digue (a definite must) and took a message from a restaurant we were trying to get in touch with. Such a lovely gentleman!
The Villa is beautifully situated on a quiet beach not far from Anse Georgette, another stunning beach. The winds were coming in quite strongly most of the time we were there and bringing in some seaweed so we often swam elsewhere on Praslin but always came home for sundowners at sunset! There are several local grocery shops you can walk to and we ate in as well as dined out (the villa is well-stocked with cooking utensils).
Praslin is a beautiful island and we found lots to do. We visited both Vallée de Mai and Fond Ferdinand nature trails (you can get a ticket online to cover both.) We also took Bert’s recommendation for a day out by boat to Curieuse and St Pierre for giant tortoises and snorkelling.
I thoroughly recommend Villa Belle Plage.

Beautiful location. Extremely clean and everything had been provided for even down to insect repellent coils to burn for a romantic evening eating on the patio listening to the waves. Perfect location for walking to Anse Georgette beach and hiking over the Island to Anse Lazio beach which are both breathtaking. We hired a car for our last 3 days to explore the whole Island which our host Bert organised for us and was very cheap, however there is a regular bus service and the locals are very friendly. We had a enjoyable visit to Vallée de Mai nature reserve which was about a 20min drive . We would definitely recommend a self catering stay at Villa Belle Plage to explore Praslin Island. There are a few restaurants within walking distance and a couple of takeaways however we mainly self catered buying groceries from the 3 local stores within a short walking distance. Bert lives next door for any assistance but there is a booklet provided with all information needed for your stay. Thank you for a wonderful 8 night stay which was part of our 15 nights visiting the Seychelles

First of all, the owner Bert is really nice and helps with everything we needed.
We arrived to the Seychelles for a honeymoon and he greeted us with champagne and chocolate.
The villas are located right on the beach (the balcony is literally on the sand, about 20-30 meters from the water!). The villa is of a high standard, modern and equipped with everything you need (fully equipped kitchen, private sun beds, furnished balcony, dining area, outdoor shower for the sand from the sea), The owner seems to have thought of every little detail.
The villas are located on the northwest coast of the island so the balcony and private beach that the property offers are right in front of the sunset. However, during the time we were (end of March) there were lots of seaweed in the water and strong waves so we did not swim at the beach but enjoyed the beauty and scenery it offers.
The villas are very close to the exclusive Anse Georget beach, Bert provides free pass to rhe beach.
During the COVID19 period there are no restaurants within walking distance, but in any case it is advisable to rent a car on the island.
On the downside, the air conditioner could have cooled more and the current in the shower was quite weak.
In general we highly recommend the property and Bert hospitality and if we ever return to the Seychelles we will definitely stay there again!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review, it is truly appreciated. Sorry about the sea weed ..they are gone now ..we don't normally get them at this time of the year .. we had a heavy storm recently and that brought them in. The water supply is straight from the mains and we do loose pressure once in a while when they are cleaning the reservoir. We hope that we will be able to welcome you back again one day soon! Best regards, Bert

Clean, comfortable & beautiful.
Posted 22 Mar 2020 on HotelsWhat a find! Bert has two perfectly laid-out small villas, that are immaculately clean, and would be comfortable for short or long-duration stays. Only a few steps from a wonderful private beach, the villas are aptly named. Bert is a friendly and helpful host, and there are a number of small shops, markets, and restaurants within easy walking distance. In our experience, the MAS supermarket (which is only slightly further away than the Super Value market) has a much larger selection of items. Also, while there are plenty of nearby restaurants, you should call before stopping in to make sure they are open.

Sunsets to die for
Posted 2 Jun 2019 on HotelsWe immensely enjoyed our stay at the villa. The sunsets are to die for and we often found ourselves ditching more famous locations on the island to come and watch the sunsets from the beach beds at Villa Belle Plage.
Bert also gave us very helpful recommendations and being able to go to Anse Georgette without pre-booking was great.
Villa itself was nice to spend evenings at and the bed was very comfortable. We really appreciated the fact that we came back to nicely made bed and everything very tidy. The welcome drink was also very much appreciated.

Great stay in a superb villa!
Posted 5 Apr 2019 on HotelsWe stayed 4 nights, great hospitality from Bert, villa is high end, very well thought and completely equipped. Bedding super comfortable with excellent A/C in the bedroom.
We did not have a car: went walking to anse georgette (no need to book ahead here, bert has a pass) and by bus to anse lazio.
Bert organized the transfers from airport/to jetty.
Restaurants , takeaway and grocery walking distance.
Also spent time on the loungers on the beach, relaxing and reading, watching sunsets.
Bring water shoes ideally for the villa beach ( coral rubble) and sometimes waves can be big, but we were able to swim.
I recommend without any hesitation!

Villa Belle Plage review
Posted 31 Jan 2019 on HotelsVery nice modern apartment right on the beach. Has lounge chairs right on the beach which is virtually private. Very quiet and peaceful. Owner Bert very nice and helpful, arranged a snorkelling trip for us to one of the nearby islands. Apartment in very good condition with everything you could possibly need and even cleaned once a day with turn down service. Would highly recommend.
