The studio

Small, warm, and made by hand.

Janmalac is a 60 square metre studio for two, with a reclaimed-timber ceiling, a full kitchen in wood and marble, and Salifa's own artwork on the walls. It opens to the garden, a minute from the calm bay at Anse à la Mouche, with your fruit basket grown a few steps away. Simple, honest, and cared for, the same as every corner of Alibel.

Janmalac is fully self-catering and our best value, a 60 square metre studio for two, hand-built in reclaimed timber with Salifa’s own artwork on the walls. It opens to the garden with its own private terrace, and your fruit basket is grown a few steps away. Everyone shares the pool, and the calm bay at Anse à la Mouche is a minute from the door.

The setting at Anse à la Mouche

The bay at Anse à la Mouche is calm and shallow, one of the gentler stretches of water on the island for children who stay near the shore. It sits on the quiet south-west coast of Mahé, about twenty minutes from Seychelles International Airport, and the beach is around fifty metres from the door.
