The villa

The family villa with its own story.

South is the sister villa to North, 102 square metres, and made deliberately different, because no two homes at Alibel are alike. Two bedrooms, each with a super king bed, a big open living room, and a kitchen built in rich island timber and marble. The long covered balcony has rocking chairs and a dining table above the garden, and below sits the gazebo, a shaded spot for a slow breakfast. The ceilings and furniture are hand-built from reclaimed timber, the paintings are Salifa's own, and the beach at Anse à la Mouche is a minute's walk from the door.

South is fully self-catering, a family home for four with a character all its own, made deliberately different from its sister villa North. Everyone shares the swimming pool and tropical garden, and the garden gazebo below the balcony is a shaded corner for a slow breakfast. The bay at Anse à la Mouche is calm and shallow, one of the gentler beaches on Mahé for children, and the family’s giant tortoises are a short walk away.

In detail

South, in detail.

The living space and kitchen

South is 102 square metres over one open, easy layout, with a broad living room and a full self-catering kitchen built in rich island timber and marble. You cook for the family and keep your own hours. Book direct and a welcome basket of fruit and vegetables from the family farm is waiting when you arrive.

Sleeping and the bathroom

There are two bedrooms, each with a super king bed, so South sleeps four in comfort. The bathroom is finished in marble, with a walk-in shower and a stone basin. Beds are made up before you arrive.

The balcony and the garden gazebo

A long covered balcony runs above the garden, with rocking chairs and a dining table for four. Below it sits the gazebo, a shaded spot for a slow breakfast, and beyond that the shared swimming pool and tropical garden.

Made for families

South was built for a family to settle into. There is room for four, the shared pool and garden are close and easy to watch, and the family’s giant tortoises are a short walk away. Being self-catering means mealtimes and naps run on your own schedule, not a hotel’s.

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.
