A Magical Holiday Experience at Dar & Douce, Seychelles Our 13-night stay over New Year 24/25 at Dar & Douce in Au Cap was absolutely wonderful. Despite the rainy season, the Seychellois warmth—both in climate and hospitality—shone through, making our vacation unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Peter and his daughter Guyanne, along with the wonderful housekeeper Janine, made us feel right at home. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and readiness to help with solutions to any queries were exceptional. Peter’s resourcefulness in arranging car hire, recommending fantastic restaurants, and guiding us towards hidden gems around the island was invaluable. The property itself is comfortable and charming, offering excellent value for money. The peaceful ambiance and thoughtful touches made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Dar & Douce is more than just a place to stay—it’s a wonderful haven from which to experience the true essence of Seychelles. We’re so grateful to Peter, Guyanne, and Janine for their care and hospitality, which turned our holiday into a special and memorable experience. We will be back, for sure. It was a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you!

Best holidays

Home away from home...

The place had a great view. Bed was super comfortable, good wifi. The owners were very sweet and helpful. I was even able to book transport with their help. The beach is a short walk and there is a little mini market right next to it. I was also able to walk to the couple restaurants and the Rum distillery. Definitely great value here.

It was our first time in Seychelles and the experience was definitely unforgettable and amazing ! The condo was clean, quiet and very comfortable with everything equipped. Location was perfect for us. Close to the beach, dinning and bus stop where we were able to get a bus to any location. Very safe. People were very warm and welcoming and property owners very sweet. We want to thank them for every given day to us and for making us feel home while being on vacation. Very clean too. We have our condo cleaned daily and had new sheets. We will be back and for sure at the same spot.

Perfect location to go around Mahe main island, not too far from the airport and beach! Large bedroom and living room!

Pleasant spacious quiet

The apartment was very nice. Very large. No view from downstairs apartment. Basic dishes. Sugar, milk and tea provided. Full kitchen. Large bathroom. Iron and ironing board. TV channels in a lot of languages. Sufficient secure parking. Residential neighborhood in the hills. Our problems: It was not communicated to us that we had to arrange an exact time to be at the property to meet the owner for formalities. You have to keep in touch by phone (WhatsApp). You cannot get into the parking area unless someone opens it from the inside. You need a gate opener once you are checked in. The access is extremely steep. Our little manual rental car almost didn’t make it up and in. The living room air conditioner leaked and we had a lot of water on the floor. Since we only stayed for two nights and knew that the owner was busy, we didn’t get it fixed. It gets hot there! You have to keep the curtains closed. We had to leave very early and couldn’t reach the owner. Then you have to have someone keep the gate open and take the keys back to the room and come back to get out. There is no separate door. If you can figure out the logistics, it’s a nice place!

GREAT customer service. Beautiful accommodation. CLEAN. Perfect view. Everything was absolutely fantastic!!!

The property had spectacular views of the ocean from the balcony. The apratment was well maintained and cleaned regularly. The only downside was that I did not have a car and the hill to the property was quite steep but managable. Transport and the beach was within walking distance.

We visited Seychelles from Canada. Loved property at first sight. Indra and Peter the owners were exceptionally accommodating and informative about sights to see and where to shop in Mahe Seychelles. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Everything was excellent from the start to the end of our stay. Peter was an amazing host! Super friendly and helpful in every way and beyond. We will never forget him and his wonderful family. Apartment was very nice and clean with separate aircons both in the bedroom and living room. We were supplied with plenty of clean towels throughout our stay and new bedsheets. Nice and quiet beach in walkable distance from the property as well as a bus stop to take you to the town or Anse Royal beach which takes just a couple minutes to get to by bus and is really beautiful. Small grocery shop just 1 minute walk away. Local people are very friendly and nice to talk to. This place was the best we could ever ask for and if we ever come back to Seychelles we know where to go :-) This really is a piece of heaven on earth. No wonder why people are so happy here.

The mountain view is amazing. The hosts are beautiful and nice people, great communication and the apartment was super clean, cleaned every 2 days with new sheets and towel change. I definitely will recommend you stay here.

It was a beautiful place to stay. Very clean. The hosts are hospitable and friendly. The morning sunrise is the best!

Good place

a good place to stay for couple or family

We had a wonderful time at the Dar & Douce. The room was very spacious and clean, with a large balcony overlooking the ocean and the mountains. Peter and Indra were so very helpful and very kind, so we felt very welcomed. There is a beautiful beach just a short 5-10 minutes walk down the road, and a little mini market also less than 2-3 minutes away. We can highly recommend this place. Thank you so much for the wonderful time!

I give this apartment a 5 star. Peter is a great host. Love the building and all the amenities. Waking up to an early morning sun rise and ocean view. Recommend having a car though as the building is a little up the hill. Apart from that I enjoyed the apartment and would definitely recommend .

Beautiful view over looking the sea, perfect spot to watch the sun come up

Perfect Place♥️

I highly recommend Dar & Douce Apartment to those who are planning to travel for leisure or for work, this place is perfect for you. The hosts of the apartment Mr. Peter and Mrs. Indra are very hospitable, they became our mother and father during our stay. They are very approachable and we saw that helping other people is truly in their hearts. We stayed their for 9 days for our quarantine and they provided all our needs. The apartment is well maintained, very neat, peaceful and with spectacular view. Indeed, satisfaction is what they offer! So what are you waiting for, book now!

Exemplary welcome.

Checked in for 2 days as unexpectedly needed extra accommodation due to flight rescheduling. Welcome fantastic and all modern conveniences. Possible to stay utilising public transport, however a hire car, at least for a few days, is beneficial to explore the beaches all around.

100% Better than we could have hoped for

Our hosts were truly amazing, friendly, generous, and caring. Pete sent a driver to meet our ungodly 2:30 am flight. Indra was gracious to drive us to a quick tour of the area and helped us shop for some supplies. Our stay was perfect, even with one day of heavy rain, the apartment is so relaxing, we did not mind staying in and chilling. They arranged for a private driver to do a day tour. Chelo was excellent. The only bad part was we were only there for three days; we would have loved another day or two.
