Airport Guide
Compare 2 airports near Glacis
The nearest gateway to Glacis is the Seychelles International Airport (SEZ), located approximately 13.46 km away on the main island of Mahé. As an international hub, SEZ offers the most convenient access, with taxis providing the fastest route (approximately 20–35 minutes) and public buses operated by SPTC serving as the most economical choice. Conversely, Praslin Island Airport (PRI) is a domestic facility situated 39.47 km from Glacis, requiring a complex transit plan. Travelers arriving at PRI must first secure an onward connection to Mahé, typically via an internal Air Seychelles flight or a multi-stage combination of taxi/bus and inter-island ferry. While the flight between airports is quick, the total travel time from PRI to Glacis is significantly longer due to necessary island-hopping transfers. For most visitors heading to Glacis, landing at SEZ is strongly recommended to avoid the logistical challenges and higher cumulative costs associated with inter-island travel. Always confirm your transport bookings in advance, as the Seychelles does not currently operate train or metro systems.

A perfect five at a very nice price!
The quality of the breakfasts is simply gorgeous!
The views and the territory are simply a tropical paradise! There was an old hotel on this site, built at the beginning of the 20th century! And everything has been carefully preserved in terms of nature, beaches to this day!
In the evening, flying foxes entertained us on the veranda with their chirping!
In the Mahe restaurant of the hotel, we had one of the best dinners in many years of our visit to the Seychelles!FromUS$452

As it was our first time in the Seychelles, I was hesitant to book a bed&breakfast place for us but I decided to listen to the positive reviews - I am glad I did!
The room is spacious and feels like home. It's spotless clean and has all one'd need for a no frills stay. What takes the experience to the next level is the view out of the balcony! one would be willing to hike for 2 hours to get to an outlook with the same view as you would get by simply stepping out side into the balcony! it's amazing!
You will get a homy breakfast served to you on that same balcony with the that epic view, too!
I strongly recommend this place. The owners' dedication to high standards of hospitality is truly impressive!
Note: Rent a car! srsly! Don't take a taxi there. it's on top of a hill (that's how you get the epic view). The roads to the place it so steep even the car might struggle to go up the hill at points. You'd need a car to explore the area, go to the beach or restaurants anywhere.
Also a note to the owner if they see this, I have an amazing drone footage of your property - happy to share it with you for your marketing purposes. I can only post pictures here.FromUS$127
