sweet deal. What to pick: one of the superior rooms that are dotted on a forest-clad hill-
side or a deluxe room, which marries modern and Creole design influences. What to
avoid: a smallish, utilitarian standard room. Facilities include a pool and a restaurant.
BOUTIQUE HOTEL €€€
Le Repaire
OFFLINE MAP
( www.lerepaireseychelles.com ; La Passe; d incl breakfast €190-230; ) This nearly-but-not-quite
boutique hotel will appeal to design-savvy travellers, with stylish furniture, soothing
tones, a lovely garden and a spiffing seaside location (but the shore is no good for swim-
ming). Be sure to score a sea-facing Superior room, rather than a darker standard room.
L'Océan Hotel
OFFLINE MAP
HOTEL €€€
( 4234180; www.hotelocean.info ; Anse Patates; s/d incl breakfast €165/200; ) A safe bet, with an
oceanfront location. The hotel's total capacity is eight, making it wonderfully intimate.
Every bedroom boasts stupendous views of the sea and is decorated with driftwood, shells
and paintings by local artist George Camille. Hint: aim for the Petite Sœur and Grande
Sœur rooms. There's no beach but snorkelling is excellent just offshore. There's an onsite
restaurant. For the price you'd expect wi-fi.
Domaine de L'Orangeraie
Resort & Spa
OFFLINE MAP
( 4299999; www.orangeraie.sc ; Anse Sévère; d incl breakfast from €300; ) Tropical luxury at its
best. Dramatically deployed on hilly grounds in a sea of spruce greenery, Domaine de
L'Orangeraie feels like heaven. No expense has been spared in dousing guests in sassy
swank - creatively landscaped grounds, natural materials and high-class amenities (in-
cluding a superb spa and two restaurants). Each villa is furnished in muted earth tones
with subtle Asian accents. Step inside and let the Zen-like tranquillity envelop you. One
weak point: the artificial beach, next to the restaurant, is nothing special.
