Fregate Island Vacations from $1,337

Kempinski Seychelles Resort is a serene, upscale retreat with excellent service and spacious rooms, though small lizards occasionally appear from the A/C vents (a tropical island kinda expected), and the beach bay while scenic, it is rocky, full of seaweed, and too rough for swimming most days, especially during the windy season starting late May, over our 6-day stay, we only managed two swims.

We really enjoyed our stay at this quite grand colonial style villa. Our room (the master bedroom) was large and airy, nicely furnished with a huge bathroom. The bed was comfy and the walk in wardrobe made keeping things tidy a breeze. We were well looked after by the hosts and their on site assistant, Alam. He was always around to get drinks or beach towels, umbrella's etc and keep the villa clean and tidy. The villa is up a steep access road (which is not uncommon on the island due to the local topography)and about a mile out of Beau Vallon which means a car is pretty much essential to get to the fabulous beaches and local eateries. However, the access road & parking could be considered to be somewhat challenging unless you are a confident driver. We enjoyed the breakfasts which consisted of a platter of varied fresh fruit, eggs of your choice and pancakes obviously prepared with care. Alternative options were offered as well. The hosts also offered a 3 course evening meal option Unfortunately this was not available every for night of our stay. The food was excellent and, although we initially thought it seemed expensive, it turned out to be be good value in comparison with the better local restaurants. We found the Villa a peaceful, comfortable and relaxing place to stay. It's not perfect by any means, but you'd have to be pretty picky to find much to complain about and it was a more personal & comfortable experience than the standard hotel offerings.

Amazing property! Amazing staff! Everything was perfect! We stayed in the pool villa and it was wonderful. We did not want to leave! The small beaches on the property were beautiful. Would definitely stay here again! They were on top of everything and so accommodating! Amazing!
