Planning a trip to Seychelles? Looking to travel on a budget? Yes, you can visit the Seychelles even if you don’t quite want to splurge on one of the luxury resort properties! You can stay at a Seychelles Airbnb to save a little money on lodging costs. I’m sharing some of the most amazing airbnbs I considered for my trip. There are so many unique and simply stunning vacation homes in the Seychelles.

Best Seychelles Airbnbs
I’m breaking down the best Seychelles airbnbs by the three main islands: Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue. I share more details on each in my full Seychelles Honeymoon blog post, but here’s the gist. Mahé is the main island with airport, tons of hotels, beaches, national parks, and plenty to see and do. Praslin the second largest island known for Vallée de Mai (palm tree nature preserve). La Digue is the smallest island that doesn’t even have cars (except for work trucks). It is very quaint, but known for the most famous beach Anse Source d’Argent and the giant tortoises.
If you are traveling on a budget, I highly recommend an airbnb in Seychelles to not only save on lodging costs, but allow you a fully stocked kitchen to buy your own groceries.
Mahé Airbnbs
Mahé is the main island you will fly into to reach the Seychelles. It’s the most populated island home to the capital, Victoria. You will find the most to see and do here, but also the most people. Beau Vallon, Eden Island, Anse Royale, and Grande Anse are the most popular beaches and areas to stay.
Sea Monkey Luxurious Villa by the Sea – Anse Machabee
You will fall in love with Sea Monkey! This luxury Seychelles Airbnb is to die for. It is perched atop the massive boulders the islands are known for at the northern tip of Mahe. It has an infinity pool looking toward the Indian Ocean, beach access, four bedrooms, and spacious living spaces. You will love the earthy tones, trendy decor, big glass windows, and unbelievable sunset views.
Beachfront Apartments – Pineapple Beach
The apartments at this villa are amazing. They are well decorated in trendy furnishings and located steps from the beach. The spacious villas have king bedrooms, large bathrooms with double vanities, and a full kitchen that opens to a balcony. The reviews are comparing this place to a “5-star resort”.
Healing Island Chalets – Anse Royale
The Healing Island Chalet’s are tucked in the trees only 300 meter from the beach. The views from the tree top suites and infinity pool are unbelievable. Rent one unit and enjoy the shared spaces with other guests. Or if you are traveling with a group, book the whole compound for your family and friends to enjoy.
Waterfront Condo – Eden Island
Eden Island is a great location for the Seychelles. It’s built around a marina with gyms, tennis court, and running paths to enjoy all the amenities of apartment life. This pristine condo sleeps 4 with a king bed in one room and twins in the second room. You will love the well stocked kitchen with granite countertops, large master bed and bath with balcony, and of course, marina views.
7 Bedroom Villa – Eden Island
If you are traveling with friends or family, check out this spacious villa located on Eden Island. It features 7 bedrooms, 5 baths, 2 kitchens, and large living area so everyone is comfortable. There is even a golf cart available so can get around easily. My favorite part is the infinity pool that leads right onto the beach only steps away.
Yarrabee House – Glacis
Yarrabee House has some of the top reviews of Seychelles Airbnbs. It is perched on the granite rocks overlooking the sea. You will be a five minute drive to the famous Beau Vallon Beach and have a small beach only 100m away with great swimming/snorkeling.
It has three bedrooms and spacious living areas so you can focus on family time. There’s also an outdoor shower so you can enjoy nature. Plus, the sunset views here will be incredible!
VI Miles Lodge Romantic Chalet – Machabee
An amazing little chalet on the northern end of Mahé. Wake up to the ocean views from the spacious porch at this home set high on a hill. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic getaway, honeymoon, or for a family with small children.
Praslin Airbnbs
Praslin is the second largest of the main islands in Seychelles. There is an airport so it’s easy to reach by land or sea. It’s known for its incredible beaches like Anse Lazio, Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, and the giant coco de mer!
Beach Villa – Anse Kerlan
This villa is what Seychelles dreams are made of. It sits right on the beach with your own private space just steps from your infinity pool. It has 3 bedrooms, a super sleek kitchen, dining area and expansive patio. I love that the bedrooms open up onto the patio with big doors so you can see the ocean from bed!
Black Widow Beach Hut – Anse St Sauveur
Anse St Sauveur is a very quiet part of the island and these fabulous beach huts are located just meters away. La Pointe Beach Huts are a collection of 5 individual villas on one complex. This beach hut has the perfect low key vibe with outdoor shower and even and open air kitchen and living room! Everything is centered around the pool balcony – where you will spend all of your time anyways.
Hummingbird Beach Hut
Similar to the last property, this is located on the same complex. It has many of the same features. If you have a group, you could all rent the whole complex and make it your own neighborhood for the week.
La Digue Airbnbs
La Digue is the smallest of the main Seychelles islands, but it might be the very best place to stay in an airbnb. It only has a couple small hotels, so most of the options are “self catering” homes and apartments. There’s several cute restaurants, shops, wildlife, and some of the most stunning beaches you will ever see. Plan to bike everywhere as there are no cars on the island! La Digue will feel very unique, intimate, and like you have the place to yourself!
Granite Self Catering Holiday House
I love this option on La Digue for its rustic look with beautiful wood work. You will be centered conveniently near the main part of town and Anse Severe. The reviews talk about how amazing and caring the hosts are and the fully stocked kitchen so you can cook your own meals. If you aren’t into cooking, the hosts will prepare authentic creole meals for you at an added cost!
Emerald Villa – La Reunion
This 4 bed, 4 bath villa is located beach front with pool, children’s playground, and optional private chef! You will be in walking distance to the famous Anse Source d’Argent, shops, and bicycle rentals.
Ambiance Villa
This 3 bed/3 bath villa is decorated to reflect the island’s unique creole vibe with woods and earthy tones. It’s located near the entrance to L’Union Estate so you have easy access to some of the best things to do on La Digue, but still feel secluded.
The Garden Villa
The Garden Villa is a great option for families. There is plenty of room to spread out plus they offer a crib if traveling with a baby. The villa is updated with modern touches and has everything you need to feel right at home.
