The Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Resort and Casino occupies a spot on Beau Vallon Bay, the most sociable beach on Mahé, on the northwest coast. It is a full-service resort rather than a boutique retreat, with Standard, Superior and Deluxe rooms, several dining options from upscale restaurants to casual venues, a casino with slots and table games, a lawn and pool deck used for events and weddings, and easy access to the diving and water sports operators on the beach. It is the mid-range pick for visitors who want facilities, evening entertainment and a convenient base on Mahe.
Location and getting around: Beau Vallon is a short drive over the hill from Victoria and a little further from the international airport, and the beach itself runs for a couple of kilometres with restaurants, bars and activity operators along it. You can walk to dinner, take a sunset stroll and book a Sainte Anne Marine Park trip or a Mahe island tour from the hotel. Taxis and hire cars are the easiest way to reach other parts of the island, and public buses also serve the area. Anse Intendance and the southern beaches take a half-day trip.
Rooms and facilities: choose between Standard, Superior and Deluxe rooms depending on views and budget, and ask for a quieter room if you are sensitive to noise from event spaces or the casino. The resort offers several restaurants and bars, a casino and function spaces, and the beach is on the doorstep. Check the property for current details of pools, spa services and child-friendly facilities, since these can change.
Good to know: Beau Vallon is calmest for swimming during the south-east trade winds from about May to October and can be rougher from about December to March. Breakfast arrangements vary by rate, so check what is included. It suits first-time visitors, families and groups who like a lively beach scene, and it is less suited to guests who want a silent, secluded retreat, who may prefer Petite Anse or La Digue. Rates are mid-range for Seychelles and rise in peak seasons, so book ahead for Christmas and school holidays.
