  A wonderful, peaceful, and relaxing vacation.

  08 Feb 2026

  A beautiful property. Anyone looking for seclusion and privacy will find it here.The staff is very attentive and exceptionally friendly. Requests are fulfilled immediately.On weekends, especially on Sundays, there are many day trips with boats in the area. Loud music can be heard until after sunset. During weekdays, however, it was very quiet.If one wishes to criticize, one really has to search very carefully for flaws. You quickly become accustomed to the excellent service and the friendliness of the staff. Perhaps for this reason, we noticed that on the day we had paid for a late check-out, there was no further room service provided (bath towels, towels, drinking water).During dinner, the smoking area could be adjusted according to the wind direction so that the smoke does not spread across the entire restaurant. However, there were so few guests on site that this disturbance occurred only once during dinner and once at breakfast.If you look for criticism, you will always find something. Therefore, I would like to emphasize that as a couple, we found exactly what we were looking for in this hotel: peace, privacy, relaxation, a wonderful beach, and giant tortoises.A big thank you to the entire team for a truly wonderful vacation! Burak Aydin, General Manager at Enchanted Island Resort, responded to this review Dear 567Gehtd,Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your stay at JA Enchanted Island Resort. We’re delighted you found exactly what you were looking for — peace, privacy, relaxation, a beautiful beach, and of course our giant tortoises.We also truly appreciate your constructive remarks:Weekend boat activity / music: We understand how important tranquility is on the island. While we cannot fully control passing boat traffic on weekends, we do raise concerns with operators when needed and we will continue to do our best to protect the serene atmosphere our guests come for.Late check-out service: I’m sorry to hear that towels and drinking water were not replenished on the day of your late check-out. This is not the standard we aim for. We’ve shared this with our housekeeping team to ensure late check-out rooms receive the same attention and replenishment until departure.Smoking area and wind direction: Thank you for this practical suggestion. We will review our seating and smoking-area positioning so we can better adapt depending on wind conditions and ensure maximum comfort for all guests.On behalf of the entire team, thank you again for your kind words and for recognizing the attentiveness and friendliness of our colleagues. We would be very happy to welcome you back for another peaceful getaway.Kind regards,Burak AydinGeneral ManagerJA Enchanted Island Resort, Seychelles

  JA Enchanted

  24 Dec 2025

  Our stay at JA Enchanted Island Resort, Round Island, Mahé was truly magical. From the moment we arrived, we experienced warm and attentive hospitality.The villas are beautiful, private, and perfectly suited for a romantic honeymoon, with stunning ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere. The food and overall ambiance truly lived up to the name “Enchanted.”A special heartfelt thanks to Irshad Khan for his exceptional service, professionalism, and genuine care throughout our stay. His hospitality made our experience even more memorable.One small area for improvement: there were quite a few mosquitoes in and around the villa, which slightly affected our comfort. We hope the management can look into better mosquito control to enhance the guest experience further.Overall, a wonderful and unforgettable stay, and highly recommended for couples seeking luxury and tranquility. Burak Aydin, General Manager at Enchanted Island Resort, responded to this review Dear 918sahila,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words about your stay at JA Enchanted Island Resort.We are delighted to read that you found your stay truly magical and that the privacy, tranquillity, and romantic atmosphere of the island made it a memorable honeymoon experience. It is especially rewarding to know that our team’s hospitality stood out to you. Your heartfelt mention of Irshad Khan has been shared with him and the team, and it will certainly mean a great deal to him.We also appreciate your constructive feedback regarding mosquitoes. Being a natural, tropical island within a marine park, this is an ongoing challenge, and we continuously work with our pest-control partners to minimise any impact on guest comfort. Your comments help us further refine these efforts.Thank you once again for your recommendation and for choosing Enchanted Island Resort. We truly hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future for another peaceful and enchanting escape.Warm regards,Burak AydinGeneral ManagerJA Enchanted Island Resort

  Total exclusivity an a perfect island in a perfect location

  18 Nov 2025

  Well, we had an amazing 2 weeks, just what we wanted ... Total relaxation! We couldn't really couldn't fault it. A very small island, with only 13 rooms, this means there is also a small "intimate" staff team, that you get to know and they get to know you (and REALLY look after you). With two weeks eating in the same restaurant (apart from lunch on a few days out) You would think you might get board with the menu, but you just don't! it is varied and wide, (and we don't eat meat!!) and nothing is too much trouble to change if you ask Go half board, that's our advice! Location is just out of this world, we sent a picture of our view from our window home to family, and people in the UK thought it was AI generated! The hotel is in the middle of the Seychelles National Marine park, we were on the West side, which we think is the best to stay, but, as all beaches are public, the West side can be slightly well visited on Saturdays and Sundays. As with other private islands we have visited, you are pleasantly "captive" and so food and drink extras are expensive, but you have to understand that they have supply challenges, and if you can afford to stay.... You can afford to pay!! There is a very limited little gift shop which we think takes prices to a whole new level, but you don't have to shop there, Victoria is only 20 mins by boat and taxi and a great town to shop and eat. Take a Kayak to Moyenne for a walk and lunch (Kayaks are free at the hotel... Pre book to be sure they are available!If you are looking for total relaxation, or a few days experiencing island life, this is a lovely place.It has a gym, which we used most days, very small, but then with only 13 rooms your chances of sharing it with somebody else are very slim !!And from the Manager all the way through, management, reception, restaurant staff, room service, pool staff, gardeners, Boat crews, .....ALL the staff were lovely to us!PS ....If you get the chance go to the spa..... We tried it all too late! It was a great massage Burak Aydin, General Manager at Enchanted Island Resort, responded to this review Dear 260adrians,Thank you so much for this wonderful and incredibly detailed review – it truly means a lot to all of us on Enchanted Island.We’re delighted to hear that your two-week stay was exactly what you were looking for: total relaxation on our little island. With only 13 villas, the atmosphere is indeed very intimate, and it’s lovely to read that you felt genuinely looked after by the whole team and got to know them by name. I will be sharing your comments with everyone from our restaurant and reception teams to housekeeping, gardeners and boat crews – recognition like this is the best reward for their efforts.I’m especially pleased that you enjoyed the food over such a long stay, and that you never grew bored of the menu, even as non-meat eaters. Our chefs will be thrilled to hear that the variety, flexibility and half-board experience worked so well for you.You describe our location in the Sainte Anne Marine Park beautifully – “people at home thought it was AI generated” really made us smile. You are right that the west side has a very special view, and also correct that as all beaches in Seychelles are public, weekends can be a little livelier with local visitors. We’re glad this didn’t detract from your enjoyment.We also appreciate your balanced comments regarding pricing and the “pleasantly captive” feeling of a private island. As you pointed out, logistics and supply do make things more costly than on Mahé, and we are grateful for your understanding. Your note about the small boutique is also taken on board – and your tip about Victoria as an alternative is spot on.It’s great to know you made the most of the kayaks, the gym and, even if a little late, the spa as well – we often hear “we wish we’d tried it earlier”, so you are not alone there!Thank you again for choosing to spend your holiday with us, and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We hope we will have the pleasure of welcoming you back for more island life and relaxation in the future.Warm regards,Burak AydinGeneral ManagerJA Enchanted Island Resort
