JA Enchanted Island Resort

Eleven months ago, I was at this resort. From the very first moment, I knew it was the right place, as I had an experience unlike any I had ever had before I spent three days there, and they were the best days of my life. The resort is absolutely beautiful, and the staff are incredibly kind and always smiling. I felt as if I were at home. I booked a room with a private pool and a private beach — it was absolutely beautiful. The furniture was vintage, giving the whole place an old-world charm. It felt like something straight out of a Hollywood movie. On my last day outside the resort, I unfortunately suffered a fracture. Honestly, I felt like the resort staff were family — they reached out to me and showed incredible care and concern. I will never forget that gesture for the rest of my life.

I absolutely loved my stay on this mini island. The view from our villa was out of this world. The antique decor of the room and hotel in general fit the island perfectly. The outdoor bathroom is unique touch and when I wanted blinds fitted for privacy, they did so. All the staff were gems and we were happy to see them whenever we did. Bowen and Jenish were the first we saw and made the check-in process go smoothly, we saw them the most during our stay and they surely will be missed. At the restaurant, we saw Sheryl and David who were both very patient and generous with us. They always were in bubbly moods which was great to see. Whenever we saw Benny, we had exciting conversations and we felt special as he always gave us his time. My wife really enjoyed her dinners here and highly rates the meals she had here in comparison to other 5 star resorts we’ve stayed at. The only small issue was the width of the sockets not being enough for our plug heads. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and 100% recommend the resort.

Everything was amazing. Staff was so helpful and kind. They were so ready and helpful whenever we need it. Villa was cleaned every day. They even come and bring extra towels and water in the evening without asking. Deepak and Bhuwan we extremely thank you for making our stay unforgettable. The WhatsApp group idea was amazing and easy way to communicate with the staff. You’re at the beach and you need beer!? No problem just text the group and you will be served.

We wanted to find a resort to escape the world for a few days, one that gave us privacy with our own pool and yet personal attention that ensured we could do nothing more than unwind and relax - JA Enchanted Island didn't disappoint!||Transfer from Mahe by boat to the Island was excellent. The Villa's and the view from them is breathtakingly beautiful and yet each villa is afforded total privacy from the others. Considering the bathrooms are all outside its a good thing! ||The Villa's are spacious and comfortable, the beds are huge and linen clean and luxurious.||We would say the best feature of all is the team, they really couldn't do enough for us and were super attentive at breakfast and dinner. David's cocktails at the sundowner were epic!||There are a couple of minor issues that didn't spoil our time at this wonderful resort but worth mentioning. ||The Seychelles government rightfully have declared all beaches public, we like the fact no beach is owned by a hotel and Seychellois can enjoy them as much as the tourists. This did mean the beaches below the villa's can be busy with day-trippers from Mahe. A couple of times the music coming from the beach was a little unreasonable and the waft of BBQ smoke drifting around our villa not ideal. ||Second point was there was a mix up in communicating allergies to the Chef which Neeraj did try his very best to fix, but only got GF bread on the last day. Overall the standard of food was acceptable, but didn't stand up to some of the other hotels we stayed in Mahe.

It is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful island location. We stayed there for three nights. The room with a private pool and beach was magical (although a tiny bit of upkeep work could have improved it). The breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurant was okay, and the food was only OK. It's worth mentioning that the food and drinks were pretty expensive. The spa was nice, but nothing extraordinary. The hotel is tiny and secluded, so it’s best to stay up to half a week. The service was not good enough. Although the team was terrific during our stay, the management made a few mistakes and was not generous or thoughtful enough to try and help us feel better about it. The most impressive aspect is the location and the beaches surrounding it, which are absolutely stunning.

Heaven on Earth. This small island resort truly has character. It doesn’t feel like one of those massive all-inclusive places—instead, it’s personal, peaceful, and full of charm. I genuinely had the time of my life here. The food could use some improvement, but honestly, I couldn’t bring myself to rate it lower because of the amazing staff. They were quick, incredibly kind, and genuinely made us feel at home—and we’re not exactly easy to please. Their warmth and hospitality really stood out. While I definitely recommend exploring the bigger islands too, this little spot will always have a special place in my heart!

Our stay at JA Enchanted Island was a delightful escape. The warm welcome set the tone, and the boat ride to this small, round island—home to just 10 villas and 2 rooms (we snagged one of the rooms)—felt like a special adventure. The supernice sandbank next to the island was a highlight, perfect for soaking in the serene surroundings. Breakfast was a bit limited, offering the basics without much flair, while dinner was decent. The room was clean and comfortable, fitting the intimate, exclusive vibe of this tiny paradise. It’s a lovely spot for a quiet, unique getaway!||||more about sandbank||other Seychelles resorts
