Our stay at JA Enchanted Island Resort was truly memorable. From the fantastic welcome during the boat transfer to the smooth check-out, everything was handled with great care. We were warmly greeted by Bhuwan, who provided all the information we needed for our stay and made us feel very welcome.

Our villa was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully designed, offering the perfect space to relax. The resort provides snorkeling gear and kayaks for guests, which made exploring the stunning turquoise waters even more enjoyable. The sandbank beach at low tide was such a magical experience, being able to walk to the next island by foot truly made this place feel like a piece of paradise.

However, I was quite disappointed with my birthday dinner. The seafood mixed grill was unfortunately overcooked and inedible, which really spoiled what was meant to be a special celebration. While I appreciated that the team didn’t charge for the dish, it was disheartening, especially given the island setting where you’d expect fresh, perfectly prepared seafood.

That said, I want to give special thanks to Irshad Khan, Sheryl, and the lovely housekeeping lady who decorated our villa on my birthday their exceptional service and kindness made the stay extra special despite the dining issue.

Overall, it’s a beautiful resort and a wonderful experience, with just one unfortunate hiccup during our visit.

JA Enchanted Island Resort Seychelles is a serene, romantic escape with private villas, exceptional service, and one of the nicest beaches in the region—though it's not private, so expect company, especially on weekends—with added charm from its great snorkeling, kayaking, and easy access to other nearby islands, despite occasional service lapses, mosquitoes, and high prices that don’t always match 5-star expectations.

Our time on the island was as enchanting as the name of the hotel. Location, staff and service, the quality of the food and drink, the feel of the resort and the tranquility of the property were perfect.
We spent most of our time on the island and in our room and we always had the feeling that we were well taken care of and all our requests were heard and fulfilled with genuine consideration and care. The massages at the property were 5star and were delivered amongst the beautiful nature of the island. The beaches were like a postcard - clean and beautiful. Easy and flexible travel between the island and the mainland. The property was really clean and staff were always busy and attentive.

You will never regret choosing this hotel. You will feel all the Seychelles vibes, whilst feeling safe and taken care of.

The island is wonderful, everyone is friendly, the villas are neat, clean, the food in restaurant is very expensive. Lack of animation, the open bar on the beach is closed, there is no waiter. No type of entertainment is offered within the hotel. The first two days are pleasant silence and peace, but already on the third day it lacks a little liveliness. Mosquitoes are a separate story. If someone is coming, let them provide themselves with the best protection against mosquitoes. You must visit the nearby Moyene island with its turtles.

This is our second visit to Seychelles, and we had a great experience during the first time both accommodation and food wise, therefore, we decided to go back again after few years.
This hotel was okay, but not a 5-star standard for sure, and it is overly priced. Property is old, however well maintained. The quality of food could have been definitely better since we know the food quality & taste of Seychelles based on our past experience. If you are a food lover and looking forward for a tasty food at this property, then you will be disappointed big time.
Since it is a tropical island, be aware of the insects & lizards, around the property and sometimes inside the villa too.
We liked the concept of open shower and washroom facility, it was completely different than any other hotels, and makes it feel unique and exciting.
They have very small portion of beach area in the island, however its very noisy and busy with tourists and local crowds and boats, the beaches are open to public and not private.
Overall, we had okay experience. This place is not meant for the longer stays, 2-3 nights would be more than sufficient. Longer stay would be very boring, there is nothing much to do in the island, plus its overpriced and very noisy, especially during the weekends.

We kicked off our honeymoon in Seychelles by staying here for our first night and we're so happy we did! The boat ride to get to the island is a breeze, and the staff is very helpful and kind from the second you get on the boat until your departure. We soaked in some of the most beautiful sights of our life when walking around the sandbars around the island - We knew it was a great spot when tour boats were anchoring nearby!

The food did not disappoint, and neither did the drinks. Rooms are very spacious and most have access to the beach directly from the room. About as romantic as it gets out here.

It is not worth the money: we paid 1700€ for 2nights incl. breakfast

Pros:
- villa with private piscine
- the surrending area is very beautiful
- nice staff

Cons:
- old style
- no attention to details and definitely not 5stars standard ( tin roof, wooden deck needs maintenance, etc)
- Gym lacking equipment and cleaniness
- the beach is public and noisy between 12:00 and 16:00
- you have to pay extra ( 30€ per person) for the boat transfer if not at 10:00 or 16:00

The privacy that the individual Villas offer was ,for us ,the wow factor here . The views from our villa and its lovely infinity pool were sublime . The Raised decked area with table and comfy chairs and sunloungers was much appreciated while we had tea and coffee from the complimentary in room kettle and nespresso equipment .

Access to the sea was via our easy to negotiate garden pathway and led to very shallow bay with typical Seychelles white sand ,volcanic boulders and stunning views of ocean and adjacent islands .

The bathroom was amazing , shower and bath outside and totally concealed for privacy . Interior double sink and walk in closet area perfectly appointed .

Aircon was silent and very effective . Room was spotless .

We can only speak from our experience and the Villa we stayed in which was called Bambou . So , with this in mind , the privacy was total , access to the sea extremely easy and also to the property from reception .

The breakfast is non buffet but the waiting on staff will provide as much as you want from the menu and in what way you want it . The same applies to the Lunch and Dinner offerings . This is all done with a genuine smile, politeness & efficiency .

The Hotel staff are a real asset here and a happy team . We could see that Burak (manager) led them by example and his informal,kind efficient manner had rubbed off .

If you are looking for a little bit of Nirvana then don't hesitate to book this hotel .

Beautiful island with excellent staff. One restaurant provides good quality food with enough choices to stretch several days! Complaint is that future request are not well maintained. We inquired about a vowel renewal at 10-11am and it was scheduled for 1pm. They did change it to 11. We requested a room with an obstructed view 6 months in advance and we got the worst view. However the beach access from our villa was excellent. Staff was so very helpful and attentive. Thank you for the great experience!

Beautiful island adventure escape

Beautiful villas with stunning views across the marine park. Food was a bit slow but delicious- with an incredible choice for breakfast. Service very good but insistent checking that you’re satisfied with the service can get a bit annoying.
So much of the marine park to explore by kayak and snorkel around- so if this is something you enjoy there is plenty activity to keep you torn between exploring and lying by your beautiful pool.

True Paradise!!!

When we arrived at the island jetty the general manager Borak greeted us and checked us in. (The island is private and has only 10 villas, all private and with their own infinity pool.) To say it is a villa is definitely an understatement as it consisted of two buildings, the “salon” which was a two story building with a living and dining area and a half bath on the first floor and a king bedroom suite with full bath on the second floor. The second building was the “master suite” which consisted of a bedroom and sitting area, a walk in closet, his and her vanity sinks, and an outside shower and toilet area on the deck overlooking the ocean. In front of the buildings is the pool area with an infinity pool and sundeck with two staircases leading down to the private beach. The living areas are beyond luxurious and it was like nothing I have ever experienced before. The restaurant was exceptional with the geared towards seafood but there are meat, chicken, and vegetarian. The island is located in a marine park but it was busy with boat traffic so the snorkeling was just OK. (Hire an excursion!) We did kayak across the channel to Moyenne Island to see the giant tortoises which was excellent. Overall, this was far and away the nicest accommodation we have ever experienced. The level of service and luxury were top notch and I would be hard pressed to find any complaints!

Nice quiet hotel perfect for honeymoon

The hotel was really peaceful and lovely. It's a perfect honeymoon spot. The staff are very friendly and willing to help. The rooms are spacious and you get your own private pool and beach access. The only downside is they need a more extensive food menu and they should offer more complimentary boat trips as there isn't much to do at the resort. Apart from that, it's absolutely wonderful and would do it again

Peace and Quiet

A friendly welcome to a small out island, peaceful, great beach area below each villa in privacy. Good menu but after 6 days you started to become used to what was available. The staff were fantastic, they could not be more friendly. Little to do but there was a free speedboat ride to Mahe every day at 10 45 with a return at 17 15. The half board we booked was subject to a 55 euro limit with the balance to your account. Maybe 4 days would be the perfect time here but the staff made it all worthwhile.

Im wunderschönen St. Anne Marine Park gelegen, hat man eine traumhafte Aussicht auf türkises Meer und palmenbewachsene Inseln. Das Highlight ist die Sandbank, auf der man zur Long Island spazieren kann. Toll ist auch das Angebot kostenlos Kajaks zu mieten. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, allerdings eher etwas dunkel und zum Teil schon etwas abgenutzt. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und stets bemüht. Das Essen war grundsätzlich lecker mit großen Portionen, gerade beim Frühstück hätten wir uns aber noch eine etwas größere Auswahl auch an Brotware gewünscht.

El hotel es muy bonito y romantico. Ubicado en un entorno ideal. Para pasar 2 dias y no mas ya que es pequeño y tiene pocas opciones de que hacer. La restauración deberian mejorarla por ser un 5 estrellas son lentos y no es cocina top. Las habitaciones son muy bonitas pero antiguas.

Otelin lokasyonu ve manzarasi super. Otel muduru ve calisanlar cok ilgili. Deniz genelde sığ ve yosunlu, Seyseller’de yuzulebilecek daha guzel yerler var. Otelin cevresine tekneyle gelen kisiler yuzunden bir gece muzikten zor uyuduk. Yemekleri de daha lezzetli olabilirdi.

Villa was clean and access to the beach was superb. Island has a cool jungle wibe. Compliments to the chef. Food was great. We had a fullboard package so we were eating all the time😅. Missus took a massage from the spa and said that it was worth every penny. I think we will be back.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr klein und damit ruhig. Die Wege auf der Insel sind schön gepflegt und die Insel ist schön grün bewachsen. Der Ausblick auf das türkise Wasser ist traumhaft schön und unserer Meinung nach der größte Vorteil am Hotel. Der Pool am Resaurant hat einen sehr schönen Ausblick und ist gut gepflegt.
Vom Service ist das Hotel kein 5 Sterne Hotel. Auf dem Zimmer wurden die Handtücher täglich getauscht, es haben aber (außer bei Ankunft) immer Teile gefehlt. Einmal waren von den eig. 6 Handtüchern nur noch 3 da. Eine leere Flasche Sekt, die es zur Ankunft gab wurde 2 Tage lang nicht abgeholt. Toilettenpapier wurde nicht nachgefüllt und die Gläser an der Minibar waren teilweise dreckig. Die benutzten Sektgläser vom ersten Tag wurden beispielsweise nach 2,5 Tagen einfach zurück in den Schrank gestellt (ungewaschen).
Wir hatten während unseres Aufenthalts leider tagsüber immer Flut, dadurch gab es kaum Strand, ein Pool-Zimmer wäre damit eine bessere Wahl gewesen.
Insgesamt lässt sich damit sagen, dass das Hotel ganz gut ist aber Preis-Leistung nicht passt.
