Take advantage of recreation opportunities such as an outdoor pool or take in the view from a terrace and a garden. This hotel also features complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services and babysitting (surcharge).

I've stayed here many many times during last 10 years. Coral Strand is the most preferable choice for me due to friendliness of stuff, reasonable prices for accomadation and restaurants, the best location in Beau Vallon. After renovation in 2025 the hotel is approaching to a 5-star level in my opinion. Highly recomended!
Nice Hotel in nice area. Room was modern and clean. Breakfast and dinner were rich and delicious. They give you towels daily for the pool + beach. Given the prices in Seychelles, they offer really good value for money. Rooms could use a little bit more storage space, but we managed.
Management at this hotel is obviously doing an incredible job, making this overall a seamless and pleasant experience. I’ve never stayed at a hotel where I thought this often how well managed it is. Staff are wonderful throughout! The rooms, while slightly on the small side, are bright and comfortable, very well fit out, have nice ocean views and a small balcony. The main restaurant could do with a design upgrade and is letting the place down a bit at the rate you pay. But there’s still nothing wrong with it and apart from that I found this there’s really very little to fault.
Also: even if you don’t stay here - absolutely do yourself a huge favour and eat at the Indian restaurant Mahek!!! I went there twice in only four days, it is THAT good! And while Pushka was a standout, all staff are wonderful!
Oh and because I read about it in several reviews: yes there was a function here while I stayed. And yes, there was music and celebrations. We were notified by the hotel in advance and honestly, it didn’t bother me. It was in the main restaurant in a corner of the hotel. Music was turned down well before I went to bed and I don’t even remember hearing anything in my room at all.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Coral Strand. We really appreciate the excellent services as well as the room comfort (Ocean view). A wide range of food at breakfast and dinner. The reception staff was polite and professional. At the breakfast/restaurant a special thank to Danushka for the high level of assistance. However all the staff at the restaurant were very kind and always smiling, Thank you very much
We had a wonderful stay at Coral Strand Hotel in the Seychelles and were genuinely very happy with every aspect of our experience.
The location is simply fantastic, right at the beautiful Beau Vallon Beach. Being able to walk directly from the hotel onto the beach and enjoy the sea whenever we wanted was one of the highlights of our stay. The hotel also has a lovely pool area, which was a great alternative when we wanted to relax away from the beach.
The hotel has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere but is lively at the same time.
Our room was beautifully renovated, comfortable and clean, and we were very happy with the hygiene and cleanliness throughout the hotel.
We really appreciated the variety of restaurants available at the hotel. Having several choices made it easy to enjoy different cuisines throughout our stay.
The service in general was very friendly and professional, but there are three people we especially want to thank because they made our stay truly special.
A very special thank you to Ruby. She was always there whenever we needed help with administrative matters and, most importantly, she always went above and beyond to find a solution. Her kindness, patience and willingness to assist us made such a difference, and we are very grateful to her.
A heartfelt thank you to Pushpa, our lovely waitress. Every time we saw her, she welcomed us with a smile, professionalism and such warmth. Her kindness made our breakfasts and meals even more enjoyable. She is a truly wonderful person and someone we will remember with great affection.
And last, but certainly not least, a special thank you to Chef Mohit, who was incredibly kind and thoughtful. During breakfast, he kindly gave us freshly cut fruit and made sure my eggs were cooked a little longer after I mentioned that I had been feeling sick the night before. It was a small gesture, but it showed such genuine care and attention. Those are exactly the little details that stay with you.
We truly enjoyed our stay and felt that we received very good value for what we experienced. But more than anything, Ruby, Pushpa and Mohit made our stay unforgettable. Their kindness, warmth and personal attention turned a very nice holiday into a very special one. Thank you very much.
