Cerf Island Resort — Hotel in Cerf Island

A Truly Unique and Magical Experience at Cerf Island Resort, Seychelles||We spent our first anniversary at Cerf Island Resort, and it truly exceeded all expectations, offering a private island experience like no other. Despite some of the less favorable reviews out there, we found the resort to be an absolute gem in the heart of Seychelles.||Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff with refreshing welcome drinks and cool towels, setting the tone for the entire stay. After providing our dinner preferences, we were guided to our hillside villa, which was simply stunning. The villa was spacious and rustic, with an open shower and a bathtub that invited us to relax while surrounded by nature. The large balcony provided perfect views of the lush landscape, offering a sense of peace and privacy that’s hard to find elsewhere.||The resort itself is sprawling, and we enjoyed exploring it via buggy rides. One of the highlights was reaching the highest point on the island, where we were treated to breathtaking panoramic views, especially at sunset—truly a photographer’s dream.||Dinner was an unforgettable experience, with a delightful three-course meal accompanied by live local music. Dining under the stars, with the gentle sound of the waves, felt like a dream come true. The next morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the ocean-view restaurant before heading to the pools for a swim. The resort has several amazing pools that are perfect for relaxing and unwinding. ||We also took advantage of the wide range of activities available, including kayaking and snorkeling. The resort’s beachfront is pristine, and it felt like we had the entire island to ourselves. One of the most special moments of our stay was the private, romantic dinner organized by the resort on the beach—a truly magical experience we will cherish forever.||The next day, we treated ourselves to an authentic massage, which was the perfect way to wind down before our departure. Leaving Cerf Island via the picturesque jetty was bittersweet, but we left with beautiful memories of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.||Cerf Island Resort offers an unparalleled level of tranquility and luxury, nestled in nature, with exceptional service and attention to detail. If you're looking for a truly unique and unforgettable escape, this is the...

Hello guys, My girlfriend booked the Cerf island resort for 9 nights and I reviewed the posts just a day before departure and got mixed feelings.

Here are my experiences from June 2023.

After a short trip from the airport by bus, a tender took us in about 5-10 minutes to the island.

We got a warm welcome and a detailed explanation about the island, food offers, and possible trips.

The villas are built into a steep slope, all quite away from each other. They are spacious and have outside showers.

A shuttle is offered from the main restaurant/lobby to the villas.

A part of the breakfast is buffet (coffee, juice, water, fruits, bread, yoghurt, …) and there is a menu for porridge, omelet, all varieties of eggs, English breakfast and cheese platter. On request, nice gluten-free options are prepared.

Lunch is a la cart and the menu starts with soups, salads, burger, sandwiches and end with pasta, pizza, and steaks.

In the morning, you already choose your a la cart menu for dinner. One soup, two options for appetizer, three options for main (including one vegetarian) and two desert options. Overall, we loved the food.

All staff members were absolutely friendly!

The jungle is quite dense on the island and a sundowner at the helipad is a must. The beach of the resort is short.

There is a sandbank close to the other side of the island and a free boat shuttle is offered three times per week. We really enjoyed it.

Internet only available at the lobby, but the receipting told us it will be changed soon. That’s pity, we enjoyed the Internet free zone in our villa 😀

Recommendable spot to calm down, relaxe and as jump off point to explore the...

A wonderful, relaxed resort. All the employees went out of their way to make sure our stay of 10 nights over new year 2024/5 was as pleasant as possible. Tomasa and Prakash run a smooth, discrete operation and take time to get to know their guests and sure their stay is extra special. Celia, Kenneth, Simon, Hailie and everyone in the restaurant & bar area were very pleasant, helpful and friendly. They really took a pride in offering in the superb service they offered. |Buffet style breakfast and dinner over the busy Xmas & NY period and then a smaller menu selection in the quieter period after NY. Food was good, plentiful and presented with care. Always a choice of 3-4 dishes and as a vegetarian I had no problem with the selection available. |Rooms were excellent, clean and well proportioned. The island is lush and green and it was rainy season whilst we were there with lots of heavy showers but also some beautiful sunshine. We needed lots of mosquito spray. |One of our party accidentally tripped down a step whilst we were there and sprained her ankle, the resort staff couldn’t do enough to help and the wonderful buggy staff did a great job transporting her up and down to her room from the beach/restaurant for a few days, the boat guy took me over to the pharmacy and even waited around for an hour until they opened - thank you all so much. |This is wonderful place to relax, unwind and kick back. I’m sure...
