About Villa La Cachette
Villa La Cachette is a self-catering guesthouse situated in Bel Ombre on the northwestern coast of Mahé, the largest island in the Seychelles. The property sits roughly 500 metres from Beau Vallon beach, one of the most accessible swimming bays on the island, and close to the trailheads for the Anse Major and Mare aux Cochons hiking routes. Guests typically combine beach time with walking excursions, with the surrounding area offering a mix of coastline, forested hills and small local amenities.

The guesthouse is well positioned for independent travellers who want to explore Mahé without relying solely on taxis. The nearest bus stop is approximately a two-minute walk from the property, providing connections along the northern coast. The capital, Victoria, is around a 15-minute drive away, and the Inter Island Quay, where ferries depart for Praslin and La Digue, can be reached in roughly 25 minutes by car.
