Habitation, Cerf Island, Seychelles:Situated on one of the Marine National Park islands surrounding Mahé, this charming hotel for max. 24 guests was originally designed as a plantation house. It's only 5 kms by boat to Victoria, but it seems to be a world away. The excellent location makes L'Habitation more than just an interesting alternative to staying on Mahé (not recommended during SE winds period, though).Opened in 2001, L'Habitation Cerf has recently been chosen by the The Sunday Time Travel Magazine of being the 1st of the 6 best hotels in the Indian Ocean and considered a "paradise for less than £100 per night" and "as cheap as chic". Details about this here. The relatively small (1,7 x 0,9 km) island of Cerf offers many beautiful bays and cays, full of tropical vegetation.
