The best way to explore is by kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP). On the nearby island of Moyenne, a group of Aldabra giant tortoises resides. These friendly animals would love to welcome you to the island.

A delightful change from the serene tranquility of the island.
Hotel Information
Accommodation
JA Enchanted Island Resort has fewer than 15 accommodations and can rightfully be called intimate. All rooms and villas exude a cozy, charming atmosphere and are surrounded by tropical lushness. The ten Private Pool Villas are a popular choice, inspired by Creole influences and decorated with natural materials. A glass sliding door opens from the living room to the terrace with a pool, creating a bright, serene ambiance combined with breathtaking views. Next to the comfortable bedroom with a king-size bed, there is a romantic bathtub on the balcony. If you prefer to stay higher up, the Hilltop Villas are an excellent choice. They do not have a pool but feature a beautiful outdoor bathroom with a freestanding tub. Traveling with friends or a larger family? The Enchanted Signature Villa is the perfect accommodation, with two bedrooms and bathrooms, a spacious living room, a stunning pool, and direct access to the beach.
Restaurants
To ensure an intimate atmosphere on the island and preserve as much of the lush greenery as possible, JA Enchanted Island Resort offers one restaurant and one bar by the pool. At Bounty Restaurant, you can indulge in tailor-made culinary creations inspired by traditional cooking methods. Enjoy authentic Creole Seychellois dishes and discover both local flavors and contemporary international delicacies. In the Castaway Bar, you can embrace the island dream while relaxing with an exotic cocktail, all while enjoying stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Light meals and tasty snacks are also served here. Of course, you can also enjoy In-Villa Dining, such as a floating breakfast in your private pool to start your day peacefully, a delicious lunch on your terrace, or a romantic dinner for two.
Wellness
The spa at JA Enchanted Island Resort is a small, serene oasis where the healing powers of nature come together with a focus on your well-being. Located high on the island, the spa offers breathtaking views of the turquoise waters surrounding the island. Each treatment is inspired by the rich traditions of the Seychelles and enriched with natural ingredients, bringing body and mind into perfect harmony. Whether you choose a rejuvenating massage, a soothing facial, or a moment of meditation in the tranquil environment, the spa promises an experience that restores, refreshes, and deeply connects you with the island's beauty. There are a steam room, shower facilities, and a terrace available.
Swimming pool
