Enchanted Waterfront Residences & Marina, Mahe, Seychelles
A limited number of luxurious and spacious freehold waterfront pool residences for sale at the Enchanted Waterfront Residences & Marina, a boutique 5* development in Mahé, Seychelles.
Located just 5 kilometres from Seychelles International Airport, 4 kilometres from Victoria and within easy reach of the shops and boutiques, bars and restaurants of Eden Plaza, this intimate oceanfront development is ideally situated on the east coast of Mahé, which is shaping up to be the new “Riviera of the Indian Ocean.”
With only six-resort villas being built (five available to purchase) within this 20-key development, Enchanted Waterfront presents a rare and perfect opportunity to own an exclusive oceanfront home in the magnificent Indian Ocean.
Designed and built to combine traditional island-style exteriors (Creole style architecture) with a more contemporary interior aesthetic for today’s needs and preferences, the villas epitomise casual luxury. High-quality finishes and rich textures, using a mix of natural stone and wood, provide vibrancy to the minimalistic interior design, creating a charming and relaxing ambience.
Large window and doorways allow cross-ventilation, permitting natural sunlight to filter in, forming a seamless flow between inside and outside.
Set against a striking backdrop of lush emerald-green mountains, the properties all benefit from extraordinary views, overlooking turquoise waters and neighbouring islands.

Read full detailsThe Seychelles
The Seychelles has 116 islands spread over 788 square miles of the Indian Ocean, four degrees south of the equator and 950 miles north of Mauritius. Only 30 are inhabited, some are coral islands, some volcanic and many designated as natural reserves, a heady mix of raw beauty and exclusivity.
The Seychelles is a delightful combination of African, European and Asian roots with an intriguing history. The country gained independence from Great Britain in 1976 and remains part of the Commonwealth. English and French are both official languages with Creole widely spoken.
The joy of the Seychelles is the variety within the archipelago. Highlights include the island of Praslin fifteen minutes away by plane where the rare coco de mer palm grows in the World Heritage Vallée de Mai and the car-free island of La Digue, home to giant tortoises, colonial-style homes and deserted beaches. Felicite is a tiny granite island covering a little over one square mile. It is a near neighbour to La Digue and famed for its mystical, oversized granite boulders. Dense vegetation including mango trees, coconut palms and banana plantations cover much of Felicite where development has been carefully restricted to preserve the outstanding private island privacy.
Mahé
The island of Mahé is the largest and easily the most developed of all islands. It has the international airport and the world’s smallest capital, Victoria, complete with a replica of London’s Big Ben. The island is 17 miles long by 8 miles at its widest with 70 beaches Mahé is where the majority of the 90,000 population live, mostly in Victoria or on the east coast.
From the high peaks of Morne Seychellois in the northeast to the blissfully natural west coast beaches, Mahé provides activities from snorkelling, diving and jungle walks. The quiet and wilder west coast is only thirty minutes from the airport with dense forests of coconuts and particularly beautiful beaches including Petite Anse and Grande Anse.
Weather:
The islands of the Seychelles enjoy a year-round warm tropical climate, generally governed by two opposing trade winds. The south-easterly trades blow from May to September bringing drier and windier conditions ideal for sailing. From October to March the gentler north-west trades provide calmer seas but a higher chance of refreshing showers. Scuba divers will find April, May, October and November have the warmest seas and visibility is often 30 metres plus.
