Mango Lodge

In 20+ years of travelling we have never returned to the same accommodation twice, so it says something that this was our second stay at Mango Lodge. For us this is a perfect stay; privacy in one of the wonderful cabins on stilts, amazing views across the bay, great support from Lesley and her team when you want it and everything you could want within the cabin including a great kitchen area. As others have said, we would recommend hiring a car (Lesley can help) not just to get up the hill to Mango Lodge but because Praslin deserves exploring and a car gives you so much more flexibility. Overall the perfect accommodation for an amazing trip. Thanks Lesley.

A Magical Experience at Mango Lodge Staying at Mango Lodge was an unforgettable experience! The view is simply breathtaking – waking up among the treetops and watching the sun rise over the forest felt like a dream. The open bedroom design brought us closer to nature, and falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle was something truly special. The lodge has a charming and bohemian style, with comfortable beds and a spacious layout that offers all the amenities you could need. It’s perfect for families or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. Nature is quite literally at your doorstep, creating a sense of tranquility like no other. Leslie, Sofia, and all the animals made our stay even more memorable – they were welcoming, helpful, and full of warmth. We will definitely be back! Thank You for having us! Note: A car is necessary to get here, but it’s absolutely worth the trip!

The property was amazing, and we felt confused how it was only 2 star. Firstly, the views are absolutely incredible as you can see on the photos attached. We were often waking up around 5am to see the sunrise which was really nice. The rooms are cleaned by the housekeepers every day, to a great standard. They are large rooms with so much space as you can see in the photo, we stayed in the chalet and were more than impressed with the room. They had beach towels, kitchen is fully equipped with all amenities, you can easily cook there if you wanted to. The balcony space is huge, and comes with unbelievable views. The owner Leslie is an incredible person and host, nothing is too much for her and she will go out of her way to help you and suggest things, I would suggest to anyone thinking of stopping here to reach out to her with any questions about excursions, rental cars as she will find things far cheaper than you see online, all very reputable. She helped us when we had trouble one morning and gave us a ride to the ferry terminal and refused to take cash, without her we would have missed our ferry to La Digue and we couldn’t thank her enough for this. Rental car is a must, again contact Leslie she found a car for us which was brilliant and so cheap when you’re used to European prices. Overall we loved our stay here, it’s a fabulous place to see amazing views first and last thing in the day. Close by to supermarkets and amazing takeaway spots, Leo’s food truck is a must! Should we ever return to the Seychelles we wouldn’t hesitate a second to stop here again. Thank you so much Leslie and the team!
