At a glance
JA Enchanted Island Resort is a private-island resort of 10 pool villas on Round Island, in the Sainte Anne Marine National Park off Mahé.
The resort takes up the whole of Round Island, a granite-and-palm islet in the Sainte Anne Marine National Park, 15 minutes by speedboat from Mahé. One of the smallest luxury resorts in the Seychelles, it has a handful of pool villas and two rooms, styled after the islands of the 1930s.
Each villa has its own pool, direct beach access, an outdoor bathroom, and round-the-clock service, with a two-bedroom Owner’s villa at the top. Two restaurants cover the food, Bounty (international) and The Reverie (Mediterranean), alongside a hilltop spa, an infinity pool, and a gym.
The whole point is privacy, with snorkeling and kayaking in the marine park, and excursions to Praslin and La Digue. It suits couples, gay or straight, on a honeymoon or milestone trip, wanting an island to themselves. Transfers run by boat from Mahé.

Accommodation
Private Pool Villa
Guests at the Enchanted Island Signature Villa are cocooned in a lush tropical paradise surrounded by palm trees. The 240-square metre property is one of the finest Seychelles luxury villas, comprising two adjoining sections to create a lavish bolthole for six people. And when you step out, pristine sands lie in wait outside your door. This is also the closest villa to the restaurant, reception and main swimming pool.

Owner's Signature Villa
While luxury and comfort abound in each of the island’s villas, this unparalleled property elevates the guest experience to a whole new level. The two-bedroom accommodation is split over two adjoining villas, with direct access to three beaches, a larger indoor and outdoor living space and separate lounge with a sofa and dining area.
More Information
Dining
There are two restaurants with separate menus. Bounty is the main all-day restaurant, offering international and Creole dishes, while The Reverie focuses on Mediterranean cooking. Two bars, including one by the pool, cover drinks through the day. Because the island is so small, the kitchen is flexible, and the signature private dinner, set up on the beach for couples, is the resort’s set-piece event.
Wellness
The Tresor spa is on the hilltop, with couples’ treatment rooms, deep soaking tubs, and a Swedish-massage-led menu. An infinity pool looks out over the lagoon, and a 24-hour gym runs yoga classes throughout the week. The bigger draw is the water itself: the resort is inside a marine park, so snorkeling straight off the beach is part of the day, and the pace stays slow and quiet across the island.
Location
Round Island is a small island in the Sainte Anne Marine National Park, the cluster of protected islands just off Victoria on the east side of Mahé. The transfer is about 15 minutes by speedboat from the resort’s own jetty near the capital. The island is private to resort guests, though the beaches are public by Seychelles law, so day visitors do come ashore at times. Praslin and La Digue are reachable on day trips.
