First Impressions & The Arrival Frenzy
Okay, so picture this: you've just survived a transatlantic flight, your hair looks like you wrestled a windstorm, and you desperately need a shower. That's me. Landing in Seychelles… pure magic, even if you smell vaguely of airplane peanuts. The airport transfer was smooth, thankfully. Shout-out to the driver who didn't judge my bedhead. And then, BAM! Dhevatara. The moment you pull up, the sheer beauty hits you like a tropical tidal wave. You're greeted with a welcome drink (thank goodness!), and the staff – bless their hearts – are all smiles, even when you’re probably a bit cranky. Contactless check-in/out? Genius. Less faffing, more beach!
Accessibility-wise, I'm not an expert, but I noticed the Elevator, which is a BIG win for the hotel.
Rooms: My Sanctuary of Sleep (and Internet!)
The rooms? Oh, the rooms. Firstly, Air conditioning in public area is a game changer, especially when you're trying to keep a handle on your hair! And the Air conditioning in my room was a life-saver. I’m talking about a luxurious haven. The Blackout curtains are a godsend after a long day diving. They let you sleep in as long as you want. The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! was a godsend. I'm talking about Internet access – wireless. Also, the Internet access – LAN was there, but hey, who uses that anymore? A true modern amenity. The Desk, my own little corner to write those travel journals! The Laptop workspace was very handy when I got some work to do. The Wake-up service? Perfect!
I really need to highlight the Free bottled water. Honestly, the little things matter! They left fresh bottles every day. And the Additional toilet was another nice touch.
**Now, about the *Wi-Fi in public areas*: It was good, but not the super-fast one.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Paradise Found (and Massages Found!)
Okay, let's talk about unwinding. Dhevatara delivers. First off, the Swimming pool [outdoor]. That pool? Pure bliss. The Pool with view? Forget about it! Just breathtaking! I spent more time horizontal in that pool than I care to admit. The Sauna was great to relax but with the heat, I wasn’t there longer than 15 minutes.
The Gym/fitness was really nice and full equipped, but I have to be honest: who am I kidding? I went once. I spent more time swimming and hanging out. Don't judge!
Body scrub was a must. Body wrap, even better. Pure, unadulterated, "I left my worries at the door" bliss.
The Spa/sauna: a relaxing experience.
I also need to add: the Steamroom! Pure bliss!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food Glorious Food (and the Dreaded Buffet)
Food is my love language, and Dhevatara speaks fluently. The Breakfast [buffet], well, it's a buffet. Not my fave, but it works. There was a wide selection to choose from, including Asian breakfast. I opted for the Western breakfast, more my speed. They also offer Breakfast service in the room, a nice touch.
A la carte in restaurant: Great food!
Restaurants: There are a few – and all are worth trying!
Coffee/tea in restaurant The coffee? Top-notch!
The Poolside bar is pure indulgence. Sip cocktails while watching the sunset? Yes, please. Happy hour? SOLD!
Desserts in restaurant: The stuff of dreams!
I loved the Snack bar.
There’s a Vegetarian restaurant too!
Services and Conveniences: The Nitty-Gritty (and the Glorious Extras)
The staff are the unsung heroes. The Concierge was helpful. The Laundry service was efficient. The Daily housekeeping made things feel spotless.
The Facilities for disabled guests were great, and I didn't even need them – you are in good hands.
Other Handy Things:
- Air conditioning in public area: You'll be grateful.
- Cash withdrawal: Convenient.
- Currency exchange: Handy.
- Gift/souvenir shop: Score some treasures!
- Ironing service: Because wrinkles are the enemy.
- Luggage storage: Useful.
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind (and Sanitize, Sanitize, Sanitize!)
Safety is paramount these days, and Dhevatara takes it seriously. The Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items show that the hotel cares. Rooms sanitized between stays. Staff trained in safety protocol: You can relax.
For the Kids (and Those Who Love Them):
I didn't go with kids, but the hotel has:
- Babysitting service
- Family/child friendly
- Kids facilities
Accessibility: The Wheelchair-Friendly Angle
As mentioned before, I'm not a wheelchair user, but the presence of an Elevator is a big plus.
My Honest Verdict:
Dhevatara Beach Hotel? Is it perfect? Nope. Is it paradise? Pretty darn close. The staff is amazing, the location is stunning, and the overall vibe is pure relaxation. If you're looking for a place to escape, recharge, and indulge, this is it.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average, sterile travel itinerary. This is my attempt at wrestling the Dhevatara Beach Hotel in the Seychelles into submission. Prepare for some messy, glorious chaos.
**Destination: Dhevatara Beach Hotel, Seychelles. (Pray for me.) Duration: A whirlwind 7 days. Or maybe just 3 days. Time is a construct, right?!
Day 1: Arrival, Delirium, and the Great Mosquito Apocalypse.
- Morning (or what passes for it after 20 hours of travel): Land in Mahé. Humidity hits me like a warm, salty hug from a giant, sweaty octopus. Pre-COVID I'd have been stoked for a hug. Now, I'm just judging everyone for breathing the same air as me. The transfer to Praslin Island is an adventure in itself - a teeny turbo-prop plane that feels like a particularly enthusiastic blender. I swear, I saw the pilot wink at me, probably anticipating my inevitable panicked face.
- Afternoon: Arrive at Dhevatara. Whoa. Legitimately, whoa. Pictures don't do it justice. Pure, postcard perfection. The staff greets me with a cold towel that smells like pure magic and a welcome drink that probably has a little something in it to encourage immediate relaxation. (Side note: I’m already relaxed, but I’m not complaining.) I unpack, which means mostly just throwing things in vaguely closet-shaped areas, and then… I discover the mosquito situation. It's a biblical plague of tiny, buzzing vampires. I swear, one of them took a selfie with my ankle before I could swat it.
- Evening: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. The food is… well, I’m too distracted by the sheer beauty of the surroundings to properly taste anything. The ocean whispers promises of adventure, the moon casts a silvery glow, and I’m pretty sure a lizard just stole my shrimp. It's all overwhelmingly beautiful, and I feel this weird mix of awe and a deep-seated fear that I’ve accidentally wandered into someone else’s perfect life. I stumble back to my villa, swatting at anything that moves, and collapse onto the bed, utterly wrecked.
Day 2: The Beach. The Beach. And More Glorious Beach.
- Morning: Wake up feeling mildly defeated by the mosquito war, but also completely and utterly in love with my private villa. It’s like my own personal piece of paradise. I grab a coffee and head straight for the beach. And… wow. The water is that impossibly turquoise color you only see in travel brochures. The sand? Fine, white, and feels like walking on powdered sugar. I spend the entire morning alternating between blissful sunbathing and frantic applications of bug spray. (Side note: I might need a whole bottle for just one leg. And those mosquitoes are winning!)
- Afternoon: Snorkelling! I bravely venture into the crystal-clear water, armed with a mask and vague memories of a childhood swimming lesson. I see… fish! Lots of them! Brightly colored, darting around like miniature underwater fireworks. There’s a moment where I forgot to breathe and panic, but then I'm fine I'm fine. I even spot a sea turtle! It's majestic and graceful, and I feel a pang of envy. (Why can’t I just glide effortlessly through the water like that?)
- Evening: Dinner at the hotel restaurant again, but this time, I'm determined to enjoy it. I order the local fish (a mistake, I’m guessing) and a glass of wine, and force myself to actually taste the food instead of just staring at the view. It’s… delicious! I mean, apart from the tiny bone I almost choked on. But you know, character building. And it’s all so good.
Day 3: The Vallée de Mai. Palms. And a Desperate Plea for Bug-Free Existence.
- Morning: Today, I booked a tour to the Vallée de Mai, the UNESCO World Heritage site. It's home to the famous Coco de Mer palm, which bears the largest seed in the world. Honestly, I'm more excited about the idea of a rainforest than the reality. And, the mosquitoes seem to be taking lessons about my routes and my blood type. I feel like a walking, buzzing buffet. The guide tries to tell me about the unique biodiversity, but I'm mostly distracted by the constant feeling of something crawling on my skin.
- Afternoon: Back at the hotel, I spend a solid hour in the bath. I am convinced. I'm using every product. I have to emerge from the Villa, and I’m hoping this is a good enough defense
- Evening: I wander the beach, I gaze upon the sunset. I order a pizza and eat it on my balcony.
Day 4: Relaxation? (MAYBE! The Mosquitoes laugh.)
- Morning: The plan today is… nothing. Or as little as humanly possible. I attempt to read a book, but mostly just end up staring at the ceiling. I start journaling. I think. I remember. I then… I want to wander. Why not another swim?
- Afternoon: I order a massage at the spa. It's supposed to be all zen and relaxing, and it is… until I start itching. Mosquitoes are the architects of my downfall.
- Evening: I sit, watch the sunset (again, its beauty is not lost on me), and vow to find a solution to this bug problem. Maybe I'll fashion myself a full-body mosquito net suit.
Day 5: Island Hopping (and Mosquito Avoidance Tactics)
- Morning: I take a boat trip to a nearby island. Again, the scenery is breathtaking. The captain (a charming, slightly sunburnt local) regales me with stories of pirates and buried treasure. I try to concentrate, but my mind is consumed by a strategic plan: How to survive the next few hours without becoming a snack for the local insect population.
- Afternoon: Back at Dhevatara. I consider barricading myself inside my villa. I consider buying a flame thrower.
- Evening: I give up. I am defeated. I eat a burger on the balcony and watch the stars. They're pretty.
Day 6: The Great Bug Spray Experiment.
- Morning: Scientific experiment day! I try every bug spray in the gift shop. I layer them, mix them, and pray to whatever deity is in charge of mosquito control.
- Afternoon: I brave the beach again. I'm still getting bitten, but hey, at least I smell like citronella and desperation.
- Evening: Final dinner at the hotel restaurant. I’m surprisingly sad to leave. The beauty, the food, the sheer luxury… it’s all been a bit overwhelming, in the best possible way.
Day 7: Farewell… and a Promise to Return, Armed for War.
- Morning: A final breakfast. I try not to think about the long journey ahead. I take one last look at the ocean, promising myself I’ll be back. Next time, though, I’m bringing a hazmat suit.
- Afternoon: The flight back. I fall asleep on the plane, dreaming of turquoise water, white sand, and a world free of buzzing, blood-sucking tormentors.
- Evening: Back home, covered in itchy, mosquito bites, and already planning my return trip. Because, despite the bugs, the Dhevatara Beach Hotel… it's a little bit of paradise.
And that, my friends, is my gloriously messy, honest, and slightly unhinged account of my Seychelles adventure.
