JA Enchanted Island is located approximately 15 minutes off the coast of the mainland of Mahé. After landing at the airport, it’s a quick 5 minute drive to the dock and a 10-15 minute boat ride to the resort. Offering a private island experience so close to Mahé is amazing because you are off the flight and on island time within an hour. The property is also located within a nature reserve, Ste. Anne Marine National Park. Moyenne Island is famously located right next to JA Enchanted Island and is known for its pirate graves and tortoise habitat. The proximity to both Moyenne and the surrounding islands makes JA a great jumping-off point to explore the surroundings via kayak or paddle board.
The check in experience at JA Enchanted Island begins before you step foot on the island itself. We were picked up at the airport and taken straight to the dock at the sister property, JA Waterfront Lodge to board the quick 10-15 minute boat ride to the property. The staff were friendly, helpful and told us about the area on our way to the hotel. Once you arrive at the island, you are taken on a buggy to the lobby/restaurant just a few seconds, literally, away. We received a lovely welcome beverage during check in at a beautifully decorated table in the restaurant. The whole check in process was easy and efficient and we were whisked away to our villa by buggy within a few minutes.
There are 13 rooms on property today including private pool villas, residences and 2 new categories: Hilltop Rooms and the Hilltop Villa. We were checked into a Private Pool Villa called Villa Lagati and it was my favorite of that room type on the entire island. Most of these villas are fairly private from the walkway, but definitely request this villa if you are looking for the most private experience as you cannot see into any part of the villa from the path. Some of the villas are closer to the walkway so you can see into the pool area or outdoor dining area from the path. Sitting at 1,400 square feet, the villa comprises a studio-style bedroom with a king bed, sitting area and desk. There are floor to ceiling windows looking out over the lagoon and outdoor lounge area as well as vaulted ceilings.

Excellent video. My partner and I are travelling to very similar areas. Amazing channel and videos. We are currently in Lux Le Mourne in Mauritius and we are heading to the Four Seasons Anahita tomorrow. We feel like we are a few weeks behind your tour :) We were hoping you visited the Four Seasons in Seychelles as that will be our next destination after we finish with Mauritius :D :D
