Kempinski Seychelles Resort Baie Lazare

The Kempinski at Baie Lazare has quietly become one of the easiest luxury family bases on Mahe. Its free kids club runs from eight to six for ages 4 to 12, with tortoise feeding and an Adventure Garden, and a dedicated children's pool sits right by it. The beach at Baie Lazare is broad and the resort is compact enough to walk with little legs. It hits a sweet spot between comfort, price and genuine child-friendliness.
Our verdict
A compact, easy-to-walk five-star with a free all-day kids club, a children's pool and an Adventure Garden, at a friendly price for Mahe.
The rooms
Rooms are large and most have a balcony or terrace facing the bay. Families usually take a Garden or Sea View room with an extra bed, or connecting rooms for more space, and the resort sleeps children easily with free cots. The layout is compact and mostly step-free, which is a relief with a pushchair. A children's pool sits beside the main pool near the kids club.

Constance Lemuria
Lemuria is all suites and villas, and families spread out in a Junior Suite with an extra bed or, better, a two-bedroom Villa with a private pool and space for everyone. Cots are free and the resort is used to babies. Buggies ferry you around the hilly, green estate, and the three beaches include the famous Anse Georgette. The children's pool and playground sit near the kids club.

Raffles Seychelles
Every room at Raffles is a private villa, and many have their own pool, which is a huge win with a napping toddler or an early bedtime. One and two-bedroom Pool Villas suit families, and up to five children thirteen and under stay free using existing bedding, which softens the cost. A creche looks after younger children while the Sugar Palm Kids' Club takes ages four and up. Cots and baby kit come on request.

Constance Ephelia
Ephelia spreads over 120 hectares with two beaches, so there is a lot of choice for families. The 17 Family Villas have two bedrooms and a private plunge pool, ideal when a toddler needs a dark room for naps, while Junior and Senior Suites handle a family of three or four. Cots are free on request and connecting options are easy to arrange. A shuttle buggy runs around the grounds, which helps because the estate is large.
