Cerf Island, in the Marine National Park and only 5 kms from Victoria, is ideal for a "castaway" holiday with the bonus of easy access to the varied attractions of Mahé.
L'Habitation offers privacy and seclusion in an unspoiled environment and a friendly, relaxed welcome.

Cerf is a small, lush island with around 40 inhabitants, two churches, two restaurants, two hotels, and a number of perfect sandy beaches and little coves. The tropical vegetation is crossed only by footpaths. The surrounding reefs are rich in marine life and offer rewarding diving and snorkelling.

L'Habitation is a delightful, small, family-run hotel with a welcoming atmosphere. The hotel is designed as a colonial plantation house set close to the beach. Ten spacious and very comfortable, air-conditioned rooms are decorated in tropical style. Each has a large terrace overlooking the sea.

The restaurant serves fine, authentic Creole and international dishes, and there is a bar, games room and complimentary day-rooms, allowing you to enjoy the last hours of your stay. Facilities include a pool, snorkelling, pedaloes, canoeing, free scheduled shuttle service to Mahé (10 mins.) and a complimentary half-day trip around the marine park. Guests can also book big game or long-line fishing trips, or a full-day boat excursion with picnic.

L'Habitation Hotel offers a private and unspoilt setting for some 20 guests.
