Anse Kerlan Beach Chalets

Very comfortable and specious chalet with all you need and more 😁. Private access to the lovely beach 🏝️. Hammocks between the palm trees 🌴. And most of all, the hosts: Tasiana and Pascal are the most welcoming, helpful and kind people 💙💛❤️🤍💚

That we didn’t book it for more days 😉

Spiaggia “privata” fantastica

It’s a lovely quiet secluded and well-equipped property. Taciana and Pascal are delightful and helpful hosts. Taciana arranged for our rental car to arrive shortly after check-in. There’s a small private beach with picturesque granite boulders on one side.

Amazing place, absolutely a wonderful location right on the beach. We have visited the island previously, and this accommodation is the best place we have stayed in by far. Taciana and Pascal are the most amazing hosts; everything was spotless, they were so responsive, and nothing was too much trouble. The housekeeping was brilliant, unobtrusive and regular; the grounds and garden immaculate; and the beach area almost private and with plenty of loungers and tables and chairs. We had a one-bedroom beach villa, a huge comfortable bed, lots of storage and all the expected kitchenware. A car is useful for staying on the island, as it is located at one end, and a car makes it easier to reach sights, beaches, and a selection of restaurants across the whole island. Having said that, there are 2-3 great supermarkets within walking distance, as well as a few restaurants and bars. A little further down the coast, we would recommend the Paradiser restaurant, which has good Creole and international food and great service. The takeaway at cote d'or/Anse Volbert is a must for Creole food at lunchtime. Follow signs off the main road before that for the Hotel Archipel (costly) and stop at the hidden cove with the local beach bar and lunchtime BBQ before you get to the hotel. Brilliant swimming and snorkelling at Anse Lazio stood out as the best beach, but all are stunning, and a car makes it easy to reach them. Fond Ferdinand would be my choice for the rainforest and Coco de Mer, but Vallee de Mai is the UNESCO site and therefore bigger and pricier. Both have local guides and lovely walks; Fond Ferdinand gives better views from the top. Oh, and finally, take mosquito spray everywhere. Anse Kerlan beach in front of the villa was cleaned almost daily and was free from any biting critters the whole time; more local beaches may have the dreaded sandflies, and bites can linger and be very itchy. Natural sprays worked best for us.

Nothing at all; it was absolutely perfect. We have already booked to return later this year and would not hesitate to do so again. Relax and enjoy Anse Kerlan Beach Villas's paradise setting, wonderful accommodation and hosts.
