First things first: the place is great. A modern complex of four apartments, with a stunning view of the ocean, that is just a few feet away, and well-maintained palm trees. Each unit has a large private balcony with stylish chairs and chaise longues. There are huge windows — in fact, one entire side of the room is made of glass, which is awesome — and the bathroom is modern, complete with a new washing machine. The shower even has a window facing the ocean, which we loved. Bed is just great, with a 50 cm thick mattress. Huge and comfy!! Private parking and a dedicated security service make the area feel safe and secure. That said, the nearby beaches were a bit disappointing. Not terrible, but unfortunately littered — we ended up picking up two bags of plastic bottles. The Macabee natural pools are basically abandoned, overgrown with vegetation. It’s a real shame, because the area has so much potential but seems to be neglected. By car, though, Beau Vallon and other famous beaches are easily reachable. We know this isn't the host’s fault, but it does impact the overall experience. We talked with the host about the issue and she has shown care and sincere will to address the problem with local authorities. The host seems to be positioning the property as a higher-end self-catering option, and she's definitely on the right track. However, a few small details can be improved for a better experience: - The remote controls were wrapped in plastic It’s understandable to want to protect them, but this felt unnecessary and not very premium. - The bathroom had brooms, a mop, and a bucket stored in plain sight. They don’t match a bathroom with a huge modern art painting in it. Anyway we put them to use trying to keep as cleaner as possibile. -The drying rack has only three clothespins; one night, because of the wind, our laundry flew down and I had to go down to the cliffs at dawn to retrieve it (if it happens, it’s not really a big deal anyway).

Nothing I can recall, however you should book in advance to be able to book this superstar!

If I could I would give 15 out of ten! Everything here is special starting with the stunning views (every afternoon there are dolphins passing under your windows) continuing with room facilities (they have it all carefully designed to meet every one of you needs - we recommend more icemakers and shaker for pina colada though! And maybe some comfy pads for the yellow outdoor seating as we were spoiled by the place so much we sere sitting on terrace for hours!) and ending with homeowner and her stuff. We will be back!!!

Nothing to complaint about

Great view from the early morning till night. Just a sound of ocean. Very comfortable bed what made a stay just a dream. Well equipped kitchen. A big balcony with breathtaking view. A very supportive host Pooja offered us keeping our luggage and outside shower as we had an evening flight. Lovely Cookie😉 and last not least - washing machine and washing capsules available 😊

Everything was perfect

The view was just breathtaking. The apartment clean, nice equipped and has very nice host. I believe it’s the best place you can stay in Mahé. Also has very nice beach near by that you can stay alone and enjoy some privacy and amazing view

Me and my fiancé stayed here for 10 nights. Pudja was VERY friendly and she helped us with everything that we needed. She cleaned our place every 2 days. The view was amazing, we saw dolphins and sea turtles as well. Bus stop is 5 min away (we didn’t have a car rental, so we took a bus to everywhere that we wanted to go) and there is also a little corner shop with a LOVELY lady working there. We are coming back for sure. 10/10

What a spectacular view! Nothing better than waking up and having coffee on the balcony listening to the waves. Lovely comfy bed, stunning room with lounge, kitchen and big bathroom. We were so happy with our stay!

All perfect.

Very good location Machabee in the north of Mahė. There is a regular local bus, to rent a car highly recommended. By Next beacht to walk 7 minutes, nice but small. Beau Vallon - very beautiful village and beach: by car 14 minutes, on the way 2-3 very nice beaches. The view directly literally being IN the sea is astonishing. Only 4 appartments all in all. very quiet (depending on other guests). Parking for free, safe, video surveillance. Automatic door. The bed is big and of high end quality. The kitchen has everything one needs. TV and Internet. Very friendly hosts!!! Long stay recommendable. The view from the bathroom-directly into the sea. Big terrace, nice to sit outside. Aircondition working perfectly and silent.

I liked literally everything. From A to Z. Don’t look any further just book Maka Bay.

Stayed in October 2024

The view was stunning, the apartment spotless and Pooja really went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. She showed us everything and had lots of useful advice. We could not have wanted for more in a self-catering apartment. This accommodation is ideal for honeymooners!

I honestly don’t know where to begin with Maka Bay – this property completely exceeded our expectations and left us in awe from the moment we arrived. The location and setting of this place are nothing short of spectacular. The views alone are breathtaking, with expansive, uninterrupted vistas that will leave you speechless. We were lucky enough to spot dolphins from our room on two separate occasions, which was truly a magical experience! One of the things we loved most about Maka Bay is its perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. It’s situated just far enough from the hustle and bustle to feel serene and private, yet still close enough to restaurants and other conveniences. There’s even a supermarket within walking distance, making it easy to pick up anything you need during your stay. And I have to say, the rock pools surrounding the property were an absolute highlight—nature’s beauty at its finest, just steps away. The room itself was clean, neat, and well-maintained, with all the necessary amenities stocked up when we first arrived. It was the perfect home base for our 5-day stay, and honestly, we would have loved to extend our time there if we could. We were welcomed by Pooja, who was such a delightful presence. Her energy was infectious, and she made us feel right at home from the start. She was also incredibly helpful, recommending nearby sights and restaurants that we wouldn’t have found on our own. A thoughtful addition to the room was a comprehensive guidebook with all the information you might need during your stay, from local attractions to practical details, which really added to the ease and comfort of our visit. Our stay at Maka Bay was truly unforgettable and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a stunning, peaceful getaway.

It will be best to rent a car to get from place to place. This is not specifically aimed at this property but Mahé island in general.

It was very nice and clean. Kitchen was good and had enough utensils etc. The hostess (Pooja) is very friendly and made the stay pleasant.

Stayed in March 2024

I can’t think of any negatives, highly recommend!

The apartment is directly above the water. You don’t hear the road above at all which is very relaxing, all you hear is the sound of the waves! You’ll find all the amenities you may need including a washing machine which was particularly handy. Clean & modern, what more can you ask for. Easy access by car or bus. Special thanks to the staff who was very friendly and helpful.

Stayed in March 2024

There was nothing we didn't like. Maybe a little place in the garden would be a nice addition, where you can sit and relax outside.

The room was perfect, even better than on the pictures. The view was really outstanding and we can't get used to it. Our host was not in the property, but communication was good and quick, she help us renting a car wich was really trouble free. The crew was really kind and helpful, fulfilling every request of ours,and even letting us checking in early as she saw my wife is pregnant and really tired after the flight. The room has equipped with everything you need for self catering, it was clean. I highly recommend it.
