This is paradise on earth! We had a wonderful time at Hilton on Silhouette Island.
Everything was perfect! Silhouette is a lovely island with one small village. The Hilton resort is located next to the village. There are no cars on the island, only mini "golf cars" that belongs to the hotel and bikes.
To get to the hotel you take a 45 minutes long ride with Hilton's boat from bel ombre Jetty on Mahe. At bel ombre Jetty, Hilton has a lounge were you can hang out while you wait for the boat.
The restaurants at the hotel are great and the servants are so sweet and helpful. I would also recommend you to eat at "le grann kaz" which is located in the village. There you really get the african feeling. You don't have to bring money, you can just put the bill on the room.
Most of the staff come from the Seychelles and everyone is reallyreally nice!
The beach is unbelievably amazing, perfect sand and the water is clear blue. There are not that many people on the beach, it almost felt like you were on your own private beach. Don't forget to bring a mask, a snorkel and fins, just a 100 meters out in the water there are a lot of corals with amazing fishes!
One thing you have to do during your stay is to go out for a dive with the diving center. The whole team working at Eco diving center are so nice, helpful and proffensional. Diving outside Silhouette Island was amazing, wonderful corals and fish, and we also saw a few sharks (they were small and not dangerous). Diving with the people from the diving center is one of my best memories from the trip. It is definitly a must do!
I will absolutely go back to Hilton resort on Silhouette. One of the best hotels I've stayed at. I loved it!
