| Located in the National Marine Park, some 5 km from Mahé and Victoria, the Seychelles capital, Cerf Island is ringed by white sandy beaches and coves and covered with dense tropical vegetation. This small granite island is just 1.7 km long by 900 metres wide. The surrounding reefs, with their abundance of marine life, are a paradise for divers.
L'Habitation is the island's second tourism establishment, opened in January 2001. Blending perfectly with its surroundings, l'Habitation has a special ambiance ideal for those seeking privacy in a peaceful setting. There is accommodation for up to 24 guests. The main building, designed in colonial plantation house style, has 10 comfortable and spacious rooms with terraces overlooking the sea and the marine park. All rooms come with en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, hair dryer, TV, telephone, minibar and tea/coffee facilities. There are two complimentary day rooms where guests can relax and enjoy the last hours of their stay before flying home.
The plantation-style restaurant offers a range of delicious Creole cuisine that includes local fish, seafood, meat and fruit as well as first-rate international cuisine. At lunchtimes, a new thatched beach kiosk serves grilled fresh fish. Other facilities include a bar, a swimming pool, a games room and water sports including snorkelling, pedalo and canoeing. Paid-for activities include diving, big game fishing, long-line fishing and full day boat excursion with picnic. A free shuttle service between Mahé and Cerf Island is provided at regular hours:
