Description:

This small private beach belongs to the Hilton Seychelles Resort and Spa, and its visitors are almost exclusively patrons of the resort itself. These guests can enjoy beautiful sand and excellent snorkelling conditions, something the resort takes advantage of with equipment rentals for guests. Getting to the beach is simple for guests of the hotel, of course, who simply need to walk from their room to the beach in seconds. The beach is also open to non-guests, however anyone not staying at the resort should obtain permission at reception before heading to the beach. In terms of transport, there is a nearby bus stop, and there is also a car park, although this is reserved for guests of the hotel. Northolme Beach is excellent for snorkelling thanks to the water depth and the underwater scenery. The hotel takes advantage of this by offering equipment rental to guests so that they can discover the underwater world of the Seychelles more easily. The beach is also beautifully shaded, making it a relaxing, cooler place to enjoy a hot day in the Seychelles. Unless you are staying at the resort itself, it is unlikely that you’ll ever set foot on Northolme Beach. That said, guests of the hotel are in for a treat, having such a secluded beach on their doorstep. The excellent snorkelling conditions round the beach off nicely, so guests of the hotel should make sure to visit Northolme Beach at least once during their trip.
