The Sainte Anne is located in the middle of the Marine Park, protected since 1973. No engine propelled sports is authorised, a guarantee for great tranquillity for the guests. Therefore, do not expect water ski or jet ski. The hotel covers less than a quarter of the area of the island: the remainder is intact and uninhabited. A free trek is organised with specialised guides, every Monday and Thursday from 9 am. The walk, which lasts 2h30 in total, allows you to discover the feral coast of the south, offering gorgeous panoramas of the islands of the Marine Park. After the passage of millenium granitic blocks, you discover two virgin coves, refuges for sea turtle during the laying season. The hotel also propses glass bottom boat excursions. Do not miss being petted by Clarins at the spa, while your children enjoy the mini club. A free shuttle service links the Sainte Anne to the private pontoon of the hotel at Mahé, from 10 am to 5:30 pm. The crossing lasts 10 minutes.

Lodging advice

The "Bel Air", "Belle Vue" and "Providence" villas are nearest to the beach, while the "Beau Séjour" villas are further away, but also cheaper. Note that the "Belle vue" and "Bel air" villas are adapted to children with 9 connecting sets of rooms. If your building is located near Grande Anse, do not hesitate to take the wooden pontoon which bypasses the Villa Royale in order to reach the swimming pool, the Sans-Souci bar and the Abondance restaurant located in Anse Royale: it is more pleasant than waiting for the electric carts.

Not less than three fine and white sand beaches, extremely magnificent, surround the Sainte Anne, their different location ensure that two of them are never affected by the algae problem. Owing to this, the beach of Grande Anse in the north is closed from the end of October to the end of April because of algae landing on it, when that of Anse Tortue, located in the south, close for the 6 remaining months of the year.
