STORY Seychelles
Things to know
before you go
STORY Seychelles is not an all-inclusive-only resort; classify it as optional because all-inclusive packages exist alongside other board bases.
Its strongest appeal is Beau Vallon beach access with more dining variety than many Seychelles resorts.
Package details should be checked carefully because premium all-inclusive and standard all-inclusive are not identical.
Things guests wish they had known
All-inclusive is available, but STORY Seychelles also sells non-all-inclusive board bases.
Beach Pool Villas are the clearest upgrade if direct beach access matters.
Strengths from our research
Excellent Beau Vallon location
Multiple restaurants for Seychelles standards
Private-pool villa options
Walkable to Beau Vallon dining area
Other considerations from our research
All-inclusive is optional and package-dependent
High price point
Limited resort-specific Reddit coverage

Pools and the beach
Pools & waterplay
Official and guest sources support a main resort pool plus private pools in villa categories; exact shared pool count should be manually verified.
The beach itself
Beau Vallon is one of Mahé's best-known swimmable beaches, with generally good swimming and sunset conditions; seasonal surf and visibility can vary.
- Calm water, swimmable straight off the sand
- Gradual entry, shallow a long way out
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
Families & group stays

- Kids' club
- Program listed

- Gradual, calm entry: toddler-friendly
- Dinner reservations

- Does STORY Seychelles have a kids' club, and from what age?

- Is the beach at STORY Seychelles good for young children?
- The water in front is typically calm, and the entry is a gradual walk-in a young child can stand in.

- Private dining & events
- Bookable
- Nightlife
- Low-key, quiet by late evening
