What is the main hotel on Silhouette Island Seychelles and is it worth staying there?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 37 days ago
TL;DR
Silhouette Island has essentially one hotel — formerly a Hilton, now managed by the Niva group. It's a colonial-style boutique property with no beach access, large sea-view rooms, but limited dining and activities.
What the community said
The hotel on Silhouette has changed ownership — Hilton sold it to a group called Niva, but Hilton's website still lists it for booking. Verify the current management status before reserving.

Breakfast is modest but good quality. Two on-site restaurants have limited menus that feel repetitive after a few days. There are no dining options outside the hotel.

Entertainment options include a billiard table and live evening music. There's a small gym and a mid-range spa. No gift shop on site. A week-long stay would likely feel too quiet.
