Getting there

Traditional and electric bicycles for rent. Under the 2022 transport policy, bicycles must be licensed and insured and e-bike riders must wear helmets. Amendments approved in March 2024 limit e-bikes to 300 W, bar riders under 16 and require helmets for children under 14 on bicycles.

Before you book

Do not swim at Anse Gaulettes in front of the villa: SeyVillas (checked 16 September 2026) says strong undercurrents at high tide can carry swimmers out to sea and that no-one should swim there. The owners put the village about 3 km away, so plan on cycling or taxis for shops and restaurants.
