An artist’s sanctuary on the wild shores of Anse Soleil, Seychelles
Maison Soleil
Designed and built by hand in 2009 by British artist Andrew Gee. Four private self-catering suites where art, ocean and absolute privacy become one.
Baie Lazare, South of Mahé
Located on Anse Soleil Road in the lush, unspoilt south of Mahé. Perfect for relaxing beach days and exploring the west coast.
- Steps from Anse Soleil beach
- Marias Hot Rock Café (cook your own fish on volcanic rock)
- Four Seasons Resort Seychelles nearby
- Club Liberté Casino
- Local farm shop, museum and authentic Creole restaurants
Other places
Petite Anse, hidden lagoons and golden sunsets — the wild south of Mahé is yours to explore from Maison Soleil.
Four Unique Self-Catering Suites
Nestled in lush tropical gardens, just steps from one of Mahé’s most beautiful beaches. The entire house can be rented exclusively, or individual suites booked separately (two suites can be connected for families or friends).
Complimentary breakfast items provided on the first day for stays of 3 nights or more.

Art by Andrew Gee
Maison Soleil is a living gallery — original watercolours, hand-painted silks and antiques chosen by Andrew fill every suite. His Anse Soleil Art Studio sits right next door: wander in, meet the artist, and take home a piece of the islands.

Café-gallery at Anse Soleil
Andrew is exploring plans to evolve the neighbouring art gallery into a small café-gallery — coffee, conversation and original Seychelles art in one welcoming space.
The idea supports Maison Soleil during future works on the property and would offer guests and passers-by a natural place to pause beside one of Mahé’s finest beaches. The location, right next to the house, is ideal for light hospitality that complements the retreat rather than competes with it.
- Coffee & light bites
- Living gallery
- Steps from the suites
- Local gathering place
This is a vision only — not an operating café. Planning permission has not yet been confirmed; opening dates, hours and services will be announced once any approval is in place.
Today, the gallery remains open as usual. You can visit in person, browse original works, and shop online through the Art Shop.
