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.

VisionNext door · Future chapter
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.
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.
