Eden Island Development Company has established a Rental Pool on Eden Island and has obtained the necessary licence to rent out properties on behalf of homeowners either on a short or long term basis. The business is named Eden Island Luxury Accommodation. If you are looking to rent out your unit on Eden Island, please contact Eden Island Luxury Accommodation.
In terms of the laws of Seychelles, foreign owners may not rent out their properties privately without a licence. It is critical therefore that all owners who rent out their units register these with the Luxury Accommodation team who will also assist with registering your unit for payment of the required taxes. The company charges an administration fee as well as manages the mandatory government tax which is paid over to the relevant government department.

As it is currently laid out in the terms of agreement, a homeowner can look at selling his or her property, but not prior to transfer of the property into his/her name. VMA has an approved set of standard sales documentation that the homeowners should use when selling their properties to ensure that all their rights and obligations as a homeowner are duly transferred to the new purchaser. If you require further information please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Eden Island's duly appointed sales agent, Eden Island Real Estate (Seychelles) Limited, will take a mandate to sell an owner's property should they so wish. In this regard, the Village Management Association must also consent to a sale to ensure that all levies have been paid, competing sales agents aren’t displaying unattractive ‘For Sale’ signboards all around the island and that a similar contract is used in terms of the requirement of the Government of the Seychelles.
