About Praslin

Praslin is the second largest of the Seychelles islands, a granite-based beauty with a long ridge of mountains covered in jungle, which drops sharply down to pristine, clear-water bays fringed by perfect white sand. There are plenty of palm trees, an incredible array of unusual flair and fauna and some really gorgeous hotels and resorts. Some of the best places to stay on Praslin appear in lists of the world’s great honeymoon hotels, or perfect private island resorts.

Praslin is sleepier than neighbour Mahé, and the best places to stay on Praslin are more likely to offer private beach dining than a nightclub. This is also an incredible island for hikers and would-be explorers. Praslin’s Vallée de Mai is a national park and world heritage site, and a great place for spotting the famous coco de mer, the double coconut, but there are all sorts of rare birds and animals here too, including the rare Seychelles Black Parrot. And the best places to stay on Praslin are never more than a few minutes from one of Praslin’s perfect beaches.

Where to Stay

  • Anse Lazio on Praslin’s northwest is a regular finalist lists of the best beaches in the Seychelles, and so many of the best places to stay on Praslin boast about how close they are to this beach.
  • Anse Volbert is another popular beach.
  • As is Grand Anse, as serveral of our recommendations are along this stretch of coastline.

Some of the most romantic places to stay on praslin

  • If you want all the bells and whistles, Constance Lemuria on Praslin might be the best place to stay in the Seychelles for you. It’s right on the beach, but close to three of the island’s more beautiful beaches, and has a huge spa offering — some of its suites come with their own massage pavilion, sauna and jacuzzi. It’s also close to an 18hole golf course.
  • Le Domaine de la Réserve on gorgeous Anse Petit Cour on Praslin, is a beautiful hotel resort with just 40 rooms, suites and colonial/ Creole style villas. As well as being fairly secluded around a beautiful stretch of beach, the hotel has one of the largest pools in the Seychelles. There are some very comfortable family options here too, but it’s also very romantic.
  • In a relatively secluded spot on the north-east coast of Praslin, L'Archipel is a really charming hotel with just 32 rooms and suites, all luxuriously minimalist, with spectacular views. There are two Creole restaurants and a friendly, relaxed vibe.

The best hotel views on praslin

  • Le Domaine de l’Orangerie is a beautifully designed resort surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens and on a beautiful stretch of private beach. You get the idea, it’s just an incredible location and they’ve built a really unobtrusive hotel here, with 128 rooms, suites and villas of varying sizes. This is the perfect place to come to snorkel, stroll around, enjoy the sunset and just generally lap up the surrounding beauty.
  • Le Château de Feuilles is a five-star, resort with just nine suites. The Praslin location means you’re close to operators who can take you out fishing, snorkelling or diving, but it’s a small hotel in a privileged location with access to its own small private island, Grande Soeur, which is 20minutes away by boat.
  • Raffles Seychelles is a luxurious hotel on the seafront at the Baie Sainte Anne, with 86 rooms and villas. The sunsets are beautiful when seen from the hotel’s private terraces, and there’s a spa, plunge pools and an excellent sushi restaurant.

Some of the best value places to stay on praslin

  • The Treasure Island Retreat in Anse Kerlan on Praslin is a collection of just four apartments, but in a fantastic spot next to one of Praslin’s most beautiful beaches. Each apartment has a fully-equipped kitchen, and open-plan dining and lounge, and a balcony or terrace with sea views.

Travel information

  • If you don’t have your own private yacht or boat the only international gateway to the Seychelles is the Seychelles International Airport near the capital, Victoria on Mahé. From there you’ll need to take one of the regular flights between Mahé and Praslin. You can also get around by chartering a helicopter, or charter plane, or by ferry, and there are plenty of ferries.
  • If you’re thinking about hiring a car we recommend checking what our online partners, Rentalcars have to offer.
  • The Seychelles are generally hot and humid, with the drier, cooler season between May and September and the hotter, wetter season between November and March. The missing months are the changeover months: April is the calmest and warmest month, when the winds are changing direction, and November is warm with light winds, again as they change direction.
