Praslin
The hotel offers 86 villas, the smallest spanning a generous 125 square metres, all elegantly and simply decorated.
Dining at Raffles Praslin brings together the best of Seychellois culture and cuisine alongside dishes from around the world.
All the hotel’s restaurants and lounges showcase the natural beauty of their surroundings and offer a wide range of choices. The main restaurant, Losean, serves a breakfast buffet with flavours from five continents, with uninterrupted views over nearby Curieuse Island. The Curieuse restaurant, meanwhile, serves pan-Asian cuisine set amid superb gardens.
The hotel also features two infinity pools, a beach bar, and a cocktail lounge.
It also has a chic spa and a kids’ club.
Please note: The property is extensive and includes hundreds of steps. Golf buggies are available to help you get around, but this should be taken into consideration.
Children can have fun in an excellent club dedicated to their activities.
Nestled in a lush setting, each villa features a king-size bed, a dressing room, an indoor and outdoor shower, as well as a vast whirlpool bath beneath glass walls offering spectacular ocean views. All villas have an outdoor pavilion and a private pool, where you can enjoy long moments of privacy.
The largest, the Royal Beachfront Villa, includes two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, as well as a 24-hour butler service. The rooms are enhanced by Seychellois artworks by renowned local artist Sheila Markham.
A short walk from the coast at Anse Takamaka, in a magnificent setting, the Raffles Spa has been carefully designed to calm the mind and awaken the senses. The spa features a stunning pool, a hammam, a yoga pavilion and 12 treatment pavilions, offering spectacular views over the ocean, tropical gardens and striking granite boulders.
Swim, sunbathe, dive, kayak, walk — at Raffles Praslin, there is something for everyone.
With two outdoor infinity pools, ideal for a late-evening swim under a starlit sky, the resort blends into the island’s peaceful, natural beauty.
All non-motorised water sports are complimentary, and the hotel can arrange a range of excursions. Go diving around the neighbouring islands, explore the Vallée de Mai, known for its giant coco de mer palms and endangered black parrots, or visit the Aldabra giant tortoise sanctuary.
