Praslin

Praslin is a quiet tropical paradise home to the rare coco de mer palm, spectacular coastlines, and exceptional luxury hideaways tucked away along pristine bays of the brilliant Indian Ocean.

Enquire

Stepping onto the shores of the second largest island in the Seychelles feels like discovering a beautiful, secret world where time moves at a slower pace.

The true soul of the island lies hidden within the mystical Vallée de Mai, a dense and ancient palm forest protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walking beneath its giant, rustling canopies feels like stepping back into prehistoric times, where lucky visitors might hear the rare call of the black parrot echoing through the trees.

This lush green interior flows gently down to meet coastlines that are regularly named among the finest in the world. The soft white sands of Anse Lazio are framed beautifully by smooth, pink granite boulders, while the shallow turquoise waters of Côte d’Or Beach offer the perfect setting for gentle swimming and private yacht charters.

The island understands that true luxury is about what surrounds you, offering a small, exclusive collection of high-end resorts and private villas that look out over the ocean without disturbing the natural landscape. From the fairways of a championship golf course to quiet sunset dinners on the sand, this beautiful destination provides an unforgettable island escape.
