Essentials of your personalized stay in Praslin

Your tailor-made stay in Praslin uncovers exceptional natural treasures that our Travel Planners integrate according to your preferences and pace of travel.

Vallée de Mai, a jewel of the world heritage

Vallée de Mai is the highlight of your trip to Praslin. This primary forest of 19.5 hectares houses the largest population of sea coconut palms in the world, with over 7,000 specimens. Our local guides accompany you on marked trails for an in-depth discovery of this unique ecosystem.

The sea coconut, also called coco de mer, produces the largest seed in the plant kingdom, weighing up to 20 kilograms. This endemic species fascinates with its suggestive shapes and rarity. Your walk in the valley also allows you to observe the black parrot of the Seychelles, an endangered endemic species with a population not exceeding 800 individuals.

Five hiking trails crisscross the reserve, suitable for all levels. The main path of 1.2 kilometers leads you to the heart of this vegetal cathedral where a mystical atmosphere prevails. Our Travel Planners organize your visit at the most opportune times to avoid crowds and maximize your chances of wildlife observation.

Dream beaches of Praslin Island

Praslin boasts beaches of striking beauty featured in your bespoke trip according to your beach preferences.

Anse Lazio ranks at the top of the world's most beautiful beaches. This 600-meter-long bay extends its powdery sand between imposing granite rocks shaped by erosion. The translucent waters invite swimming and snorkeling among colorful tropical fish. Our experts recommend a morning visit to fully enjoy this gem in a more intimate atmosphere.

Anse Georgette, accessible via the Constance Lemuria golf course, offers an even more preserved setting. This confidential beach of 300 meters captivates with its relative isolation and giant palms that provide natural shade. Swimming is particularly pleasant thanks to calm and shallow waters.

Côte d'Or, located on the northeast coast, concentrates numerous accommodations and restaurants. This 2-kilometer beach offers a variety of water activities and an impressive view of Curieuse Island. Our Travel Planners organize lunches on the sand at establishments chosen for their authenticity.

Other more secretive beaches dot the coastline: Anse Boudin in the north, Anse Consolation in the south, or Anse Volbert in the east. Each has its own character that our local experts help you discover according to your preferences.
