Tucked away in idyllic seclusion, nestled amongst a verdant tropical landscape and dramatic granite formations, the recently unveiled Raffles Praslin Seychelles offers intimate residential ambience in an unparalleled luxury resort.
Raffles Praslin is located on the beautiful north eastern tip of Praslin, the second largest granite island in the Seychelles - an island country of 115 islands set in the Indian Ocean.
The resort enjoys direct beachfront access on Anse Takamaka, with a 500-meter long stretch of soft white sand and crystalline blue sea, ideal for swimming and a variety of water sports such as snorkelling, scuba diving, canoeing and kayaking, sailing and more.
Take in stunning views while enjoying long leisurely soaks.
The legendary Vallee de Mai, one of the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Seychelles, is an attraction not to be missed. The magnificent Coco de Mer palms found only on Praslin and Curieuse islands, grow wild in glorious abundance here, bearing fruit to the largest seeds in the world. Other endemic plants and animal species such as the rare Seychelles Black Parrot can also be discovered at Vallee de Mai - once believed to be the original site of Eden.
On Praslin Island, the Raffles team is on hand to assist with the planning of the most exclusive private dining experiences at any imaginable locations on the island or in the privacy of the resort. Savour a gastronomic adventure atop the granite boulders or a family picnic on the pristine beaches, the varied landscape of the island offers countless outdoor dining options.
