Raffles Praslin

Raffles Praslin is a luxurious new addition to the picture-postcard island of Praslin. The resort is tucked amongst 30 hectares of lush greenery, just five minutes from Anse Lazio, widely acclaimed as one of the top five beaches in the world.

Dotted around the hillside, the 86 spacious villas each feature a private plunge pool and outdoor pavilion with perfectly positioned sun loungers for gazing at the ocean! The aptly named Panoramic Villas are located on the highest point of the resort and offer the best views. If you're looking for extra space then book one of the one and two bedroom Villa Suites.

There's an impressive choice of dining options. Feast on contemporary Mediterranean cuisine or fresh seafood & grills. Tailor-make a picnic basket with homemade goodies from Losean Delicatessen and escape to the beach or ask your Raffles Butler to arrange a sumptuous BBQ on the deck of your villa. Enjoy a signature martini at the Danzil Bar or an aperitif overlooking the sea at Takamaka Rooftop Lounge.

Spend your days relaxing on the picture-postcard beaches of Anse Takamaka and Anse Lazio; explore the underwater world of Curieuse National Marine Park with a snorkel or above the water in a kayak; board a boat for a day of island-hopping or pamper yourself at the Raffles Spa. The Sugar Palm Club organises fun and educational activities to keep children of all ages entertained.

15 minutes by domestic flight from Mahe International Airport to Praslin, followed by a 30 minute car transfer.
