Short Reviews On Resorts & Hotels In Praslin Island, Seychelles

One of the most popular and widely visited islands of the Seychelles, Praslin is located approximately one hour by boat from the nation's largest island of Mahe. World famous for luxury hotels and incredible beautiful beaches, of which there are simply too many to name, Praslin has an atmosphere which is somewhat quieter than Mahe. Extensive development has been overlooked in favor of lush coconut groves and endless greenery, culminating in a true exotic paradise. Praslin is a unique island in the Seychelles in that it is the only to feature a championship golf course, along with being the only other than Mahe to boast a casino, both of which are incredibly popular draws for tourists from all over the world.

There are many luxury hotels in Praslin to accommodate tourists looking for excellent amenities and high-level service. Ultimate luxury on the island is provided courtesy of the Constance Lemuria resort's spectacular presidential villa. This lavish, 3-bedroom offering comes complete with its own private beach, swimming pools on all three levels, an outdoor whirlpool bathtub and dedicated staff available on request for every desire even the most demanding dignitary could ever have. The Lemuria hotel is also home to the aforementioned golf course. For those not willing to part with such huge sums of cash, a similar atmosphere of exclusivity can be found at the New Emerald Cove Hotel, which occupies a truly secluded spot on the coastline of Praslin with no road links to the rest of the island. Complementary water-taxi services come as part of the services, as do fishing, snorkeling and various other excursions across the region. La Reserve Seychelles is a popular hotel for honeymooners and those seeking seclusion without mortgaging their home, located in the beautiful Anse Petite Cour Bay.

Though budget hotels in Praslin are a little thin on the ground, just like everywhere in Seychelles, there is still a number of fine options geared toward making the very most of whatever funds are available. For example, the Paradise Sun Hotel is considerable more affordable than most, though still offers large, deluxe waterfront rooms and villas, thematic restaurants and luscious, verdant tropical surroundings in the island's exclusive Cote D'Or Beach. Le Duc de Praslin is a perfect example of a small hotel that adds up too considerably more than the sum of its parts. Close to Cote D'Or Beach and around 20 minutes from the airport, Le Duc is famed for its stunning suites, varied water sports and gardens that feature n less than 100 varieties of orchids.

Many locations the world over preach their merits as true taste paradise, though few deliver on such promises with the consistency of the Seychelles. If there has to be a single location of paradise within paradise, Praslin is certainly it! From the rare jungle wildlife to the 900 fish species of the coral to the beaches consistently voted the very best in the world, Praslin is a small island with a level of wonder and beauty that is indeed anything but small. It would probably be fair to state that hotels of Praslin are far from the lowest priced holiday destinations to be found in the world today, though nowhere is it more true that visitors get what they pay for and much, much more besides.
