Hotels near Praslin Island Airport - PRI, Grand Anse

Lovely sandy crescent beach with calm waters for swimming. Small village with a good selection of restaurants, from take-aways to higher end cuisine. Be aware that some restaurants and businesses ( i.e., kayak rental/ tour excursions) close in the low season of May-early June. It is a popular and very convenient starting point for day-trips to Curieuse Island and snorkelling outings to the offshore islands.

Beautiful tropical island. We visited it in late August, the temperature is about 25-27 degrees C all day long and there is a very pleasant breeze, no rain. Beaches and nature are just stunning, the sand is white and soft as flour, the water is warm and clean, worth visiting each one of them. I did not notice bugs or any other nasty insects as well. To reach the island, you better take the plane, the boat trip is quite bumpy and suffocating, you risk the get sea sick, even if you normally are not. On the island itself you better rent a car, there is no other way to get around the island. You can do also some hiking if you get tired of sun and beaches. People are nice and not invasive at all, also it is quite clean everywhere. On the downside is the fact that there is not much choice of restaurants and dining solutions. The restaurants are few and very expensive, same is valid for the shops which offer scarce choice of products. Also, after sunset there is not much to do, no bars or nightlife, so you better find a nice guesthouse or resort that offer various activities and services.

Had a absolutely brilliant time at this hotel. The service is absolutely impeccable, the food is spectacular and the beaches are gorgeous. Flawless food, drinks, desserts with high variation and themed dinners. But what is unique about this hotel and the whole chain of Constance Hotels is the approach and homely atmosphere. You feel the difference against the famous brands almost immediately and it is a pleasant finding. The second thing you expect in a hotel of this type is the staff. I had a lot of situations, when the difference in the experience was only on the staff and I do not want to forget about anyone, but whether it was a group taking care of breakfast and dinner - Marcus, Jodi, Camilla, Davis, Arvind, Jamie, Titon, or a beach group taking care about visitors like Jose, everyone did everything to make the guest feel as good as possible. I must have forgotten someone, but thanks to everyone who does everything to make your stay unforgettable. The third trump card is the environment and the surrounding nature. The surroundings are breathtaking, whether you are a golfer or not, golf courses will be the subject of many photos. Anse Georgette is perhaps the most beautiful beach on Praslin, and certainly one of the best in the Seychelles thanks to its incredible mixture of pristine white sand, bright turquoise ocean surface and tropical palm trees which is accessible through this hotel. With Anze Lazio is one of the best beaches in the world. Be sure not to miss them. I would not like to forget either about the possibility of exchanging a few words with the general manager over the glass, which is another example of doing things a little differently and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to see behind the curtain. It was very good and it was too short in the end. That's why I believe we'll see each other again at some point.

Grande Anse itself has a good beach for safe snorkelling round the rocks, a small convenience store and good snack bar. Quiet and off the beaten track. Frequent bus service, but recommend a car. Praslin is small enough to get around in an hour, superb beaches, swimming, snorkelling. Well worth a guided tour of one of the forest walks - get a personal guide for a very reasonable price.

Anse Lazio is a beautiful beach, perhaps the most beautiful in Seychelles, but there are many on the Praslin Island. I enjoy nearby beach Anse Boudin very much, especially that it wasn't visited at all, me and my wife were only guests. In the afternoon, at high tide, when the wind causes high waves, the beach get flood though.

Perfect place to stay longer from where you can go visit other places like Curieuse island (turtle island), many snorkelling places (but you have to go for a trip, you can not snorkell straight from the beach), other places to visit are reachable by car - a lot of car rentals there. We loved Les Lauriers Eco hotel, stayed there for 10 nights - amazing place to stay and we ate there also - you will understand after dinner why they usually are fully booked and it is better to book a place there in advance.
