The island of Praslin is the second-largest island in the archipelago of the Republic of Seychelles in Africa in the Somali Sea. Praslin is a pristine destination that is emerging as a popular getaway for its beautiful beaches, varied activities including hiking in breathtaking mountains and scuba diving into unknown aquatic world. Here is a short guide to help you plan your trip to the island of Praslin.
Seychelles is well served by international flights from almost every country in the world. The flight from your country will land you at Seychelles International Airport on the island of Mahé, near the capital Victoria. From there, you can take a ferry or a small domestic plane to Praslin, both of which are very affordable. In Praslin, you will have the possibility to take buses and taxis to commute, but according to opinions from tourists, car rental is the best way. For accommodation, we offer you our incredible beach-front villa in Praslin, which can accommodate up to 10 people.
Rated as the best beach in Praslin, Anse Lazio is an absolute paradise. The turquoise water, the white sands that turns golden towards the evening and the calm and warm sea with gentle waves would be the perfect beach for you and your family to relax. The palm trees at the beach provides you with the most comfortable shade from the sun. Anse Lazio is also a perfect place for a picnic.
Cote D’or:
This beautiful beach is known for its panoramic views. The sand is powder soft and is bordered by palm trees. Often you will see fishermen in the sea as you walk along the beach. There are never too many people and you will always find serenity and peace under the warm sun while quenching your thirst with coconut water from freshly picked coconuts and decorated with hibiscus flowers.
Anse Georgette:

What makes the beach standout are the huge granite rocks standing right on the beach sand. The beach is surrounded by a private resort, but they allow tourists to access the beach through the resort. While you are arriving at the beach, first comes a little freshwater river where children can have a fun time then through a narrow green path you reach this beautiful beach.
