Raffles Seychelles

SET ON THE PRISTINE WHITE SAND BEACHES OF ANSE TAKAMAKA BAY, ON THE NORTH EASTERN COAST OF IDYLLIC PRASLIN ISLAND, RAFFLES SEYCHELLES DELIVERS THE TROPICAL ISLAND EXPERIENCE PAR EXCELLENCE. SPACIOUS VILLAS ARE SCATTERED ACROSS A LUSH HILLSIDE AND ALL INCLUDE A PRIVATE DECK WITH OUTDOOR LIVING AREA AND PLUNGE POOL, AND THE RENOWNED SERVICE THAT IS SO SYNONYMOUS WITH THE RAFFLES BRAND IS MORE THAN IN EVIDENCE HERE TOO.

LOCATION: On Praslin Island, accessed via a 15-minute flight from Mahé to Praslin airport, followed by a 30-minute drive; or take a short helicopter flight from Mahé directly to the resort.

ACCOMMODATION: The 86 stylishly-appointed villas are among the most spacious in the Seychelles, each boasting a private plunge pool, balcony, outdoor pavilion, both an indoor shower and outdoor rain shower, plus a bath positioned to make the most of the stunning vistas. Amenities include a flat screen TV, bluetooth stereo, WiFi access, Nespresso machine and a private bar. Villas either have garden, partial or full views of the ocean, depending on their position on the hillside; the Panoramic Pool Villas are located at the very top, providing a breathtaking vantage point from which to gaze out across the azure waters towards the neighbouring islands. Larger one- and two-bedroom villas, including the exclusive Two Bedroom Beachfront Pool Villas, are also available and additionally include 24-hour butler service, a separate living area, kitchenette, and outdoor terrace. RESTAURANTS & BARS: Losean restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner, and serves classic Mediterranean, fresh seafood and Indian Ocean-inspired dishes in the evenings, while the elegant but relaxed Curieuse presents a taste of Asia with dishes from India, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia, plus a sushi room. The Pool Restaurant & Bar provides a more casual setting for lunch, with Creole specialities such as Seychellois curry and fresh seafood on offer, as well as lighter options, such as salads and sandwiches. In the evening Danzil Lounge offers a selection of fine wines, rums and cocktails, or chill out at the rooftop Takamaka Terrace, where you can enjoy a mojito under the stars.

FACILITIES: Cool off in the double infinity pool, or let go of your troubles at the soothing Raffles Spa, offering 12 treatment pavilions, including a couples’ spa suite. Resort activities include hiking, and watersports such as snorkelling, kayaking, sailing, diving and fishing. There’s also the excellent Sugar Palm Club, with separate areas for teenagers, children aged 4-12 yrs and infants. Golf is available at an 18-hole championship course nearby, or you can take advantage of the complimentary paddle boards and kayaks. We also recommend visiting Anse Lazio beach, a picture-perfect paradise of soft white sands, framed by classic Seychellois granite boulders.

EXPERT VIEW

- If you’re looking for a dining experience with a difference, there’s no shortage of options here: a romantic candlelit meal under the stars, a dinner prepared by the resort’s chef in the privacy of your own villa, or even a trip to a neighbouring island for a barbecue on the beach

- As well as being the perfect place for romance, Raffles Seychelles makes a great family getaway, with the expansive villas giving families plenty of space to spread out - If you can tear yourself away from the resort, we recommend taking the 10-minute boat ride to the wild, unspoilt, little Curieuse Island, home to almost 500 giant tortoises, mangrove swamps and many rare bird species
