Most visitors fly into Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé Island, and travel on to Praslin via domestic flight, high-speed ferry, luxury yacht or private helicopter to our own helipad.

Our sustainable promise

At Raffles Seychelles, we care passionately about the archipelago we are proud to call home, and about preserving the islands for generations to come. Every aspect of the resort has been designed with sustainability and stewardship in mind. Five-stage filtration has allowed the resort to tap into alternative water resources, enabling us to implement a total ban on single-use plastic since 2019. Resort buggies run off hybrid power, and our lush tropical gardens have been carefully planted to encourage the growth of key species including the native – and endangered – Coco de Mer palm. Our menus are inspired by a farm-to-table approach; and we collaborate with the Marine Conservation Society on a coral rehabilitation project, creating a snorkelling trail for guests to discover our newly-constructed coral nurseries.

Escape to Praslin

Praslin Island is a bountiful tropical idyll brought vividly to life, with crystalline seas breaking upon palm-fringed shores and an interior dense with endemic flora and fauna. Everything that makes the Seychelles archipelago special is within easy reach – from richly-populated reefs for scuba diving and deep sea fishing, to secluded beaches and UNESCO-listed national parks. Step into the picture-postcard of Anse Lazio beach, or strike out on Vallée de Mai trails through 400-year-old coco de mer palms, found only on Praslin and neighbouring Curieuse. Take a curated tour by mini moke, luxury car, yacht or helicopter to give you the freedom to experience all this and more.
