'This is where French elegance meets tropical paradise - Raffles Seychelles sits on one of the world's most photographed beaches, where granite boulders sculpt a coastline that's been millions of years in the making.'
What's Special?
Each of the 86 villas features a private plunge pool and is nestled within a UNESCO World Heritage site. The resort sits on Praslin Island, home to the legendary Vallée de Mai - the only place on Earth where the rare coco de mer palm grows naturally, producing the world's largest seed that takes 7 years to mature.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the Panoramic Pool Villa for unobstructed views of Curieuse Island, and time your stay during the southeast trade winds (May-September) for the calmest seas and best snorkeling conditions at nearby Anse Lazio.
Don't Miss
The resort's position on Anse Takamaka beach provides direct access to some of the Indian Ocean's most pristine coral gardens. Take the complimentary boat transfer to nearby Curieuse Island to walk among giant Aldabra tortoises - some over 100 years old - in their natural habitat.
