Explore Praslin

Discover the relaxed rhythm of Praslin

From Baie Sainte Anne the island opens up in every direction: a primeval palm forest inland, long beaches to the north, and the ferry to La Digue just down the road.

From the guesthouse

  • Baie Sainte Anne jetty 1 km
  • Vallée de Mai 3 km
  • Anse Volbert (Côte d’Or) 4 km
  • Praslin Airport 9 km

Distances are approximate.

  • Dense palm forest in the Vallée de Mai, with tall trunks, giant fan-shaped leaves and thick green undergrowth. About 3 km

    UNESCO World Heritage Site

    Vallée de Mai

    An ancient palm forest and the natural home of the coco de mer. Shaded trails wind beneath giant fan-shaped leaves — listen for the rare Seychelles black parrot.

  • Anse Lazio: pale sand and turquoise water, with granite boulders in the shallows, yachts at anchor and a wooded headland under a blue sky. By car

    Beach

    Anse Lazio

    Praslin’s most celebrated beach: a sweep of pale sand and clear water framed by smooth granite boulders, on the island’s north-western tip.

  • A coconut palm leaning out over the sand and clear water at Anse Volbert, with small islets on the horizon. About 4 km

    Beach

    Anse Volbert · Côte d’Or

    A long, gentle bay of soft sand and calm water, lined with places to eat and the starting point for many boat excursions.

  • Sunset over the harbour jetty, with a covered shelter and parked cars on the quay and a yacht anchored in the bay. About 1 km

    Ferry jetty

    Baie Sainte Anne Harbour

    Praslin’s inter-island jetty, where the ferries to Mahé and La Digue come and go — handy on arrival day and for island-hopping.

  • Aerial view of a La Digue beach, with giant weathered granite boulders and palms above pale sand and clear shallow water. By ferry

    Island excursion

    La Digue day trips

    A short ferry crossing from the Baie Sainte Anne jetty brings you to La Digue, an island of bicycles, quiet lanes and the sculpted boulders of Anse Source d’Argent.
