A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Since its debut, Raffles Seychelles has matured into one of the Indian Ocean’s most sought-after luxury escapes, with its lush, meticulously maintained grounds now offering an oasis of tropical beauty. Situated on the pristine Praslin Island, this renowned resort is ideally positioned for guests seeking both natural wonders and refined hospitality. Praslin is celebrated globally for the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai, home to the unique Coco de Mer palm, centuries-old endemic flora, and the elusive Seychelles black parrot. Travelers arriving on Mahé can reach Raffles Seychelles by private helicopter directly to the resort’s helipad, via a swift 15-minute inter-island flight followed by a 25-minute scenic drive, or by ferry with a picturesque transfer across turquoise waters and a short drive onward.
The property features 86 expansive villas ranging from one- to two-bedroom configurations, each with private pools and panoramic views, starting at an impressive 125 square metres and extending to even grander layouts. Nestled along Anse Takamaka, the resort offers effortless access to the iconic Anse Lazio beach—frequently ranked among the world’s most beautiful. From many vantage points on the property, guests can gaze across to the untouched Curieuse Island, a sanctuary for native wildlife and rare flora. Resort amenities include a world-class spa with 13 treatment suites, two spectacular 45-metre infinity pools, and the vibrant Sugar Palm Club for children and teens. The expert concierge and dedicated villa butlers can coordinate exclusive experiences, such as tee times at the nearby Constance Lémuria Golf Course, acclaimed for its championship layout and ocean vistas. Culinary options abound: Losean presents an exceptional daily breakfast buffet and island-inspired dinners, Curieuse tempts with contemporary Asian cuisine, and the Sushi Room serves authentic Japanese delicacies crafted by master chefs. Throughout our recent stay, we experienced Raffles’ signature intuitive service—making this resort an outstanding destination for discerning couples and families alike.
