Raffles Seychelles

A tropical retreat

Nestled on the northern coast of Praslin, Raffles is an eco-responsible enclave that immerses its guests in unspoiled tropical nature. From the moment you arrive, you will be captivated by the natural beauty of this paradise coast, where the azure blue of Anse Takamaka blends harmoniously with the emerald green of the tropical vegetation. Situated on the verdant slopes of Praslin's hills, the hotel's 87 villas embody elegance and refinement in a setting that is both contemporary and exotic. Whether offering ocean or garden views, all the villas feature a private pool and boast a generous living space of at least 125 m². The hotel's three restaurants, Curieuse, Losean and Sushi Rom, successfully blend Asian flavours, textures and aromas with the freshness of local produce grown on the island and fish caught in the Indian Ocean. Wellness is not only found on the plate, but also in the TechnoGym-equipped fitness centre, outdoors during group or private yoga sessions, and in one of the 13 treatment or massage pavilions. During the day, the hotel's focal point is split between the beach and the double infinity pool overlooking the deep blue sea. Finally, for the more adventurous, the concierge offers a-la-carte boat excursions, nature hikes and unique culinary experiences that allow you to discover all the richness and beauty of this utterly breath-taking archipelago.
