Praslin is a laid-back, breathtakingly beautiful, and romantic island in the Seychelles that is home to some of the world's best beaches, including Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette, as well as immaculate white-sand beaches, turquoise oceans, and lush tropical forests. It is the archipelago's second-largest island, offering a quieter, more relaxed pace of life than Mahé but yet providing modern facilities and convenient access to snorkelling and boating trips.
Things to do in Praslin - Overnight onboard:
Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve
The Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve on Praslin Island, is a living "Garden of Eden" and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The reserve contains a natural palm forest that has remained essentially unchanged for thousands of years, giving visitors the impression of stepping back in time. It's a lush, cool, and shaded palm forest known for its huge Coco de Mer nuts and uncommon Black Parrots.
World-Class Beaches
Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette on Praslin Island are postcard-perfect tropical paradises with fine white sand, turquoise waves, and a distinctive granite boulder, frequently named among the world's top beaches. Anse Lazio is easily accessible, lively, and known for its superb swimming, but Anse Georgette provides a private, tranquil "hidden paradise" experience accessible by scenic walk or boat.
Curieuse Island
A day trip to Curieuse Island is usually regarded as a highlight of any Seychelles holiday, providing a combination of wildlife encounters, light adventure, and breathtaking coastal scenery. Located within a 10-15 minute boat journey from Praslin, it is well known for being home to around 200-300 Aldabra giant tortoises that roam freely across the island. You may closely view them, feed them leaves, and visit a tortoise nursery.

Being just 3 km wide and 5 km long, it really is the definition of a hidden gem among the tropical holiday hotspots in the region. With beautiful beaches and shallow seas only accessible by foot, a rich nature reserve home to an array of endemic species and diverse wildlife, and some sensational seafood restaurants, this laid-back destination will be one you won’t soon forget.
