Raffles Praslin

Hillside living with a contemporary feel

Situated on the second-largest island in the archipelago, Raffles Praslin is home to 86 villas, all with plunge pools and butler service, dotted over a hillside overlooking the sea. Decor is sleek and contemporary, cuisine spans a global remit with local, Asian and Western options, and the general service is slickly efficient. The spa is the largest in the Seychelles, while the two infinity pools offer a nice alternative to the idyllic white sand beach.
