Very nice beach when it’s high tide. The water is warmer and calmer than in other sides of the island , although there is good amount of seaweeds. Snorkelling is average comparing to other beaches. Beautiful sunsets though!

Praslin is cool with their national park and it seems cheaper than Mahé. If you want to splurge on a meal I recommend the Les Rochers, excellent! Curry crab entree is amazing! Takeaways are great filling meals that probably can get two meals out of. Curry fish and octopus are a must. For a massage please do not go to island stress relief nor sadly I can not remember the ladies name at Bliss neither are worth the time nor money. The buses are the best way to get around sadly they stop running at 7. After that taxi are your best bet. If you want a chill relax experience I suggest taking the ferry to La Digue. And spend more than a day like I did. It really is the most beautiful of the three main islands.

beautiful surroundings, close to everywhere. The only minus is Africans unwilling to work ( fake rasta ), sitting at shops and the beach drinking bears and just waiting to take money from you. do not do any business with them.

Praslin has a relaxing vibe, it feels like it's never too busy. You can do some nice hiking, for example from Mont Plasier to Anse Georgette and then to Anse Lazio. We visited the Fond Ferdinand park, which is a really nice place to visit. The guide tells a lot about nature, you can see the coco de mer palmtrees and the view from the viewpoint is great. The island is not so big you can also visit a lot when you travel by bus. It's smart to see the schedule for the bus first, because sometimes there is some time between busses to arrive. And sometimes they arrive 10 minutes early, so beware of that.

If you are looking to relax in a quiet place away from the busy streets this is the ideal place. The beach across the street from the property is excellent for swimming and relaxing, very private . You need to get a rental car or come prepared with basic stuff like drinking water and food as the shops are far away and get the bus schedules.

Beautiful tropical island. We visited it in late August, the temperature is about 25-27 degrees C all day long and there is a very pleasant breeze, no rain. Beaches and nature are just stunning, the sand is white and soft as flour, the water is warm and clean, worth visiting each one of them. I did not notice bugs or any other nasty insects as well. To reach the island, you better take the plane, the boat trip is quite bumpy and suffocating, you risk the get sea sick, even if you normally are not. On the island itself you better rent a car, there is no other way to get around the island. You can do also some hiking if you get tired of sun and beaches. People are nice and not invasive at all, also it is quite clean everywhere. On the downside is the fact that there is not much choice of restaurants and dining solutions. The restaurants are few and very expensive, same is valid for the shops which offer scarce choice of products. Also, after sunset there is not much to do, no bars or nightlife, so you better find a nice guesthouse or resort that offer various activities and services.
