Hidden away in enchanted seclusion amongst lush green hillsides and sparkling sands, The Raffles Praslin provides the unrivalled levels of hospitality and luxury for which the Raffles name is renowned. The sprawling resort covers 30 acres at the northern tip of the island, which is so magically beautiful that it has been nominated as the site of the Garden of Eden, and it delivers amenities that fully live up to the perfection of its surroundings. It has won many awards, including the World's Leading Luxury Villa Resort at the World Travel Awards in both 2013 and 2014.
The sleek urban style of the resort looks rather startling at first sight, but once visitors arrive at the vaulted open-air reception, and check in at one of the sublime villas - check-in takes place in-room here - it becomes clear that it is designed for comfort at every level. Features of the island al-fresco lifestyle have been transformed into stylish resort chic, through the skilful use of wood and natural materials, blended with Seychellois influences. More than 100,000 new plantings are gradually softening the outlines, and helping the resort to harmonise with its tropical surroundings.
Exceptional dining options here include the Losean Restaurant - the name is Creole for The Ocean -- for all-day dining, with seafood and Mediterranean delights on the menu, and Curieuse, with its island-chic atmosphere, for seafood and Pan-Asian specialities, as well as a Sushi Bar. The inviting Pool Restaurant and Bar, open throughout the day, showcases local flavours and fresh dishes highlighting the essence of Creole and Seychelles food culture. The hotel enjoys the services of a top Michelin-starred chef, with a passion for combining the best of Seychelles cuisine with influences from around the world.
However, guests are not limited to dining at the restaurants, delightful though they are. As well as the 24-hour in-room dining service, the hotel can arrange for you to dine wherever you wish - on board a yacht, in the garden, on the beach, or on top of a granite boulder. There are even tailor-made romantic experiences for couples, such as a private sunset dinner at nearby Anse Lazio, one of the world's most beautiful beaches.
