The property

All-villa, hillside, butler service

Raffles is laid out across a slope above the bay, so every villa has a plunge pool and an outlook over the water toward the neighbouring islands. It is the most straightforwardly comfortable luxury option on Praslin — large villas, a big spa, a proper kids' club — and it works well as the second leg of a Mahé-Praslin-La Digue itinerary. Anse Lazio, another of the island's famous beaches, is a short drive away.

Where you sleep

13 villa categories

All villas, each with private plunge pool and outdoor pavilion. Which one is right depends on the month and who is travelling — that is the first thing we will ask.

What makes it itself

Why people choose it

  1. 01

    A private beach

    The sand in front of the resort is its own, so the walk from your room to the water crosses nobody else.

  2. 02

    A full spa

    Treatments on the property — massage, steam room, sauna, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.

  3. 03

    Diving and snorkelling

    Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.

  4. 04

    A children's club

    Supervised hours for the children, which is the difference between a holiday and a fortnight of childcare with a view.
