The Situation
Situated on the west coast of Praslin, the new Villas de Mer occupies a prime site on the island's longest beach, facing the islands of Cousin and Cousine.

The fully renovated Villas de Mer Hotel now offers a total of 10 mini suites, all sea facing, of which seven are located in three villas and three are in a plantation-style house.

The Ambiance
Part of the 'Hôtels de Charme' network of Seychelles properties, the Villas de Mer is a haven of peace and tranquillity, close to the bustling heart of Grand'Anse.

Guests can spend the day criss-crossing the island's footpaths, visiting the Garden of Eden (Vallée de Mai) or exploring the neighbouring islands of Aride, Cousin, Curieuse and La Digue. Or you can admire a beautiful sunset while enjoying a tropical cocktail before dinner.

So come and discover the many wonderful things that Praslin Island has to offer.

The Mini Suites
Freshness, eco-harmony and a tasteful blend of colours are the key ingredients for a comfortable stay. There are 10 spacious mini suites (with two communicating rooms) all with sitting area, private terrace, air conditioning, ventilators, minibar, TV, en-suite bathroom with bath/shower, hair dryer and tea/coffee making facilities. Most bedrooms can accommodate up to two adults and one or two children

The Commodities
You can enjoy excellent Creole and European dishes at the seaview beach restaurant, which is managed by Lydia Lablache, of the Britannia Hotel, also known for its good cuisine. On the beach, a kiosk offers fresh locally caught fish, snacks and salads.

Sports and excursions (with supplement) can be organised on request at nearby establishments. They include deepsea fishing, scuba diving and excursions to neighbouring islands. There is free transport to all of the island's scuba diving centres.

The Villa de Mer is only five minutes by car from the Lémuria Hotel, where the island's only 18-hole golf course is located.

Seaweed is removed daily from the beaches during the South East Monsoon (May to October). There is free transport to Anse Volbert and Anse Lazio beaches.
