PRASLIN ISLAND

Tranquil, laidback atmosphere

Praslin Island

Dotting the Indian Ocean, Praslin Island is the second largest of the Seychelles’ islands and boasts a tranquil, laidback atmosphere. Stretching for almost 40 square kilometres, the island landscape features lush tropical jungle, fringed by pristine world-famous beaches lapped by crystal-clear turquoise waters. According to local legend, the island served as a pirate hideout throughout the 18th century, and today it is a popular resort holiday destination.

Praslin is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Vallee de Mai Nature Reserve with its groves of ancient coco de mer palms which produce the largest seeds in the plant kingdom. Popular activities include: turtle and tortoise spotting, snorkelling, diving and boating.

Best time to travel to the Seychelles

The climate at the Seychelles completes it as a tropical destination. There is sunshine throughout the year, but there can be rainfal every day. The heaviest rainfall can occur between November and March.
