Description:

One of the most impressive hotels in the Seychelles is Raffles, located on Praslin. The resort offers extensive luxury in a first-class location, right on the beach at Anse Takamaka. Guests are truly spoilt, with several restaurants, a spa area, yoga space, and private swimming pools just some of the things on offer.

The different villas of the hotel are all equipped with the finest interiors, and their size and exclusivity just add to their charm. Each villa has a spacious balcony with sundeck, pool, and relaxation area. Additionally, there's a butler service available to all guests, as well as other luxuries such as limousine transfers and a CD/DVD library.

The four hotels of the resort offer different culinary delights and stand out thanks to their quality and variety. We recommend trying out each one during your stay, as they are all unique in their own way and offer something different. If guests would rather dine in their own villas, room service will happily serve a mixture of international and Creole dishes on their private veranda.

The large spa area is unique on Praslin, offering a variety of pampering treatments and massages in one of the treatment pavillions. Enjoy ocean views as you let your cares wash away with a relaxing treatment. The exercise room and specially-created yoga area take care of your fitness and well-being, and guests can also prepare for their evening with an appointment in the beauty salon.

Raffles also has much to offer families with children. Besides the Kids Club (suitable for all ages and run by a professional team), children have plenty to keep them busy, including the swimming pools and the marvellous beach.

All in all, Raffles is a sprawling oasis of calm embedded in the impressive Seychelles landscape, and the resort truly has something to offer anyone and everyone.
