This small, cosy, family-run hotel on Praslin lies near to Grande Anse, a wonderful beach in the west of the island. The Britannia is well-known for its friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and it takes its name from the British colonial history of the Seychelles. Perhaps because of this historical legacy, the hotel has managed to keep its traditional feel, especially when it comes to cuisine.

The hotel offers superior rooms, a bar, and a restaurant that serves both Creole and international cuisine. All of the superior rooms come equipped with air-conditioning, a mini fridge, and a TV. Once outside, you'll quickly find that the Britannia hotel is the ideal starting point for tours of the island by bike, or for excursions to some of Praslin's neighbouring islands. The main reason for this is the hotel's close proximity to a small village, which offers, besides supermarkets, a number of places to buy excursions. Trips from here should cost around €60 per person, although prices can vary. This usually includes a four-hour boat trip to an offshore island, perhaps with a beach barbeque included.

The friendly native owner of the Britannia Hotel will be of great help when it comes to organising excursions, or with guests' questions, comments, and enquiries.
