The trade winds between June and September will wash up some seaweed on the beach of this accommodation. This may make the water a little cloudy but also provides yet more evidence that the underwater world around the Seychelles is in top health.

Trips to some of the best snorkelling and diving territories around Praslin, as well as a traditional Creole barbeque on a secluded Seychelles beach are just some of the other tours on offer thanks to the couple.
The tours are bookable on-site and subject to availability (fees apply).

Description:

The Amitié Chalets are run by a very internationally-oriented American-Seychellois couple. They are also related to the owners of the Beach Villas Guesthouse, which is located just a few hundred metres down the beach from the Amitié Chalets. Both properties are similarly-built and feature the typical Seychelles-Guesthouse-Style. They are located on the beach close to each other.

The owner and his wife, run the Amitié Chalets in a familial manner, something you'll feel as soon as you arrive, and remember long after your stay. If you have any questions about the Seychelles, or if you want to take a tour or a trip on a boat, just ask! Guests often have a rather hard time saying goodbye after spending a holiday with this helpful and accommodating couple. They are making these chalets a truly wonderful place for a Seychelles holiday on Praslin, offering a great atmosphere and real value-for-money.

Each of the chalets is built facing the ocean, with a small private veranda in front. All of them also offer a small private area where you can relax and enjoy the view of the ocean, and just a few steps away is the fine, white sand of Praslin's Grand Anse, making the outdoor surroundings of the chalets a real joy to behold.

Please note: Between May and October/November, there may be a build-up of seaweed on Grand Anse, depending on the weather. Although the sparkling surface of the beach does suffer a little because of this, it gives guests a great reason to visit one of Praslin's many other stunning beaches, which can easily be reached by rental car, taxi, or bus. In fact, there's even a rental car company located near to the Amitié Chalets, who offer car rental for around €40/day.

Just a few minutes' drive down the road from the chalets is the UNESCO Vallée de Mai nature reserve. This sensational rainforest area is well-worth a visit, and definitely deserving of its world heritage status. Any additional tours or excursions can be outlined by the owners, and you can even plan excursions on an individual basis. You'll quickly come to realise that everyone does their best to make you feel right at home during your stay at the Amitié Chalets.
