Anse Lazio – Praslin’s most beautiful beach

Praslin Island

Anse Lazio

You’ve come to the correct place if you’re seeking the nicest beach on Praslin Island in Seychelles. Anse Lazio is a tropical beach that seems like it was ripped straight from a photograph and brought to life. Anse Lazio, on the island’s northwest coast, is routinely regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.

It’s frequently likened to La Digue Island’s famous Anse Source d’Argent Beach. The large granite boulders of Anse Lazio, like those of its famed twin, dominate the landscape and are surrounded by coconut trees. Between your toes, the sand is white and silky, and the water is crystal clear.

But that’s the extent of the distinctions. The beach in Anse Lazio is enormous; there is so much sand that you won’t have to compete with other tourists for beach space. There’s also a lot to see and do. You’ll find small coves that are easy to access if you walk down the beach to the south end.

If you’re visiting Seychelles to relax on some of the world’s most gorgeous beaches, Anse Lazio is a must-see stop on your itinerary. It isn’t by chance that it is at the top of the list. Pink granite pebbles are strewn about over a ribbon of fine white sand that has been warmed by the sun. A bit further on, the turquoise-hued azure sea beckons you to have a dip and take in the scenery.

“It’s the most popular activity in Praslin for a reason,” wrote one TripAdvisor user. “Anse Lazio beach is large and beautiful, the snorkeling is excellent, and the vistas are breathtaking. On the beach, there are plenty of open spaces in both the sun and the shade. Because this is a busy beach, there are cautions concerning personal belongings, therefore everyone should keep a watch on their belongings. Please, as at any beach, take your trash with you when you leave. Buses carrying tourists will arrive and leave.”

The warm, crystal-clear waters of Anse Lazio will wrap you in a shroud of gentleness, not just for the eyes, but also for the body. The most gorgeous beach in Seychelles is no longer a secret treasure in this exquisite environment, far from the large concrete resorts. Every day, hundreds of visitors come to enjoy its lovely landscapes, which are easily accessible by road. Even though the beach is rarely crowded, early morning is the best time to swim and enjoy the peaceful and beautiful ambiance.

Visit the Honesty Bar

The Honesty Bar is a unique establishment that employs no waiters, waitresses, or bartenders. Customers simply take what they want and then just put the money in a mug. After a day at the beach, this pub overlooks a tiny cove, making it a fantastic spot for a peaceful, refreshing drink or two.

What is the best time to visit Anse Lazio?

Every day, hundreds of people come to enjoy the beautiful countryside, which is conveniently accessible by road. Despite the fact that the beach is rarely crowded, we recommend going early in the morning or late in the afternoon to enjoy the peace and quiet. This is the greatest time to avoid the throng and enjoy the peace and quiet of the location.

From April to August, the sunset on the neighboring islands is a must-see (Ile aux Fours and Ile Aride). A lovely and vivid show that will almost certainly leave you stunned.

This beach has lifeguards, which is unusual for Seychelles, and the water is flat and glassy for much of the year. However, the waves and currents on this beach can be dangerous at times, so use caution and caution if the sea looks turbulent.

On your way to Anse Lazio, you will pass the Raffles Resort and Anse Boudin. There is a small trail leading from Anse Lazio to Anse Georgette and the Constance Lemuria Resort.

Anse Lazio is one of the most beautiful Seychelles beaches in the world, only two restaurants, a bar, and two self-catering accommodations are close by.

How to get to the famous Anse Lazio beach?

Anse Lazio is located about 8 kilometres northwest of Baie Ste along the Chevalier Bay on Praslin’s north coast, Anne, the ferry port for Praslin, is accessible by car, bus, or bicycle from the island’s main road. The beach is open to the public at all times.

It’s simple to get here because it’s connected to the major coastal road, which is sealed and properly maintained. You have the option of taking a taxi ride, a bicycle or renting a car. Just be aware that the hill leading up to Anse Lazio becomes extremely steep near the end.

Additionally, just before you arrive, there is a significant slope down to the beach, if you walk on food, make sure you’re ready for the climb back up!

If you’re visiting Praslin and want to make the most of your time there, one of the best ways to do it is to combine a day excursion to Vallée de Mai with a visit to Anse Lazio. This is one of the greatest ways to spend a day on Praslin and will save you money on transportation.
