Our Expert’s Highlights
Welcome to the Raffles Seychelles Resort is situated on Praslin, Seychelles’ second-largest island after Mahé. The 86 villas are tucked away in the lush tropical greenery. Green mountains rise behind them, while the waves of the crystal-clear ocean crash into the lovely bay of Takamaka in front of them.
After a 15-minute trip by tiny plane from Mahé’s main island, you’ll be greeted by this scenery after a 30-minute vehicle ride or a 15-minute helicopter ride to the resort’s own landing spot. Even if you’re a seasoned traveler, this will steal your breath away for a time. As soon as you arrive, you will understand what it means to be a Raffles Resort guest, as the service is second to none.
Nonetheless, you will have complete privacy during your stay. This resort is a wonderful location because it offers nine various types of villas, including two-bedroom villas, as well as recreational facilities. It’s not just for couples; it’s also for whole families. The private pool on the terrace is the focal point of every villa that has been painstakingly and lavishly designed.
With calming tranquility and a wonderful perspective, this is the ideal location to unwind. You can work up a sweat with a Pilates lesson or go exploring beneath the surface of the water if you need a change of pace between peaceful hours. Raffles offers a wide range of activities, ensuring that every guest finds something they enjoy. The enticing Mediterranean, Asian, and traditional Creole cuisines on the menus at Raffles Seychelles restaurants add to the variety.
In gorgeous surroundings, savor the varied menu and superb cocktails. Exclusive spa treatments at Raffles’ magnificent wellness center, as well as delicious idleness, can be added to your pleasant days here.

This 86-villa luxury resort is packed like a garrison town across the north-eastern slopes of Praslin and offers its international clientele five-star service and a dizzying array of amenities, including Seychelles’ largest pool.
Raffles Seychelles: An Inside Look At The Pinnacle Of Island Luxury
bosshunting.com.au
The unmistakably beautiful Raffles, a large establishment of 5-star ultra-pedigree, is located in a remote tropical dreamland on one of the 115 Seychellois islands. We crossed the Indian Ocean to see Raffles Seychelles, the purest expression of island luxury, for ourselves, and as you’ll see, we were completely smitten from the start.
Celebrating 2021’s Hospitality Stars

Raffles Seychelles saved team members’ employment when it closed during the pandemic by lowering all pay while continuing to offer housing and meals. Only ten of the 300 employees were let go after their contracts expired. When the situation improved, the hotel gave all employees a bonus, a first in the business’s 10-year history.

Conclusion
The magnificent Raffles Seychelles, located on a hillside overlooking Anse Takamaka sea on Praslin’s east coast, caters mostly to honeymooners and couples seeking tranquility. The 86 villas are modern in style and spacious, with outside pavilions with dining and lounge rooms as well as private plunge pools.
The resort has its own small white sand beach, but Praslin is recognized for its stunning beaches, with one of the world’s best just a 10-minute drive away. Because of the resort’s secluded position, guests will need a car to explore the sleepy island, but the amenities – three restaurants, a spa, and the largest infinity pool in the Indian Ocean – make staying on-site convenient. The Constance Lemuria Resort is a good alternative for those looking for a smaller hotel at a lesser price, the Hotel L’Archipel is a good option.
