Palm Beach Hotel, Praslin has been built recently in the style of a grand plantation house with reasonably sized rooms and large spacious common parts and gardens.

Located towards the southern end of Grand Anse, Palm Beach Hotel is set right alongside what must be one the safest beaches in the Seychelles - certainly on Praslin Island - an ideal location for a young family. The hotel is also adjacent to the road that runs around the island, so the opportunity to see other parts of Praslin couldn't be easier as the local bus service passes the hotels front door.

Palm Beach, Praslin is situated a short 10 minute drive from Praslin International Airport and some 15 minutes from The Jetty on the southern tip of Praslin where the inter-island ferry from Mahe to Praslin terminates.

Palm Beach Hotel, Praslin has 16 comfortable rooms - all sea facing with veranda - and offers all the benefits of a well organised family hotel such as games room for billiards and table tennis. The four ground floor rooms open directly into the gardens that surround the swimming pool - affording excellent wheelchair access for those needing it. Dining at Palm Beach is frequently organised as themed buffet evenings although the hotel does offer a full a la carte menu. Breakfast is continental style on the hotels balcony overlooking the beach and sea.

With such a good safe beach, where water temperatures are higher than normal and sea levels generally quite shallow, from here is an ideal place to explore the coastline in one of the sea kayaks available for hire at the hotel. This particular site is also reknowned for its excellent fly fishing.

For those looking for something a little more than just the beach myMAPofSeychelles.com can, in conjunction with the hotel, organise walking expeditions into the interior for those that wish to explore the flora and fauna of Praslin in greater detail.

Palm Beach Hotel is a small family run property seeking to provide good value holidays for all - including young families. The owners have created a unique property style in a tranquil, safe beach environment - a good Seychelles family holiday location.
