Destination Self-Catering

Twenty-four kilometres of pale granite coastline wrap Praslin, and Destination Self-Catering places guests squarely within the Grand Anse stretch, one of the island's longest accessible beaches.

Units are self-contained with full kitchens, allowing guests to cook with produce from the Grand Anse market rather than relying on hotel dining. The arrangement suits longer stays on an island where eating out every night strains most budgets.

Praslin's Vallée de Mai nature reserve, a UNESCO site sheltering the endemic coco de mer palm, sits roughly fifteen minutes by car. The Cat Cocos ferry linking Praslin to Mahé departs from Baie Sainte Anne, a short drive east along the coastal road.
