Information about Praslin Island

Praslin is the second largest inhabited island, and is seven miles by roughly two and a half. The striking coral reefs are mere striplings, perhaps six to eight thousand years old. But they are teeming with life; a landscape painted in the myriad colours of living coral, jewel like shells, and an amazing nine hundred species of fish.

It is the home to one of Seychelles' two World Heritage Sites - the  Vallee de Mai - a primeval rainforest containing the famous Coco de Mer palms, which have the largest, heaviest and most suggestively shaped nuts in the world and delights ornithologists with glimpses of some of the world's rarest birds, like the black parrot and fruit pigeon. Vanilla orchids, a variety of lizards and some of earth's rarest birds also reside there. Praslin, though small, more than warrants exploration. Thanks to its geography, it is also the ideal place from which to visit many of the other islands.

Vallee de Mai National Park is situated on Praslin. This park is one of the Seychelles biggest attractions with the well known Coco-de-mer, the world's largest coconut. The park also has a path through the fantastic rain forest where you can see very rare species of birds.

Anse Lazio in the north has been selected as one of the world's most beautiful beaches on many occasions, and quite rightly! The waves are pretty big here between May and September and surfing is excellent at that time.The area surrounding Anse Lazio is regulated as a national park and building permission for hotels has therefore been difficult to obtain, which can only be a good thing! Most of the other islands are only a short distance from Praslin, so it's an excellent place to use as a base for a holiday to the Seychelles.

The island's favourite beach, Anse Lazio, is one of the world's most exquisite, but the entire island is ringed with beautiful secluded beaches, sporting coral reefs and crystal clear waters. There are a few villages sprinkled across the island, housing the permanent population of a few thousand souls, most of whom work in the hotels and resorts or depend on fishing for a livelihood.
