Raffles is a 20-25 minute drive from Praslin airport. Check in lobby is an expansive ocean view that looks like a painting. I had a brief stay at Oceanview Villa, the villa has its own private pool, and you get breathtaking ocean view from the room and from the bathroom. Raffles is a relatively new hotel, thus the vegetation is... More

We decided to celebrate our 48th anniverary and picked the Seychelle islands. After much research we found that Praslin had what we wanted and that Raffles sounded like a perfect place for us. We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice! Everything from reservations to the last tearful goodbye was amazing. Our villa, 186, was exactly what we were... More

All in all we had a wonderful week long vacation in the beautiful Seychelle Islands. The Raffles Resort is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views. Positives about the resort: Our villa was outstanding. It was clean, comfortable, and functional. Everything (other than the VCR on the last day) worked perfectly. Our Villa (183) was in a great location with no other... More

While organizing our holiday I spent a lot of time and effort in finding the perfect hotel for us, we knew we want to go to the Seychelles but nothing closer.... More

Raffles Praslin is another great new Raffles property. The hotel is very well located on Praslin island. 10min from Ferry port and 20min from Praslin airport. "Before I did the booking I was bit unsure due many other strange tripadvisor comments. The resort is not matured enough and the service is not good. " Please believe me this is totally... More

Facilities and services can be very nice, beach too but I can't endorse such a behavior to the island and the islanders. Thumbs up too for the authorities who tolerate this. The Raffle is located on half of the hill to such an extent that the landscape from the other side of the bay is totally disfigured. From anse petite... More
