It is perhaps one of the most special things I have done in all our travels. At sunrise I get up and cycle across the island. Slowly it awakens. There is a light breeze, and I can smell the faint mist rising from the jungle on the steep slopes. I take it all in; trying hard to imprint the impressions in my memory forever.

We can't help it, but our first association is Jurassic Park: jungle overgrown granite rocks flow seamlessly into the deep blue-green ocean.

Walking with beers and cans of Coke to our own secluded beach; we stay in a beautiful rental villa on Praslin in the Seychelles. Now we know why the name of our villa is so appropriate: the sunset is magnificent on this side of the island. Praslin was once known as a hideout for pirates. When you visit, you will quickly see why they liked to hide here. With white sandy beaches, swaying palm trees and a wonderful climate, everyone wants to be here: pirates as well as law abiding tourists. Read more…
When British officer Charles George Gordon visited the Vallée de Mai nature reserve on Praslin, he was convinced that this had once been the site of the Garden of Eden, the residence of Adam and Eve. We have the same feeling arriving for our visit to Raffles Seychelles. Surrounded by pristine beaches, framed by forests and clear ocean waters, it is no wonder we get visions of paradise. Our daughters are also extremely excited, especially about the fact that the resort features the largest swimming pool in the Indian Ocean with a length of forty-five meters. Read more…
