Where they are

  • Côte d'Or and Anse Volbert: the tourism board calls this Praslin's main beach resort and describes it as the beach with the most booked resorts along its shore. Its family beach guide notes numerous beachfront hotels, with shops and places to eat nearby, and kayaks and glass-bottom boats; Whitetip Divers works from the beach at Côte d'Or. At the Côte d'Or end, Anse Gouvernement lies between Côte d'Or Lodge and Hotel L'Archipel.
  • Anse Kerlan and Anse Georgette: the tourism board says Constance Lemuria gives direct access to Anse Georgette, and that Anse Kerlan and Petite Anse Kerlan are part of the resort.
  • Anse Takamaka: Raffles Seychelles has villas in beachfront gardens here as well as on the hillside.

What beachfront means

Some hotels open straight onto the sand; others sit across a road or above the beach on a slope. Ask how far your room is from the water and whether a road lies in between.

Choosing by season

UK government travel advice (checked 16 September 2026) says west coasts are generally unsafe for swimming during the north-west monsoon, around December to March, and east coasts during the south-east winds, around May to September. The Seychelles Meteorological Authority adds that from June to September, beaches facing south and south-east collect weed. At Anse Kerlan, the tourism board notes strong currents at certain times of year and says the hotel advises guests on swimming.

Questions

Where are Praslin's beachfront hotels concentrated?
The tourism board describes Côte d'Or and Anse Volbert as Praslin's main beach resort, with many hotels and guesthouses along the beach.
Can you swim in front of beachfront hotels all year?
It depends on the season. Conditions change with the monsoons, and UK government travel advice (checked 16 September 2026) says west and east coasts are each unsafe in different seasons. Ask your hotel.
