How much there is

The tourism board's 2026 self-catering article says Praslin has more than 150 licensed self-catering lodgings, and that self-catering makes up about 77% of licensed accommodation establishments across Seychelles. Its website listed 76 self-catering properties on Praslin on 16 September 2026, so the website shows only part of what is licensed.

What to expect

The tourism board says most self-catering properties come with a kitchen, utensils, Wi-Fi and air conditioning, and some add laundry facilities and barbecue areas. Its examples on Praslin include Côte d'Or Footprints, open since 2014, with 12 chalets and a villa with a private pool on Anse Volbert, and Palm Holiday Apartments, opened in 2020, with eight apartments with full kitchens and pools two minutes from Grand Anse beach. It also notes food delivery options on Praslin.

Resort villas

At the top end, villas come with hotel service. Raffles Seychelles at Anse Takamaka has 87 private pool villas, and Constance Lemuria at Anse Kerlan has villas with private pools. These are hotel rooms rather than self-catering.

How to choose

  • Location: Côte d'Or and Grand Anse put shops, restaurants and beaches within reach. Elsewhere, check how you will get to a shop.
  • Transport: car hire is available on Praslin, and public buses only take small bags.
  • Timing: the tourism board says demand is high from December to April and from July to September, so book early for those months.
  • Sustainability: the tourism board suggests looking for the Sustainable Seychelles label in its listings.
