Villas Des Alizes

Follow in the footsteps of the Seychellois and enjoy being close to the sea around the clock, the relaxing calm and all the benefits you would expect from a comfortable accommodation. At Villa des Alizes, you can do just that! The only difficult decision you will have to make is choosing between a room or a suite, between ground-floor access or a prime view of the sea from an elevated position, and between self-catering or a booking with breakfast.

As soon as you pass the wooden sign at the entrance, you see the sea and the tall, imposing palm trees swaying in the wind. In the tropical garden there is plenty of space to relax, for example on chairs or sun loungers. These come in various styles for every taste and use, so everyone can enjoy their own holiday happiness. On the wooden sun terrace there is room to lounge, while the emerald-green pool offers instant refreshment at first sight. Two additional toilets and showers mean you can enjoy the pool to the full without having to carry water back into your room.

Just as inviting as the pool is the turquoise sea, which can be reached in a few steps. Guests can walk over the powder-fine sand and stroll along the edge of the tropical water. Villa des Alizes has an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and seating, where you can enjoy barbecues with a maritime feel. Here you will also meet the owners, Samiah and Basil, and here you can have your breakfast if you have booked it.

As soon as you enter the rooms, it becomes clear that the interior is just as impressive as the exterior. There are only five units, spread across two buildings, so you can always keep your privacy during your stay. The three Beach Suites offer spacious apartments with a bedroom, a bathroom with walk-in shower, a fully equipped kitchen and an integrated living room. The upper floor is a real highlight thanks to its own balcony with a sea view, while the ground-floor suites have a private veranda overlooking the pool. One of the ground-floor suites also has a sea view. Here you can move freely between indoors and outdoors and use the whole space as a kind of summer living room. The smaller, ground-floor Classic Rooms each have a bathroom and a bedroom, and one of the two rooms also has a sea view. The open-plan rooms have a modern Creole feel, with plenty of attention to detail and unique colour combinations to discover. Handmade furniture, colourful fabrics and large paintings give each room an individual touch. In the air-conditioned bedrooms you can sleep well and unwind. The clever use of space, especially in the suites, creates not only clarity but also an eye-catching feature, such as a folding screen behind which guests can shower.

Praslin offers good facilities and impressive natural beauty. If you want a break from relaxing, there are numerous walking trails to explore. Or take a boat trip to one of the surrounding islands, or play a round of golf on the island's 18-hole golf course. For nature lovers, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Vallée de Mai is a must. It is home to the famous coco de mer palm. On days when you want to laze around at your accommodation, there is a shop across the road with its own bakery, selling pizza and sandwiches to satisfy your hunger.
