The “Escapade à Praslin” getaway at a glance

The Escapade à Praslin (Praslin Getaway) is a short 4-day, 3-night stay on Praslin, the second-largest island of the Seychelles, arriving at and leaving from Praslin airport. On day one, after the transfer to your hotel, a private French-speaking local guide takes you through the Vallée de Mai, the forest where the coco de mer grows, the palm nicknamed the coco-fesse. The next two days are yours: beach, swimming, or optional excursions to La Digue, then to Saint-Pierre islet and Curieuse Island, home of the giant tortoises. You stay at L'Archipel, a 4-star hotel, in the Comfort category, or at the Constance Lemuria Resort, a 5-star property, in Superior Comfort. Transfers between the airport and the hotel, accommodation and the guided visit on day one are included. It fits before or after a stay at Club Med Seychelles.

How do the four days on Praslin unfold?

On day one, you are welcomed at Praslin airport and driven to your hotel. In the afternoon, your private French-speaking guide takes you into the Vallée de Mai. Days two and three are free: you choose between the hotel beach and the optional excursions. On day four, the morning is free before the transfer to the airport. It is a getaway designed for unwinding, with a single set visit and plenty of time for yourself.

What do you discover in the Vallée de Mai?

The Vallée de Mai is a primeval forest where the coco de mer grows naturally, an endemic palm whose seed is the largest in the plant world. Under the giant fronds, light barely filters through and mostly you hear the birds. With a private guide, you walk at your own pace, ask your questions and stop as often as you like. It is the visit that sets the tone for the whole stay.

Which excursions can you add on the free days?

Two optional excursions are offered. The first goes to La Digue, the neighbouring island, which you explore at an easy pace and where the famous Anse Source d'Argent is found. The second takes you to Saint-Pierre islet, a good spot for snorkelling, then to Curieuse Island, where you meet the giant tortoises. Your advisor can book them ahead, or you can decide on site depending on the weather and your mood.

Which hotel do you stay in on Praslin?

In the Comfort category, you stay at L'Archipel, a 4-star hotel. In Superior Comfort, you stay at the Constance Lemuria Resort, a 5-star property. All three nights are spent in the same place, which makes the stay very restful: you unpack once and enjoy. Your advisor helps you choose the category that suits your trip and explains the meal plan at the selected hotel.

What is included in the Escapade à Praslin?

The package includes transfers from the airport to the hotel and back, accommodation for three nights and the Vallée de Mai visit with a private French-speaking local guide on day one. The day two and day three excursions, upgrades, drinks, personal expenses and tips are added according to your choices. Your advisor gives you the details in writing before departure.

Who accompanies you during the getaway?

On day one, a French-speaking local guide is reserved just for you for the Vallée de Mai visit. The rest of the stay is yours to enjoy freely, at your own pace, with optional excursions for those who want to see the neighbouring islands. It is a format that appeals to couples, families and travellers who like to plan their own days.

When should you go to Praslin and how do you get there from Quebec?

The Seychelles are warm all year. April, May, October and November, between two wind patterns, are known for a sea that is often calm and clear, ideal for snorkelling. You leave from Montreal with a connection to Mahé, the main island, then continue to Praslin, where the getaway begins. Your advisor books the flights and arranges the link to Praslin. Your Canadian passport must be valid for the whole stay, and your advisor checks the entry requirements at the time of booking.

Which Club Med resort should you combine with the getaway?

Club Med Seychelles is the natural choice. It is the only resort on Sainte Anne Island, in a marine national park, about 30 minutes from Mahé airport. You spend a few days on Praslin before or after your week at the resort, and see two sides of the archipelago. For those with more time, the Joyaux des Seychelles tour links Praslin, La Digue and Mahé in 8 days.

Who is the Escapade à Praslin for?

It suits travellers who want to add an island to their Seychelles stay without tiring themselves out. Couples especially enjoy these three nights on an island of human scale, and families love the freedom of the days. If the Indian Ocean tempts you elsewhere, the Escapade à La Réunion pairs with Mauritius, and our resorts in Asia and the Indian Ocean open up many other options.
