Welcome to the tropical paradise of Praslin, Seychelles! With its lush landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and captivating biodiversity, Praslin is a dream destination that promises the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. To make the most of your time on this enchanting island, consider renting a car from Bliss Car Hire and explore the must-visit spots.
Hiring a car and driving around is the best way to explore the beaches and beauty of Seychelles. Having a car is also an excellent cost-effective and practical way of getting around the island compared to taxis, especially if you have luggage with you, or a family.
Explore coastal roads on Praslin and drive through Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve on the island for unforgettable views and experiences with a rental car.
1. Anse Lazio Beach
Anse Lazio is a gem that often finds itself on the list of the world’s most beautiful beaches. With its pristine white sand, turquoise waters, and granite boulders, it’s a sight to behold. Driving to Anse Lazio Beach is the easiest option, and Bliss Car Hire makes the journey easier. Regarded as the best beach in Seychelles, this is a stop that you don’t want to miss. Take time and explore the nearby Petite Anse Lazio and other hidden coves for a more intimate beach experience.
2. Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve is home to the iconic Coco de Mer palms. Take a leisurely drive to the nature reserve at your own pace. Park and explore one of the easy hiking loops to immerse yourself in the primaeval forest and catch glimpses of Seychelles‘ endemic palm trees. The entrance fee is a small price to pay for an encounter with the world’s heaviest nut and the mystical Black Parrot.
4. Anse Georgette Beach
Savour the tropical vibes by enjoying a fresh young coconut on one of Praslin’s beautiful beaches. Local vendors are never too far away, providing the perfect refreshment on a hot day. Anse Georgette, in particular, offers a picturesque setting for this delightful experience.
Anse Georgette Beach is accessible through the Constance Lemuria resort and offers a more secluded and enchanting atmosphere. When you’re travelling by car, drive to the entrance of Lemuria and park your car outside the gate. Ensure you reserve your spot in advance to gain access to this piece of paradise. Marvel at the granite boulders and savour the stunning sunset views – a truly magical experience.
5. Zimbabwe Viewpoint
Zimbabwe Viewpoint or Grand Fond is the highest point of Praslin Island. You can either hike or drive up – starting from Anse Lazio to Zimbabwe Viewpoint for breathtaking panoramic views. Stay until the sun sets for a spectacular view of the orange sunset glows over the islands of Cousine, Curiese and La Digue. The hike, guided or self-directed using offline maps, rewards you with stunning vistas. Don’t forget to capture the moment and enjoy the journey through the island’s lush interior.
7. Fond Ferdinand Nature Reserve
For a newer and more extensive nature reserve experience, head to Fond Ferdinand Nature Reserve. Located in the south near Anse Marie Louise, it provides an opportunity to witness the Coco de Mer in a different setting. This breathtaking enchanted forest was once thought to be the Garden of Eden. The reserve isn’t on Google Maps, but you can ask for directions. Once parked walk a short distance to the ticket office.
Wrap up your days in paradise by witnessing a colourful sunset, preferably at Anse Georgette. The hues of the sky reflecting on the tranquil waters create a mesmerizing scene. If you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins playing near the shore, adding a touch of magic to your evening.
