About Praslin Island Seychelles
Praslin is the second largest island of the Inner Seychelles, lying forty-four kilometres (twenty-seven miles) northeast of Mahé. International luxury cruise vessels typically anchor offshore at Baie Sainte Anne, functioning primarily as an idyllic and picturesque port of call where discerning travelers spend a day or two exploring ashore rather than beginning or ending an extensive voyage.
Originally named Isle de Palmes by French explorer Lazare Picault back in seventeen forty-four when it served as a hidden refuge for roving pirates and Arab merchants, the island was later renamed in seventeen sixty-eight to honor French diplomat César Gabriel de Choiseul, duc de Praslin. This colourful historical background imbues the tropical destination with a distinct atmosphere of timeless adventure, even though modern visitors primarily experience a profound sense of discovery while exploring its lush interior valleys and pristine coastal shorelines.
The primary draw for international visitors remains the extraordinary natural wealth found within the protected Vallée de Mai, a prestigious UNESCO World Heritage listed palm forest famous worldwide for nurturing the rare coco de mer tree which produces the largest and heaviest seed on earth. Deep inside this emerald tropical sanctuary, the endangered Seychelles black parrot builds its hidden nests alongside dense jungle foliage, offering passionate nature enthusiasts one of the most remarkably rewarding wildlife encounters available anywhere across the vast Indian Ocean.
Beyond the interior nature reserves, charming local settlements like Baie Ste Anne, Anse Volbert, and Grand' Anse feature tranquil, uncrowded powdery beaches characterized by crystal clear turquoise waters and a wonderfully relaxed island pace. Visitors can easily unwind on these peaceful tropical shores or explore welcoming coastal communities that remain refreshingly underdeveloped and deeply authentic compared to other bustling tourist destinations across the broader Seychelles archipelago.
