Coco de Mer Hotel & Black Parrot Suites: A Dual Sanctuary on Praslin

Coco de Mer Hotel & Black Parrot Suites offers a sophisticated dual-experience on the south coast of Praslin. This property is unique because it caters to two different travel styles within a single, beautifully maintained estate: the classic, family-friendly relaxation of the Coco de Mer Hotel, and the adult-only, elevated exclusivity of the Black Parrot Suites.

The Earth Trip Perspective: Why We Love This Property

“At Earth Trip, we value this property for its consistency and its sense of scale. It feels like a genuine, established part of the Praslin landscape. We recommend this for clients who want a ‘one-stop’ resort experience where they don’t have to worry about logistics—everything from private dining to guided nature walks is handled with professional ease. The distinction between the main hotel and the adult-only suites is managed perfectly, allowing us to offer the right environment for both couples seeking quiet and families seeking a relaxed, activity-filled base.”

Accommodation: Two Distinct Experiences

• Coco de Mer Hotel Rooms: These rooms are bright, spacious, and set within lush tropical gardens, many with direct views of the ocean. They offer a classic, high-quality island experience.

• Black Parrot Suites: Positioned on a headland overlooking the ocean, these suites are specifically for adults. They are more contemporary, private, and offer a higher level of luxury, with a private lounge and pool area that creates an exclusive “resort-within-a-resort” atmosphere.

Facilities: Active & Leisurely

• Dual-Pool Design: Guests have access to multiple pool areas, including the tranquil, adult-only pool at the Black Parrot Suites and the larger, family-friendly pool at the main hotel.

• Nature Trails: The estate encompasses a significant area of natural forest, with marked trails that allow guests to explore the unique flora and fauna of Praslin without leaving the grounds.

• Water Sports: The resort provides all the necessary equipment for non-motorised water sports, encouraging guests to explore the calm waters of the south coast.

Dining: Diverse Culinary Options

The resort features multiple dining venues, ranging from casual beachside bites to refined evening service.

• Local Focus: The menus highlight Seychellois cuisine, incorporating fresh fish caught by local boats and fruits from the resort’s own gardens and local producers. The dining experience is designed to be varied enough for guests staying for a week or longer, ensuring each meal feels fresh and inspired.

Sustainability & Stewardship

The resort has a long-standing commitment to the environment, particularly regarding the preservation of the surrounding forest.

• Forest Conservation: By maintaining and protecting the large area of tropical forest on their estate, the hotel serves as an important green buffer and wildlife sanctuary.

• Responsible Practices: They employ diligent waste and water management systems, recognising that the beauty of their location is their greatest asset and must be protected for the future.
