Acajou Beach Resort: Tropical Ease on Praslin

Acajou Beach Resort is a long-standing favourite in our Praslin collection. Situated on the renowned Côte d’Or beach, it captures the laid-back, sun-drenched spirit of the island. It is a quintessential “Earth Trip” choice—a property that balances solid comfort with an authentic Seychellois atmosphere, perfectly suited to travellers who want to be in the heart of Praslin’s vibrant coastal life.

The Earth Trip Perspective: Why We Love Acajou

“We include Acajou because it is an incredibly reliable, high-quality property that never feels ‘corporate.’ It manages to feel both professional and incredibly warm. We love it because it’s perfectly positioned for our clients to explore the best of Praslin—from boat excursions to Curieuse Island to the lush depths of the Vallée de Mai. It offers a level of comfort that feels like a true holiday retreat, with the added benefit of being just a short walk or cycle from the best beach culture on the island.”
