Dhevatara Beach Hotel

The main area houses the reception area and an airy lounge bar and restaurant. Outside, connecting everything, is a water garden, pool and seating deck area, with awesome views of the ocean. Three dining options will leave guests spoiled for choice: a la carte at The Pond, light snacks and lunches in the lounge bar, and a beachfront barbecue (summer months only). The spa is in an outdoor gazebo right next to the beach. Free WiFi is available.

The 10 rooms all have a different theme, to capture the many influences that make up the culture of the Seychelles. The suites are spacious and luxurious and have everything you might need for a very enjoyable stay: from comfy king-size or twin beds, aircon, en-suite bathroom with tub and shower and private veranda with either garden or ocean view, down to the fluffy bathrobes and the L’Occitane En Provence bathroom goodies for some extra pamper.

The beachfront location means water-based activities like snorkelling and kayaking (and swimming of course). The hotel is also a good base from which to conduct trips around Praslin or to surrounding islands (guests have access to bicycles and staff can assist with other transport needs). The on-site spa offers luxe spoils and treatments, a dip in the pool at sunset is magical, or get back to basics with a stroll on one of the island's most amazing stretches of sand.
