Set amongst 40 acres of lush, tropical gardens on the north-eastern coast of Praslin, Raffles is a sprawling resort with plentiful amenities including the largest pool in the Seychelles. Buggies are ready and waiting to whisk you around the property, whether you fancy heading to the bar for a signature Danzil Praslin Sling or down to the beach for a day of diving at nearby reefs. There are 86 villas (the smallest of which still occupies an enormous 125 square metres of space!), all decorated in a fresh, understated style. The service is certifiably exceptional and despite the resort's size, you'll be made to feel like their only guests.

Sitting amidst endless layers of greenery, each villa is equipped with a king-sized bed, dressing room, indoor and outdoor shower, and huge soaking tub beneath picture windows that reveal the striking ocean view. They all boast an outdoor pavilion and plunge pool where you can while away many hours in perfect privacy. The largest of all is the two-bedroom Royal Beachfront Villa, which also has a living and dining room, as well as 24-hour butler service. The rooms are given added colour by Seychellois artwork made by renowned local artist, Sheila Markham.
Every villa has a private pool - surely the stuff island dreams are made of?
The resort offers a host of private dining experiences, so be sure to ask about the options for one of your evenings.
The property is vast with hundreds of stairs and although there are golf buggies to help you get around, it's worth keeping in mind.
