Anse Consolation

Anse Bois de Rose is a small beach located in the south of Praslin. Nearby private property restricts access to the beach, and anyone arriving by bus must climb down from the road, making it tricky to gain access. That said, for those who reach the sandy area, there is a calm, tranquil beach with beautiful scenery and a wonderful atmosphere.

Anse Cimitière is a small beach in the south of Praslin. This beach is divided into two halves, one of which is more popular than the other thanks to its proximity to the Coco de Mer and Black Parrot Suites hotel. With calm, shallow water and beautiful trees to provide shade, there is much to warrant a visit here.

Anse l’Amour is a fisherman’s bay on Praslin, close to Baie St. Anne. The water here is protected from the open ocean by a small, artificial island, ensuring calm water all year-round. While there are certainly more attractive beach spots on the island, the bustle of activity is unique on Praslin.

Anse St. Sauveur is a relatively small beach in the south of Praslin, just along the coast from other beaches such as Anse Bateau and Anse Cimitière. A good spot for snorkelling and fishing, Anse St. Sauveur is especially well-suited to those who want a quiet, calm space to relax, perhaps under the numerous coconut trees that line the beach.

Anse Madge is an unusual beach by Seychelles standards in that it is almost always empty of tourists. This spot is, however, used extensively by Seychelles fishermen, as is the case with much of Baie Sainte Anne. Therefore, the main appeal of the beach is the chance to experience the daily life of the Seychellois first-hand.

Anse Bateau is a small, deserted bay in the south of Praslin, close to Grand Anse and Fond de l’Anse. While the water here is too shallow to swim, the impressive rock formations and the views of three other Seychelles islands make Anse Bateau a good choice for photographers and walks on the beach.

Anse la Farine is a calm, tranquil beach in the south-east of Praslin, situated in front of the Emerald Cove Hotel. As it is only accessible by boat, the beach is often empty, save for a few patrons of the hotel. That said, it offers plenty to merit a visit, including snorkelling, kayaking, and swimming.

Anse Gouvernement is a beautiful beach located in front of some of Praslin’s best-loved hotels, including the Hotel l’Archipel, which is built onto the beach itself. This bay is also great for a number of activities, including snorkelling, swimming, sailing, and fishing, ensuring that everyone will find something to like about this beautiful beach.

Anse Citron is a small and oft-deserted beach in the south-west of Praslin, nestled between larger and more popular beaches such as Fond de l’Anse and Anse Takamaka. This location means that Anse Citron is often empty, giving it a secluded, peaceful atmosphere that will appeal to those wanting to enjoy a quiet picnic under the sun.
