Lapped by the iridescent warm waters of the Indian Ocean, the recently refurbished Coco de Mer is a friendly and very comfortable little property, designed in contemporary Seychellois style, and nestled between the sea and the famous Vallée de Mai. Coco de Mer offers spacious accommodation in a superbly peaceful location, incorporating the Black Parrot Suites (200 metres away) beachfront neighbours on Praslin’s sunset-facing west coast. This friendly, family run hotel is a great little hideaway at great value – explore the local nature, go cycling, or just relax on a hammock on the beach.

Leading out from the reception is the Coco de Mer courtyard with its koi pond and jets of water, overlooked by a wooden sala, with a sumptuous daybed. Vessels of rough black and grey stone slate intermingle with the green gardens and trimmed grass verges. Very inviting hammocks surrounded by lush tropical gardens and beside its delightful beach allow you to unwind and relax.
Coco de Mer features 40 refurbished bungalow rooms – some located at garden level by the sea, others set higher (most have sea view). Some are split-level and all have a large bedroom with four-poster bed, sitting area (convertible to accommodate two children), private bath and shower, satellite television, mini-fridge, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, safe and tea/coffee making facilities. Superior Rooms offer the same amenities as the Standard Rooms but located directly on the beach terrace.
