Grand Anse · Praslin · Seychelles

Welcome

Welcome to L’Hirondelle self catering guest house.

We are a small family house, not a resort, and we have never wanted to be one. Six apartments, a garden that runs down toward the water, and the sound of Grand Anse through the shutters at night.

Our family has looked after guests here for many years. You will be given your keys by someone who lives here, told where the good bread is, and otherwise left in peace to enjoy the island at your own pace.

The Island

Praslin, at your door

The second island of the Seychelles is small enough to cross in an afternoon, and holds a forest that exists nowhere else on earth. Most of what follows is within twenty minutes of the front gate.

Palm forest

Vallée de Mai

The UNESCO palm forest, and the coco de mer, ten minutes away.

Granite boulders on a white sand beach

Anse Lazio

Regularly named among the finest beaches in the world.

Boat on clear water

Island hopping

La Digue and Curieuse, both a short boat ride out.

Snorkelling over a reef

Diving & snorkelling

Granite reefs and clear water, year round.

Sustainable Tourism

A light footprint on a small island

Praslin is a small place, and everything brought onto it has to be dealt with here. We keep our water and energy use low, avoid single-use plastic in the apartments, and buy what we can from the island itself. None of it is remarkable. It is simply what living here properly requires.

“Ein sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus, tip top sauber, mit freundlichem Personal, das jederzeit hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend war.”

A very well equipped house, spotlessly clean, with friendly staff who were helpful and courteous at all times.
