Overview
Praslin is an island in Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean. It’s known for palm-fringed beaches, like Anse Georgette and Anse Lazio, both bordered by large granite boulders.
Description
Praslin lies 45km to the northwest of Mahé and is Seychelles’ second-largest granitic island. In the mid-18th century, the island was known as Ile de Palme (Palm Island), the name given by a French explorer in reference to the numerous giant palms that blanketed the island. The main beach, Anse Volbert-Côte D’Or, faces the offshore islet Chauve Souris. Praslin’s rugged, the jungle-covered interior is home to Praslin National Park, which encompasses Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve.
