Praslin is located 40 km northeast of Mahé, where you can catch a flight (15 min) or a boat (1 hr from Victoria and Baie Ste-Anne) to this second largest island in the archipelago boasting 38 km² and 7,400 inhabitants. Its gentle relief (367 m at Praslin, its highest point) and colourful natural environment crowned by the Vallée de Mai and its famous Cocos de Mer, as well as some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, are all part of the relaxed, easygoing life here.
