Lemuria occupies the northwestern corner of Praslin and has three beaches to itself, the finest of which is Anse Georgette - a short, steep curve of sand backed by boulders that is regularly named among the best beaches anywhere. Access is controlled through the resort, which keeps it far quieter than its reputation would suggest.
It is also home to the only 18-hole golf course in the Seychelles, a hilly layout that climbs through granite and palm forest with sea views from most holes. Hawksbill turtles nest on the resort's beaches, and the property runs a monitoring programme with a resident conservation team.
Praslin itself is worth the trip for the Vallee de Mai, a UNESCO-listed palm forest where the coco de mer grows wild, and the island is the jumping-off point for La Digue and Curieuse. Access is a short domestic flight or a ferry from Mahe.
