Iles des Palmes is a laid-back, secluded beachside resort that overlooks the bay. The remote spot is peaceful, but guests will likely need a car or bike to get elsewhere on the island. The property’s 20 private villas include spacious two-person honeymoon suites and big one-, two-, and three-bedroom bungalows. Suites have AC, but lack kitchens, while the family bungalows lack AC but feature fully equipped kitchens with fridges, stoves, counter-space, and dishes. The property has a beautiful pool with a wood deck, cushioned loungers, and thatched-roof pool bar, plus there’s a well-liked open-air restaurant. The beach is a great place for catching rays, watching wildlife, taking in views, or kayaking (kayaks are free to borrow), but the shallow waters aren’t ideal for swimming. For a bigger beach, consider the Village du Pecheur.

Chalets Cote Mer is a small, three-pearl hotel in an attractive location set on the bay, and within walking distance to Praslin Marina. Its 13 rooms and apartments have wooden ceilings and furnished balconies facing the ocean, but decor is a tad tired. Still, they're comfortable spaces, and all contain mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and large desks with vanity mirrors, although some showers are completely open, with no panels or curtains. There's a free hot breakfast and an open-air restaurant with authentic Creole cuisine. There's also an alluring infinity pool, but it's quite small, and it's shared with guests from a neighboring sister property. Travelers looking for a stay that's more upscale can check out Coco de Mer – Black Parrot Suites.
