With its stunning beachfront location on 200 acres of lush grounds, this upscale resort provides an idyllic getaway in a secluded area on Praslin Island (a rental car is advised for those wanting to explore). The property is divided into two sections, one of which is the more exclusive Black Parrot wing which houses the Junior Suites. This area has its own outdoor pool and a quieter vibe thanks to a policy prohibiting kids under 14. Families with kids are catered to with another lovely outdoor pool in the main area of the hotel. There's a spa for a range of treatments, as well as a fitness center, two restaurants, and a bar. Guest rooms have private terraces/balconies and in-room tubs, but bathrooms could use a boost as they're a bit dated. The four-pearl Le Duc de Praslin offers more contemporary stylings, but it's not directly on the beach.

The 42-room New Emerald Cove is an upper-middle-range resort set on beautiful, beachfront grounds. The resort is only accessible by boat, making for a secluded tropical getaway, but this can be a hindrance for travelers seeking to explore Praslin Island. Rooms are pleasant and many have terraces, but they lack TVs and Wi-Fi, and some upkeep is needed. There's a lovely outdoor pool, plus a decent restaurant and bar on site. Activities include fishing, snorkeling tours, and kite surfing, and the free boat shuttle to Praslin Marina operates throughout the day.

Villas de Jardin is an upscale family-friendly complex of seven one- and two-bedroom self-catering villas, located on a steep hillside above the Indian Ocean. The clean, spacious units are a great spot for families and extended-stay visitors, and all have large decks with great views, romantic outdoor showers, well-stocked kitchens, and chic modern bathrooms. There's no restaurant or bar on-site, but there is an outdoor infinity pool with a deck where guests can relax and socialize, and the hotel is near a grocery store and restaurants. Travelers that prefer a beachfront location in Seychelles could try the four-pearl Le Domaine de L'Orangeraie.
