The concept
The Lémuria Resort, a 5-star deluxe resort
with an 18-hole championship golf course opened on 1st
December 1999.
The hotel was designed to meet the increasing demand from
international travelers for a five star destination in the Seychelles.
The modern approach to design and quality of the buildings compliment
the expectations of guests who enjoy the highest standards of luxury
and comfort in harmony with the preserved natural beauty of the
environment.
Just 5 minutes from Praslin airport, The Lémuria
Resort of Praslin enjoys an idyllic location on the
northwest coast of the island.
Surrounded by luxuriant and rare vegetation, washed by the
warm waters of the Indian Ocean, the hotel lies sheltered from the
prevailing winds. The sea with its many hues of turquoise, the fresh
green landscapes and the three secluded white sand beaches create a
natural infusion and a truly exceptional site.
The main building lies crafted into the hillside, amidst dense
vegetation overlooking the beaches of Kerlan and Anse Georgette. The
calm simplicity of the hotel welcomes you into a sense of tranquility
and majesty.
The unique and striking use of natural materials, of wood and
stone, are emphasised by light and water from every direction. The
swimming pool has three levels, flowing from the hotel to the sea. The
entire property is designed in complete empathy with its natural
surroundings to provide an ambiance of total tranquillity and refined
elegance.
