Iles des Palmes bungalows (Self Catering)

Positioned at Anse Takamaka on the beautiful island of Praslin, the bungalows have all been built out of farmed timber. No old growth tree has been cut to build Iles Des Palmes. The mountain forest in the back ground is preserved at it has been for a thousand years except for one road access that gets you to the other side to Anse La Blague.

While you rest on the veranda, the massive red granite mountains in the back drop, found only on this side of Praslin, offer you hours of amazement over the power and wonder of nature.

The bungalows are positioned directly on the beach, unlike most establishments in Seychelles, allowing guests to interact with nature from the veranda. Sharks and rays swim by. Fish feed before you. Birds visit and become friends. Flying fox circle around you over head each evening feeding on fruits we, man left behind for the day. The ghost crabs or even the land crabs will be sure to pay you a visit at night. Please do not eat them. Let them live for another guest to enjoy.

Sea wall was built by slaves is an amazing stretch of human effort that measures almost 1000 meters and remains intact today, except for a portion that eroded in front of the family bungalows: Colonial Quarters.

In the Pirates Cove, a section for couples, in one area, the beach bungalows are surrounded by huge grey granite boulders, while the other section overlooks the coconut plantation and the red granite boulders of Fond Diable Mountain.
