Despite being the second largest island in the Seychelles, Praslin has a fraction of the population making it less busy and less developed than Mahé.
Best known for its beaches, Praslin often features on world's best beaches lists, although there's also an 18-hole Championship golf course and fascinating flora and bird life waiting to be discovered. Within a stone's throw is the postcard perfect La Digue is the smallest of the three main inhabited islands, with turquoise waters, diamond-white beaches, emerald green hills and a relaxed island vibe thanks to its lack of surfaced roads and motorised transport - the perfect Robinson Crusoe experience. Some choose to visit as a day trip, but always leave wanting more.
