Constance Lemuria

On the northwest tip of Praslin Island, Constance Lemuria occupies a sweep of coastline encompassing three beaches, including the celebrated Anse Georgette, a stretch of pale sand and granite boulders that ranks among the most photographed in the Indian Ocean. The resort’s 105 suites and villas are arranged through 120 hectares of tropical vegetation, with accommodation ranging from ocean-view suites to private pool villas perched on the hillside above the water. Praslin’s Vallée de Mai UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the extraordinary coco de mer palms, is a twenty-minute drive away.

The resort holds the only eighteen-hole championship golf course in the Seychelles, designed around the island’s natural landscape with views across the Indian Ocean from the higher fairways. Dining spans a fine Creole restaurant perched on the headland between the two Anse Kerlan beaches, a Mediterranean terrace overlooking the golf course, and a casual beachfront grill for barefoot lunches with fresh-caught seafood. The Constance Spa uses natural Indian Ocean-inspired products, with an outdoor circuit of pools, saunas, and treatment rooms integrated into the tropical garden.

Constance Lemuria’s engagement with the environment it occupies is long-standing and practical. The resort’s turtle monitoring programme brings trained officers to the beach during nesting season from October to February, and guests are invited to participate directly in the documentation and protection of nesting sites. Marine excursions into the protected waters around Praslin offer snorkelling and diving experiences shaped by the island’s relative distance from the pressures facing more heavily visited coral ecosystems.
