SEYCHELLES has chosen the island of Praslin to present its most pleasing features. Its perceptible and harmonious landscapes have certainly influenced the character of its inhabitant’s sweetness, gentleness and discretion. Praslin consists of many genuine treasures; amongst them is the famous « Vallée de Mai », our nature reserve. This is the unique place in the world where the famous coco-de-mer,
mischievously called “coco fesse” by Henry de Montfreid - is grown. Praslin has two priorities, first is to welcome its admirers and second remain the “pearl of the Indian Ocean”. The Britannia Hotel and Restaurant, constructed at the start of Tourism in the Seychelles, owes its name to our Islands Colonial past. It has since been fully upgraded and renovated in 2003, providing more facilities to its guests such as a swimming pool; where the guests can relax whilst sipping one of its variety cocktails after a day out visiting the neighbouring granitic islands. Britania is well known for its culinary skills reflecting the pure Creole cuisine passed on from generations and traditions. It has managed to find a compromise between its convivial ambience, warm welcoming, quality service of a renowned restaurant whilst maintaining a standard of a small “hotel de charme”. Located at Grand Anse, Britannia Hotel offers 12 Superior beautifully decorated, all with well furnished terraces and with air-conditioned rooms, mini bar, flat screen TV, facility for tea & coffee, television spread over several bungalows, is perfect place to stay for those wishing to “know Praslin” and its inhabitants and discover the island’s most beautiful beaches.
