More About the Stay
The rooms and apartments are clean, comfortable and fully equipped with kitchenware for an independent stay, and the villa sits just steps from the sand with a lovely beach view and a relaxed atmosphere. Guests write of watching beautiful sunsets, of the novelty of planes coming in low to the nearby airstrip, and of a quiet, well-kept property with plenty of space. A bus stop right by the villa makes getting around easy even without a car.
The hosting is what lifts the reviews. Staff, warmly named as Ajay, Angela, Madhu and Sanjay among them, are described again and again as exceptional, always on hand for check-in, full of good local recommendations and quick to help with reservations and contacts for a memorable trip. Breakfast is called delicious, and the care of the team makes guests feel genuinely looked after.
Amitié is a quiet stretch of the west coast of Praslin, next to the Grand Anse airstrip, a green, low-key part of the island with a long, pretty beach and calm water. It is handy for the airstrip and the shops and restaurants of Grand Anse, while the classic swimming beaches of Côte d'Or and Anse Lazio and the Vallée de Mai palm forest are each a short drive away. It makes an easy, central base for seeing Praslin. The fast ferry and short flight link Praslin to Mahé and La Digue. For a beachfront self-catering stay with warm hosts at Amitié, Le Tropique Villa is one we are glad to recommend.

The Area
Amitié is a quiet stretch of the west coast of Praslin, next to the Grand Anse airstrip where the short flights from Mahé come in.

It is handy for the airstrip and for the shops, supermarkets and restaurants of nearby Grand Anse, while the island's classic swimming beaches, Côte d'Or and Anse Lazio, are each a short drive away, and the Vallée de Mai, the UNESCO palm forest of the coco de mer, is a short drive inland. Praslin is the second-largest island, reached from Mahé by a short flight into the nearby airstrip or the fast ferry.
