More About the Stay
Each apartment is spacious, immaculately clean and well equipped, with a full kitchen, comfortable beds and a balcony or garden with a sea view, and guests repeatedly call it the cleanest place they have stayed. The beach is right there, with a hammock and stunning sundowners, and a supermarket and beach bar are close by. It is walking distance from the airport, about ten minutes, which is handy if you fly in rather than take the ferry.
The host is the heart of every review. Cindy, the owner, is described again and again as warm, helpful and genuinely caring, going out of her way to help guests plan their time on Praslin. It is that personal welcome, on a beautiful quiet beach, that turns a first stay into a promise to return.
Amitié is on the west coast of Praslin, a quiet, scenic stretch near the island's little airport and close to some of its finest beaches. Anse Georgette, one of the loveliest beaches in the country, and Anse Kerlans are a short distance away, while the resort beach of Côte d'Or, with its shops and restaurants, is a short drive over the island. Praslin is reached by a quick flight or the fast ferry from Mahé. For a spotless, warmly run beachfront self-catering villa on Praslin, Seashell Beach Villa is one we happily recommend.

The Area
Amitié is a quiet stretch of the west coast of Praslin, home to the island's small airstrip and a run of calm, west-facing beach that catches the sunset. It is a peaceful, low-key part of the island, handy for anyone flying in, with a supermarket and a beach bar or two nearby. A short distance away lie Anse Kerlans and the stunning Anse Georgette, regularly named among the most beautiful beaches in the world, while the busier resort beach of Côte d'Or, with its shops, dive centres and restaurants, is a short drive across the island. The Vallée de Mai palm forest is inland. Praslin is reached by a quick flight or the fast ferry from Mahé, and a hire car makes the most of its spread-out beaches.
