Our opinion
Constance Lemuria Resort “A luxurious resort, first-class accommodation and superb holiday facilities.”
Hotel description
Conceived and executed as a luxury resort, its architecture in perfect harmony with the outstanding natural surroundings on the beautiful island of Praslin, Constance Lemuria Resort, a member of Relais et Chateaux, offers a first-class holiday experience. Occupying a wonderful location in the northwest of the island, Lemuria is surrounded by luxuriant vegetation and has three secluded white sand beaches, Anse Kerlan, Petit Anse Kerlan and Anse Georgette, lapped by turquoise-blue waters. A relaxed, understated elegance prevails throughout the hotel, from the water cascading over black marble in the reception to the dramatic lighting of the open-air bar with its cushioned sofas. The spacious bedrooms too, with their thatched palm roofs, are elegantly simple, with contrasting dark cherry-wood furniture and white natural fabrics on beds and upholstery. The rooms face towards the Indian Ocean and the setting sun, although the luxuriant shrubs and trees obscure a clear view of the sea. The swimming pool provides a perfect location for a refreshing dip or a rest under the shade of an umbrella. The pool is dramatic, composed of three pools cascading into one another, each set amongst granite boulders and palm trees and surrounded by dark wooden decking. The hotel has a wide range of leisure activities, from tennis and water sports to golf and spa treatments. The boathouse can organise daily charters for deep-sea fishing or just excursions to nearby islands, for snorkelling and hiking. At night the simple elegance that prevails throughout the day becomes more sophisticated in the romantic setting and dramatic lighting of the gourmet Legend Restaurant, which overlooks the Indian Ocean. Lemuria is elegant and refined, a superb resort in a stunning setting.
