Elegant and colonial in architectural style, La Réserve enjoys a fantastic beachside location on Anse Petite Cour on the north-west side of the beautiful island of Praslin. Sheltered by surrounding hills, its 200-acre estate of gardens is unashamedly tropical with a large variety of palms, mango trees, hibiscus, bougainvillaea and orchids. The elegant and comfortable rooms are situated in palm-thatched colonial-style villas with pillars and verandas. The interiors are individually decorated with a creole feel, featuring four-poster beds and paintings by local artists. A special feature of La Réserve is its charming restaurant on a jetty built into the sea. The hotel prides itself on its authentic creole and gourmet international cuisine, with fresh fish and seafood being a speciality. The traditional feel of the hotel is enhanced by the complimentary afternoon tea with cakes and sandwiches. As well as relaxing on the soft white sand beach, guests at the hotel can explore the sheltered bay near the hotel, which with its coral reef is an excellent place to snorkel most of the year round. The hotel boasts the largest swimming pool in the Seychelles. Bikes and cars are available for rental, affording a great way to visit nearby beaches and the unspoiled natural tropical scenery of the island.

About Seychelles
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to the Seychelles is really the tropical island of your dreams come to life; a deserted, soft white-sand beach lapped by gentle, turquoise water and fringed by dense coconut palms. The Seychelles are some of the most beautiful islands in the world and due to careful growth, this natural beauty has been protected and preserved. On land the Seychelles are home to rare species of bird and tree, including the amazing coco de mer palm and the black parrot, as well as abundant orchids, hibiscus, frangipani and bougainvillaea. In the seas surrounding the islands of the Seychelles, many areas of which have been designated marine national parks, over 150 species of tropical fish are to be found as well as abundant coral. The pace of life is slow and relaxed, even on Mahe but particularly on the smaller islands. The Seychelles is also known for its racial harmony and their people are a mixture of African, European, Indian, Chinese and Arab. The beauty of the islands and the relaxed way of life have attracted artists over the years and today you are more than welcome to visit them at home and in their studios. A luxury holiday to the Seychelles offers you not just the archetypal idyll of palm-fringed beaches but also a relaxed and harmonious approach to life.
Highlights of the Seychelles
The famous coco de mer found in the Vallee de Mai on Praslin. Paintings by numerous local artists including Michael Adams and Christine Harter to be viewed and purchased.
