It is a member of Seychelles Secrets, an exclusive grouping of hotels that offer guests excellent value for money and true unique Seychelles experience.

Iles Des Palmes is unlike any other establishment on Mahe, Praslin or La Digue. Only North Island or other distant islands can offer a similar nature experience to Iles Des Palmes today. No other establishment has taken so much care to preserve Seychelles natural assets, while still having the comforts one needs for a relaxing holiday. While other pool-side resorts dug holes and buried the huge trees of Praslin, at Iles des Palmes they worked around them, and kept them intact.

The old coconut plantation stretching for 15 acres is in tact part of a larger 175 acre estate. The one hundred year old calorifer has been converted to an art gallery to give Seychellois artists a commercial avenue to express themselves.

The bungalows have all been built out of farmed timber. No old growth tree have been cut to build Iles Des Palmes. The mountain forest in the back ground is preserved at it has been for a thousand years except for one road access that gets you to the other side to Anse La Blague.

While you rest on the veranda, the massive red granite mountains in the back drop, found only on this side of Praslin, offer you hours of amazement over the power and wonder  of nature.

The bungalows are positioned directly on the beach, unlike most establishments in Seychelles, allowing guests to intact with nature from the veranda. Sharks and rays swim by. Fish feed before you. Birds visit and become friends. Flying fox bats circle around you over head each evening feeding on fruits we leave behind for the day. The ghost crabs, or even the land crabs will be sure to pay you a visit at night. Please do not eat them. Let them live for another guest to enjoy.

The sea wall built by slaves is an amazing stretch of human effort that measures almost 1000 meters and remains intact today, except for a portion that eroded in front of the family bungalows: Colonial Quarters.

In the Pirates Cove, a section for couples, in one area, the beach bungalows are surrounded by huge grey granite boulders, while the other section overlooks the coconut plantation and the red granite boulders of Fond Diable mountain.
