Set in the private bay of Anse Petite Cour on the North-west of Praslin, in one of the Seychelles Marine Parks, La Reserve, which has the reputation of being one of the leading hotels in Seychelles, offers a level of seclusion that few hotels can rival.

Accommodation consists of colonial style villas scattered among tropical gardens and exotic vegetation. Each room provides the ideal retreat for those who seek tranquillity and relaxation, featuring stylish colonial architecture with attractive Seychellois décor.

Most rooms overlook the clear blue seas of the Marine Park which are ideal for swimming and snorkelling.

Overview
La Reserve is located on the secluded private Anse Petite Cour Bay, on the north-west side of Praslin in the middle of a large tropical garden.
It is 16km or 20 minutes from Praslin Airport and about 2km to Anse Lazio Beach on the North West of Praslin.
Sheltered the whole year round by the surrounding hills and the island of Curieuse, La Reserve is the ideal secluded hideaway.
The calm and shallow bay with its coral reef is one of the best places for snorkelling most of the year.
Its secluded private beach borders one of only five Marine Parks in Seychelles.
La Reserve guests not only benefit from the abundance of marine life offering fabulous snorkeling
but also free admission to all Seychelles Marine Parks

Creole barbeque rich in spices to a wide ranging international menu from an open kitchen.

The Pool Restaurant

Guests can order from their chaise-longue fresh fish, grilled meat or a salad from the Pool Grill, an ideal spot for lunch.
A great variety of local and international dishes are available everyday from the fine A La Carte Menu.
Local chef and fresh produce you just have to experience for yourself.

La Reserve Hotel has a NO SMOKING ban in both Jetty Restaurant and Pool Restaurant. The bars and arrival lounge remain smoking areas.

Cultural Events

Seychelles culture derives from three continents (Africa, Asia & Europe). This has greatly influenced our dances and music.
La Reserve's entertainment program provides the opportunity to experience that.
Local musicians play a mixture of traditional and international music three times a week joined by a group of traditonal 'moutya' and 'sega' dancers.

Nature Walk

As well as the Vallée de Mai there are many other Nature Trails and walks on Praslin. La Reserve does a guided tour of Curieuse Island for its guests on Wednesdays. Here you can see very young Giant Land Tortoise and very old ones. Our guide points out exotic plants, palms and rare birds along the way

Snorkeling and Kayaks
Being the only hotel located directly in the Curieuse Marine Park National Park off Praslin, La Reserve offers snorkelling equipments to all hotel guests free of charge.
The secluded Anse Petite Cour Bay offers good snorkelling throughout the year. If not Kayaks are also made available for them.

Vallee De Mai
Only 48 acres, the Vallée de Mai is one of the smallest of the natural World Heritage Sites. It lies in the heart of Praslin National Park.
It is home to the renowned coco-de-mer palm, which produces the largest, and perhaps most erotic seed in the plant kingdom.
La Reserve has a weekly organized trip to the Vallée De Mai for all house guests.

Gym

If you are one of those people who likes to keep in trim whilst on holiday then La Reserve has a well equipped and private gym ideal for your use.
Our air conditioned fitness centre is available to resident guests of the hotel. It is unsupervised and we recommend you check with a Doctor before undertaking any new exercise regime.

Swimming Pool

La Reserve boasts the largest swimming pool in Seychelles.
It encompasses everything a pool should have: a children’s pool, an area for the elderly people, a lounge and bar in the middle of the pool and an area for experienced swimmers. Two foot bridges cross over the pool and the featured buildings are thatched with palm leaves.

Activities
La Reserve offers a variety of exciting activities for its guests:
snorkelling at Anse Petite Cour Bay, luxury swimming pools, scuba diving courses with qualified PADI diving instructors, cycling and golf.
Breakfast and dinner are served in the jetty restaurant overlooking the bay.

Athena Charters will still be based at La Reserve and will still provide a variety of payable excursions to the guests with departures directly from the hotel beach.

The program and prices is currently being revised so please contact Mr Jacques Morel on athenacharters@lareserve..sc for any additional information

Lunch is served at the swimming pool grill.
An old colonial style villa with a terrace on the edge of the bay, originally built at the turn of the century, houses the bar.
It is also utilised for the complimentary afternoon tea and evening entertainment.
Complimentary facilities provided to guests include a weekly “sundown cruise” and a day cruise to the island of Curieuse and St Pierre.
Snorkelling equipment, canoes and entertainment music program three times a week.

Precautions regarding shark attacks.
Please be advised that a temporary ban on entering the water in our region has been issued by the Seychelles Maritime Safety Authority following two fatal shark attacks at Anse Lazio
that happened in the month of August 2011. Shark nets have been installed at Anse Lazio and Anse Kerlan and swimming outside of these nets is strictly prohibited.

La Reserve has also fitted a small exclusion net towards the end of the beach for the added safety of our guests. After recent discussions with the Local Authorities and the Kwazulu Natal Sharks board in South Africa (who inspected the bay), we have been advised that guests can swim and snorkel on the outside of the netted area but must keep well inside the reef in shallow water. You will find some recommendations made by the Kwazulu Natal sharks board in the guest guide in your room.
