Peace. Quiet. Authenticity. Guests of Indian Ocean Lodge can expect nothing less, and probably quite a bit more…
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Praslin, the Indian Ocean Lodge is an affordable small hotel establishment completely owned, and operated, by Seychellois.
From the cuisine, to the interior décor and the warm faces greeting you at each turn, every point of contact invokes a truly authentic Seychelles experience.
A stay at Indian Ocean Lodge is the next best thing to calling Seychelles home.
Situated right along the beach of Grand Anse, just on the outskirts of the tiny village by the same name. Grand Anse is one of the longest beaches on the island, with shallow flats that extend far out to the reef, and water barely lapping along the shore. This makes it ideal for family activities or simply strolling up and down the coastline.
The hotel is just a 5-minute drive from the Praslin airport, 15 minutes from the Baie Ste Anne Jetty, about 20 minutes from Cote D’Or beach (a hotspot for diving and island excursions), and 35 minutes away from the world famous beach of Anse Lazio.
Situated centrally between the guestrooms, the main complex houses the reception/lobby, restaurant, and pool/deck area. Here you will be able to enjoy delicious meals, a refreshing swim, evening cocktails and live music.
Music, dance and celebrations are a central pillar of Creole culture. Creole nights invite guests to experience this for themselves with night of authentic cuisine, traditional music and sega dancing!
Blue Marlin Restaurant offers two distinct areas for you to dine – inside the main building, or out on our covered veranda. Breakfasts are served from 07:30 to 10:00, and dinner as from 19:30, with the a la carte pool bar and bistro open throughout the day.
Also offers each of the guests the opportunity to partake in a Seafood Extravaganza – a delectable assortment of freshly caught fish, lobster and other seafood – which is available on request. Please notify staff at least one day in advance of your request, so that all the necessary preparations can be made!
Pool Bar & Bistro open throughout the day, offering a selection of bistro favourites, such as homemade burgers, sandwiches, pastas and fresh fish selections, all available from the a la carte menu.
The bar is also open through the evening for you to enjoy any number of cocktail creations and drink specials before dinner, there may be no better way to whet your appetite than to sip on an aperitif during the sunset while listening to live local music: a selection of bands and singers perform 4 nights a week in the evenings and during dinner.
The guest rooms are nestled along the beach across eight two-storey structures of traditional Creole architecture, and surrounded by tropical gardens. The interiors have been designed to uniquely identify with Praslin in every way, with pastel and earth tones, along with fixtures and made out of traditional materials like palm leaves and coconut husks and shells. The white-washed furniture, built by local carpenters, lends a soothing, rustic finish to the room.
The spacious bathrooms were created with our guests’ day schedules in mind. The double shower means you can freshen up and get rid of the sand you have accumulated from the beach without waiting around for your partner, and clothes-lines ensure those wet bathing suits dry out in good time.
All the rooms have been designed to easily convert into ideal accommodation for families. Standard rooms are 45m² and equipped with king-size beds and two adjacent built-in couches which can easily be converted into twin beds for children under 10 years. For families with older children, we have inter-connecting rooms, or rooms in which an extra bed can be placed.
