Imagine imposing takamaka trees, gently swaying in the soft ocean breeze, just a few steps from the gorgeous Indian Ocean and the beach
Location
Tucked along the golden sands of Grand Anse Beach on Praslin, Dhevatara Beach Hotel is an intimate hideaway that feels worlds apart. You’ll find just ten suites here, set amongst lush tropical gardens and facing the turquoise ocean. The sunsets are spectacular, and the atmosphere is as relaxed as it is refined.
Rooms
Each of the suites is individually styled, drawing on African, Asian, and Creole influences. Expect plenty of space, polished wooden floors, and elegant touches that give every room a sense of character. Floor-to-ceiling windows let the light flood in, and private terraces invite you to sit with a book, or simply listen to the waves. Guests love the balance of barefoot simplicity and thoughtful detail.
Amenities
The hotel is designed for relaxation, with an inviting freshwater pool, tranquil gardens, and a small but excellent spa. The restaurant has a reputation for its creative take on Creole flavours, making the most of freshly caught seafood and local produce. With only a handful of guests, service feels personal and unhurried.
Activities
From here, you can easily explore some of Praslin’s highlights: the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai, home of the legendary coco de mer, or Anse Lazio, often described as one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Kayaking and snorkelling can be arranged, or you may prefer to stay close, enjoying long walks along Grand Anse’s quiet sands.
Sustainability
We love that Dhevatara takes its setting seriously, with solar panels providing much of its energy, natural ventilation reducing the need for air conditioning, and eco-friendly materials used throughout. Their size also keeps the footprint low, making this a gentle way to experience Seychelles.
