Constance Lémuria

OVERVIEW:

Constance Lémuria is an excellent option for travellers keen to experience the buzz of a big resort. It deserves a special mention for its kids’ activities, ensuring the youngsters will not run out of things to do! The company Constance Hotels and Resorts aims to provide excellent service to guests – and Constance Lémuria achieves this, with its enthusiastic staff members. The sheer number of restaurants guarantees that there is something to suit every set of tastebuds here, from Seychelles classics to burgers and pastas to Creole sea cuisine. The resort has no fewer than five bars – we recommend Takamaka in particular, where guests enjoy cocktails while watching the sun descend. And Le Spa de Constance is the perfect place to take time out, offering massage, hydrotherapy and Qi therapies.

ACCESS & LOCATION:

Constance Lémuria is situated in the north-west of Praslin, only five minutes from Praslin Airport. The resort is spread over three wonderful white-sand beaches and up into gardens and hills.

The hillside is home to the resort’s main building, which uses natural materials to blend into its majestic setting above the beaches of Anse Kerlan. Here guests may dine at a variety of restaurants, relax with a drink at a bar, or take a dip in the split-level pool. Other facilities include the VIP Lounge (with flatscreen TV, DVD player, internet access, and stock of books and magazines) and conference rooms, in addition to a boutique selling essential items, souvenirs and exclusive Constance Lémuria branded clothing. There is even a shop for golf products too!

The suites are positioned a mere 15m from the beach and among lush tropical foliage. They are built from natural materials and each has a TV, CD and DVD player, large bathroom, and lovely terrace to enjoy the view.
