PB hotel design editorial

Spread across a granite-fringed headland on Praslin — the Seychelles' second island, not Mahé — where dense takamaka forest tumbles toward one of the Indian Ocean's most celebrated stretches of white sand, Raffles Seychelles arranges its 86 pool villas across the hillside in a configuration that keeps the resort feeling more like a private enclave than a managed destination. The aerial view makes the organizing principle clear: blue-roofed pavilions distributed through the canopy at intervals generous enough that each villa holds its own territory, the main pool terrace curving at the forest edge where land meets the turquoise shallows of Anse Takamaka. The interiors carry a quiet material confidence — cork-panelled headboard walls giving bedrooms an earthy warmth that reads against the cool palette of ice-blue upholstery and white linen, hardwood decking extending living areas outward onto private plunge pools framed by dark timber balustrades. Floor-to-ceiling glazed walls retract fully, dissolving the boundary between air-conditioned interior and the Seychellois air beyond. The main pool's dark-tiled surface mirrors palm canopy and sky in equal measure, teak-framed sun loungers arranged beneath canvas market umbrellas in a composition that favours ease over spectacle. Outdoor dining at the waterfront restaurant sets woven rattan chairs on lawn that drops directly to the bay, the granite peaks of neighbouring islands visible across the water — a reminder that the landscape here does the design's heaviest work.

"We had a rest with our family in this wonderful place! Villa 290 is quite high, but thanks to the buggy you can get there without any problems! The villa is gorgeous, with a view of the jungle and the ocean. If you need a quiet, measured rest, this is the best place! Wonderful turtles live in the hotel! The villa is sometimes visited by lizards and birds. Very kind and helpful staff - any request can be resolved by calling the reception or by personal request. Room cleaning twice a day, the minibar was replenished daily. The impressions are the best! Lunch food on the menu, dinner buffet. You can't stay hungry! Everything is delicious! Many thanks to Simon - met and had a great time! Many thanks to all the buggy drivers!!!! You're awesome! Thank you so much for taking care of the guys at the pool bar-Gaurav Shiv Shanglipang Srujan Rody and everyone, whose names I didn't list! Well, special thanks to the Russian-speaking guys - Kamil, Elvira and Gulay-you are the best!!!❤️always ask how the vacation is going, they are ready to help with any request and business! Kamil was in touch all the time! Elvira and Gulay very nice and lovely interlocutors! Good luck to you guys! Without you it would be hard for us❤️ We thank our captain and his assistant from the catamaran! The walk was wonderful, to the most beautiful places! Once again, thank you very much to all the staff for our wonderful holiday!!!🙌🏻❤️ In general, if characterise our vacation-it was the best! It was very sad to leave, we hope to return to Raffles again! The Veselov family"

"We were at Raffles Praslin for 10 days in July, and our stay couldn’t have been better. This was our third time at this special place, and it certainly won’t be the last. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and were escorted to our dream pool villa by our wonderful butler, Jean Marc. He fulfilled every wish during our stay and organized everything perfectly. The entire staff at this hotel is incredibly friendly and warm. Whether it’s the butlers, service staff, gardeners, or room service, everyone does their best to make the hotel experience unforgettable. Our children loved the ladies at the Kids Club, who took great care of them. They also had a lot of fun with the buggy drivers and the beach staff. During our stay, renovations were taking place, but they absolutely did not disturb us. The quality and taste of the food in each of the restaurants were excellent. We are already looking forward to our next stay in our island home."
