YOUR HOSTS

 

If buildings are the backbone of a hotel establishment, then the employees are surely the lifeblood. This philosophy guides the Indian Ocean Lodge’s mission to provide a uniquely authentic Seychelles atmosphere, and it all begins with our people.

The Indian Ocean Lodge is proud to be one of the few establishments of its size with a fully localised workforce – each and every one of our employees is a Seychellois. From our General Manager, through our Culinary Team, to our friendly ground staff, our team of friendly locals is on hand to make your stay in Seychelles unforgettable.

This hiring discipline goes hand-in-hand with an approach that places emphasis on our team goals, and ensures our staff never miss an opportunity to go the extra mile for our guests.

Just steps away from the hotel you’ll find the small coastal town of Grand Anse – a community of friendly faces going about their daily lives: school children in brightly coloured uniforms, busy mothers tending to household shopping, or an elderly gentleman out on a stroll. As small as the village may be, within walking distance are bus stops, banks, a fisherman’s market, football pitch, churches, a community centre and an array of shops and boutiques.

The Rooms

Our 32 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.

 

Family-friendly:
All of our 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 are older, we have inter-connecting rooms, or rooms in which an extra bed can be placed.

We also offer each of our guests the opportunity to partake in our Seafood Extravaganza – a delectable assortment of freshly caught fish, lobster and other seafood – which is available on request.

POOL BAR & BISTRO

Open throughout the day, our pool bar offers a selection of bistro favourites, such as homemade burgers, sandwiches, pastas and fresh fish selections, all available from our a la carte menu. 

The bar is also open through the evening for you to enjoy any number of cocktails creations and drink specials before dinner, and 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.

There is even a small children’s pool, to ensure that even our littlest guests get to enjoy our endless summer.
