It is always great to swim at Grand Anse Beach and for most part of the year it is a lovely sandy beach with fine white sand. However ,the South-East trade wind, between May and October normally creates seasonal movements of seaweed onto the beach, Please note that during this time frame, we recommend that one makes use of our daily shuttle to the Cote d'Or coast, which runs from the hotel to Cote D’or Beach on the opposite side of the island, which offers better swimming conditions at that time of year.

The Hotel has the Blue Marlin Restaurant that is renowned for the cuisine, but there are many around Praslin that are almost as good and our reception will gladly assist and make your booking.
