Anse Georgette

On Praslin Island's calm Anse Georgette beach, exceptionally smooth white sand extends down the shore. Although nominally a public beach, Anse Georgette is best reached via the Constance Lemuria resort. Unlike the Four Seasons Resort on Mahé, which allows beach visitors after they've checked in with security, the Constance Lemuria places restrictions on non-resort visitors. They can keep the area clean and uncrowded by requesting guests to contact ahead and arrange a beach visit, which adds to the beach's hidden attractiveness.

You may either take a buggy from the hotel, which runs every hour, or walk a short distance to this stunning location once you arrive at the resort. You'll be greeted by a magnificent bay with water that's the most alluring hue of turquoise once you arrive. The ocean off this beach is immaculate and exceedingly inviting, as there are no rocks or coral to define the ocean floor. Swimming isn't as safe as it is in other places because the currents are known to be strong here.

Insider's Tip: Beach goers will not be allowed to park at the resort. If you want to park on the premises, make a reservation for lunch or dinner.
