St Pierre Beach Restaurant

There’s restaurants on the beach, and then there’s beaches in the restaurant. Sand underfoot, the ocean lapping at the side, a high lathania leaf ceiling, 180 degrees of stunning aquamarine ocean and paper-white sand views are all complemented by an à la carte lunch menu of island-fresh Creole dishes and familiar-favourites with a tropical-twist at our Praslin restaurant.

Evening themed buffets change through the week but every night of the week you’ll find more than enough variety for the cuisine-curious as well as home favourites made with seasonal local ingredients and exciting flavours. Live music from local bands, interactive cooking stations, cocktails, wines and local rum as well as fruit juices and mocktails complete the St Pierre Beach Restaurant experience.

Paradise Sun Buffet

Dinner at St Pierre Beach Restaurant plates up a different cuisine every night of the week, from mozzarella covered pizzas on Italian night to octopus curry on Creole night, from flame grilled steak on BBQ night to the morning’s catch on Seafood night. There’s more than enough to keep the cuisine-curious happy as well as classic dishes and a taste of home for everyone.

St Pierre Beach Restaurant brings all the flavours together with live cooking stations for as-you-like-it fish and meat as well as live music four nights a week from local bands.

Drinks & Local Rum

Cocktails and sunbeds are one of our favourite pairings. The bar at St Pierre Beach Restaurant makes the most of fresh fruit juices and garnishes, like mint from the garden and fresh coconut water from the island. Cocktail classics like mojitos and margaritas tempt alongside Seychelles style signatures.

Partake in a taste of Praslin with our ‘‘Zanzam’ which lives up to its name (the creole name for ginger) and muddles Takamaka vodka, fresh lemongrass and ginger, with vanilla syrup and ginger ale, or a a Creole Pti Ponche which mixes Seychelles Takamaka Rum, with caramel syrup, fresh lime juice and sugar.

The bar menu features always-popular Chillas, the perfect mix of ice cream or sorbet with selected spirits. Wine at our Praslin bar comes from New and Old-World regions with a variety of sparkling, whites, rosé and reds. Beers are mix of local and imported beers and spirits. There is of course also plenty of alcohol free exotic choices with a menu of fresh and delicious mocktails and freshly squeezed juices and smoothies.

Join nature walks to learn the unique botanical beauty of the island, bike rides to see more of Praslin and discover Seychellois culture with Creole dancing and cooking lessons. Take a look at some of the activities planned during the week you are with us. A sample calendar can be downloaded, but is subject to change depending on weather and other circumstances. We’ll let you know what’s planned when you arrive.

Big gardens and an even bigger beach, warm shallow ocean with only gentle waves as well as a pool, table-tennis, soccer, volleyball and our resident entertainment team will keep the kids from getting bored or wishing for their Xbox. We can also help with child-minding and cot providing when you need a break or if you are bringing a little one.

On & Under the Water

Borrow a snorkel, join us for a complimentary scuba diving lesson, let us arrange an island taxi to the best dive and snorkel spots or borrow a SUP or a kayak and paddle around our bay. Seychelles is best appreciated at sea.

Praslin Sunset Cruise

Every Wednesday we invite our guests to join us on a complimentary sunset cruise. Book ahead and come on board for a late afternoon trip around the northern part of Praslin as the sun goes down. We sail from Paradise Sun to Anse Georgette to a spectacular sunset. Reserve your space at Reception early as this free Praslin cruise is subject to availability

Beach Sports

Take a break from sun-lounging and burn some calories as the perfect excuse for that extra cocktail or brownie at our afternoon coffee & cake serving. Join us for beach volleyball, yoga, water polo or table tennis throughout the week.

Water sports

The Seychelles is an ocean-dream on and below the surface. Our resort beach, Cote d’Or, is the perfect mix of shallow warm water and gentle waves for guests looking to see the island from a canoe, kayak or stand up paddle board. Friendly schools of fish gather near the edges of St Pierre Beach Restaurant and the granite boulders on the west end of the beach, while curious rays glide along the sandy floor. Guests are invited to use canoes, kayaks, stand up paddleboards (SUPs) and snorkel equipment available at our Beach Clubhouse free of charge.

Health & Wellness

Island indulgences or island revitalizing, Paradise Sun makes it a little easier to enjoy some of both. Dinner buffets include plenty of island salads and jungle fresh fruits, a class of yoga is arranged during the week and our organic spa is open for guests to experience Balinese relaxation in a Seychelles setting.

Spa

All natural, all organic ingredients gathered from the forests and bays of the Seychelles with massage and body conditioning techniques by Balinese-style trained therapists in a quiet corner of our tropical gardens. In case you need even more than sun-kissed skin, warm ocean swims and tropical warmth, our spa will ensure a new state of relaxation.

Harmonising ancient Chinese medicine philosophies with skilled therapists, the Paradise Sun Spa focuses on relaxation and rejuvenation helping to ease tension in muscles and mind. The spa is located away from our bungalows deep within our gardens, for privacy and quiet, where soft music within the treatment rooms is only interrupted by birdsong and the jungle soundtrack of Praslin.

Treatment rooms are bright and airy with a choice of single or couple treatment spaces, each with private outdoor shower areas and the option for outdoor couple’s bath fragranced with freshly picked frangipani and hibiscus petals.

Massage treatments are the perfect break between beach, ocean or island visits. From 30 minutes to an hour or more, massages that focus on just one area as well as massages that focus on your whole body along with delicate pedicure and manicure treatments and facials.

Pool Time

Our free-form split-level pool is perfect for our younger guests with a shallow section at just 0.6m deep and the upper level pool a more adult friendly 1.4m depth with an infinity edge that runs into the kiddies section. Chill poolside and enjoy palm tree shade on the lawn or take it easy under a sun umbrella on the deck surrounding the pool. The pool is well positioned next to our main building where you can enjoy a lazy breakfast and daily afternoon coffee and cake.

• Paradise Sun is the perfect family island getaway. Warm shallow ocean at our sheltered beach, soft sand stretching for 2km, year-round sunny weather and a calendar of kid-friendly activities during the week is enough to keep the children happy. Of course, you might also need a bit of a break. Whether you want to learn to scuba or the kids are a little too young for some of the off-island snorkeling spots, maybe you fancy a Paradise Sun signature massage or a romantic beach dinner, or even just want some uninterrupted beach book reading. Whenever you need a break we can arrange a qualified child minder to take care of your precious little ones for an hour or two, the entire day or evening.
