Raffles Praslin: A Sexy New Resort for the Seychelles

Get ready for a sexy new destination resort that promises to be "paradise reborn." Raffles Hotels & Resorts is gearing up for its Indian Ocean debut with its first ultra-luxury resort in the Seychelles, "synonymous with the world's most beautiful islands and beaches." Located on Praslin, the second largest island and once thought to be the Garden of Eden, the new resort will feature 86 villas, each with a private plunge pool, surrounded by pristine beaches and crystal clear waters. Slated to open in early 2011, the resort is touting an exceptional spa experience in 13 treatment pavilions nestled among natural rock formations with views over the water. Noteworthy: The resort will offer easy access to one of the Seychelles' natural treasures and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vallée de Mai.
