About Paradise Sun

Part of the prestigious family of Tsogo Sun Hotels, this is one of Praslin Island’s most popular options for beachfront holidays. The resort’s facilities offer something for everyone, with activities and adventures for the whole family. Wellness services like massage and yoga pair perfectly with this five-acre retreat’s tranquil surroundings, while laidback pursuits including golf, petanque, and table tennis are perfect for whiling away an afternoon. Even the youngest explorers in your group are guaranteed the trip of a lifetime with special activities, menus, designated kids only play areas, and anytime care.

Stop by the activities desk to organise a wide variety of once in a lifetime experiences around the Paradise Sun resort and beyond. Complementary nature walks and sunset cruises are hosted several times a week, in addition to Creole entertainment evenings complete with a beach barbeque, bonfire, and traditional dancing. If you’re hoping to explore more of Praslin, car hire and water taxi service can be arranged, transporting you to all corners of the island, where dense jungles, footprint-free white sand beaches, and breathtaking scenery awaits. For a more cultural experience, opt for a village tour, authentic Creole cooking class, or even a local rum tasting!

Explore the resort

All of Paradise Sun’s guest rooms and common areas sit right on the coast, with fantastic views of Praslin Island’s white sand beach and turquoise sea. This spacious property is a natural oasis, with quiet forest trails, snorkelling and swimming right offshore, and rare endemic coco de mer palms surrounded by botanical gardens. The resort’s facilities are within close walking distance, offering easy access to sports facilities and the fully-equipped fitness centre, a generous free-form pool complex surrounded by sun loungers and lush foliage, and a soothing Balinese day spa. All-day activities for children are offered at the kid’s club, alongside babysitting and special areas for outdoor play. 

Paradise Sun has two tempting restaurants to choose from, with sumptuous buffets, casual poolside snacks and cocktails, and delicious bistro meals straight out of an authentic Italian wood-fired pizza oven. Head down to the Beach Clubhouse to borrow a complimentary kayak, paddleboard, or snorkel set - or just wander the beautiful Cote d’Or Beach’s kilometres of pristine white sand. This is also where you’ll find the resort’s beach volleyball and football equipment, sunbed bar service, and water taxi stand for exploring the islands just offshore. Stick around for some of the archipelago’s most picturesque sunset views as endemic fruit bats emerge at dusk.

Diving from Paradise Sun

Paradise Sun’s partner dive centre, Whitetip Divers, offers a full range of PADI courses for kids and adults, starting with your very first breaths underwater. Training and guided snorkelling take place in the shallows close to shore, where calm conditions and colourful coral gardens make for an ideal underwater classroom. This family-owned and operated dive centre’s team has decades of experience, and upholds the highest standards for safety and fun. Scuba students can expect patient and professional instruction, a dedicated training pool, air-conditioned classrooms, and professional quality rental gear. 

The diving around Praslin is outstanding, with unique granite reefs carpeted in soft coral and exciting wildlife including turtles, sharks, and rays. Whitetip Divers also leads guided excursions further afield in the Seychelles’ outer islands, with trips to La Digue, Marianne, and a number of the archipelago’s offshore banks. All activities are conducted from modern and spacious dive boats, include detailed safety and environmental briefings, and come with as much hands-on guidance as each buddy team prefers. Attractive package pricing is available for dedicated divers who are hoping to score as many tanks as possible.

Combining old-world charm with stunning scenery and unique flora and fauna, Praslin and La Digue offer an enchanting escape from all things ordinary. These islands are some of the most popular and accessible in the Seychelles, yet their sleepy atmosphere and sublime natural surroundings still take centre stage. Expect primeval palm forests home to endemic wildlife, bewitching white sand bays without another soul in sight, and clear waters begging to be explored. And, with an abundance of dive sites scattered across marine protected areas and isolated islets, Praslin and La Digue’s breathtaking beauty above the surface is only the beginning.
