📍 Destination Overview
Anse Lazio sits on the northwestern coast of Praslin island and is among the most famous beaches in the Seychelles. Its roughly 600-metre crescent of fine white sand is framed at both ends by the signature rose-tinted granite boulders, while the calm, shallow and warm turquoise water is perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Tall takamaka trees and casuarinas shade the shoreline, making it a serene spot for sunbathing, sundown and photography, often combined with Praslin's Vallee de Mai coco-de-mer reserve.
