Best for
A good fit for travellers who like a small, locally run place. It is a less natural fit for some trips: a restaurant on site is not among the listed facilities, so plan where to eat.
Location
The listing gives the address as Anse Volbert, Cote D’Or, Baie Sainte Anne. By its map pin, it is about 1.1 km in a straight line from Anse Volbert Village and about 5.8 km in a straight line from Praslin Island Airport.
Côte d’Or, also called Anse Volbert, is the long bay on Praslin’s north-east coast and the island’s main cluster of hotels, restaurants and small shops. Boat trips to Curieuse and St Pierre leave from the beach.
Rooms and style at Villa Rafia
Room types on the listing are Superior Double or Twin Room with Terrace, Standard Studio, Standard Double or Twin Room and Apartment with Garden View. With only a few categories to choose from, it is worth asking which unit faces which way.
Facilities at Villa Rafia
On the listing, the headline facilities are breakfast, free WiFi, free parking and non-smoking rooms. In practice, parking is listed, which helps if you hire a car and breakfast is mentioned on the listing; check whether your rate includes it.
Trade-offs and what to know
Praslin’s best-known beaches are spread around the island, so expect to use buses, taxis or a hire car. Small, family-run places offer fewer services than a hotel, so reception hours and meal options are worth confirming. Conditions on the beaches change between the two monsoon seasons, which is worth checking for your travel dates.
Getting there and getting around
Praslin is reached from Mahé by domestic flight to Praslin Island Airport or by ferry to Baie Ste Anne. Buses link the main villages, and taxis or a hire car make day trips easier.
