Tales, marvellous tales of ships and
stars and isles where good folk rest...
Acajou is situated on the romantic island of
Praslin, an island of rare palms where elusive
Black Parrots live among the fonds of the
wondrous Coco-de-Mer in a valley once
described by General Gordon of Khartoum as
the site of the original Garden of Eden.
Praslin is home to some of the most beautiful
beaches in the world. Acajou is on the Cote
d'Or beach which stretches along the island's
northern coast and ranks among the
favourites with visitors to the seychelles.
Excursions, car rental, bicycles and diving
can be organized by the reception.
There is a Casino within walking distance.
Praslin, Seychelles second largest island, contains
the largest intact forest, Vallée de Mai, of the
endemic coco de mer palms, Lodoicea maldivica.
The Coco de mer nut is the biggest seed in the
entire plant kingdom.
Early sailors thought they came from a tree
growing beneath the ocean. This belief
lead to name the mysterious nuts "coco de mer
"or "coconut of the sea." Praslin and especially
the Vallee de Mai is also home to other endemic
plants and animals like the rare Black Parrot
which is only found here."
