Exploring the paradise of Praslin Island at Raffles Seychelles. 🏞️🏖️🌞
"Seychelles boasts 115 islands, but only 33 of them are inhabited.
The proximity to the equator makes an impact—I managed to get sunburned on the beach in just 44 seconds; that's my record.
Since Seychelles is only 5 degrees south of the equator, it's winter here, with temperatures around 27-28°C.
Seychelles has no venomous snakes or spiders, and most importantly, there are no man-eating sharks near the shore. You won't get bitten in the water. Although, a partial liposuction wouldn't hurt me 🤪.
Praslin Island, home to @rafflesseychelles, is one of the most picturesque. Beaches with rocks and high mountains against the backdrop of the blue ocean look absolutely breathtaking, don't you agree?"

Navigating the waters of ambition and envy while embracing life's true desires. 🌴🌟🥥
"What do you think, is it good or bad when people envy you?
Share your opinion in the comments, and I'll share mine. It'll be interesting to discuss!
Have you ever encountered a situation where you wish everyone well, do nothing wrong, yet somehow, people around you are still not supportive?
There was a period in my life when my audience changed by 70%. Now, instead of my old audience, a new one has arrived. But back then, there were many unfollows, even from followers who were true fans. BUT! They were 14-15 years old, and first and foremost, they followed a girl from Volgograd who decorated her small room with handmade crafts.
They tolerated the first Maldives and Paris trips. But when I started making videos about changing my life, buying apartments in Moscow, about year-round travel, those who used to write 'Masha, I adore you, you're the best blogger on the planet, YouTube was created just for you' simply unfollowed me. Because I started doing what I love and what I want. I stopped being convenient. I stopped conforming. I stopped hiding my ambitions and possibilities.
Then I came to the conclusion that if you want people to love you, do nothing. Wear something old and shabby. Date guys you find repulsive. And suffer. Better yet, be incurable. That's when everyone will adore you.
You could call this wisdom the 'three B's rule': if you don't want envy, be poor, talentless, and sick.
In the end, when I realized you can't please everyone, I decided it's better to let them envy than sympathize.
The key is to do what you love.
For example, swinging a coconut in Seychelles at @rafflesseychelles 🥥💦"

They are not far from Mahe Island. How do you play two islands in one day?
morning island of Praslin - afternoon La Digue
Praslin Island Seychelles second largest island, about 45 km northeast of Mahe Island
May Valley Valle de Mai
One of the most popular attractions in Seychelles has been included in the World Natural Heritage. Sea coconut trees grown in pieces under natural conditions can be seen in the valley.
Lazio Bay Anse Lazio
was selected as the "top ten beaches in the world", the biggest feature is the extremely fine white sand, white as if it was crushed with pearls.
is the smallest of the three central islands of Seychelles. Walking at this time, the light seems to have returned to the 80s. There are almost no cars and tall buildings on the island, only bicycles and old-fashioned cattle carts. You can rent a bicycle to find the most hidden beach, or take a boat at the pier to explore the surrounding islands. The most popular beaches on the island are Silver Spring Beach in the southwestern part of the island and Grande Beach
Beach in the southeastern part of the island: it was named World's Top 10 Beach by National Geographic. First, and ranked 4th by CNN as Best Beach in the World.
Grand Beach: It was also named Best Beach in the World by CNN
Tips: There is no place to change clothes, you need to wear a swimsuit in advance, or you can change it in the woods.
Chloe Yin.
The smallest world natural heritage, Vallee de Mai, is located in Seychelles. The park is full of huge sea coconut trees. The sea coconut is the national treasure of Seychelles. Even the shape of the customs entry and exit stamp is such a strange The plant is completely different from the coconut we think, and the super magic will make people blush. Please look at the last photo, hahaha.
After entering the May Valley, I felt that I came to the small country, and I got a map at the entrance. It takes about two hours to complete the tour. It is divided into two lines from north to south. The scenery on the south line of the north line is almost the same. If the time is not If you have more, it is recommended to choose one of the lines in an hour, and you will not miss any scenery.
Tips: The little girl who is courageous remembers to keep an eye on the feet, because the big lizards are everywhere, and often licking from your feet, always feel that you will step on one.

The island of Praslin in Seychelles has a beautiful sea view. It has not been to Madai and Tahiti. It is currently the most beautiful sea in life, no one!
The private beach anse georgette at the Contance lemuria needs to make an appointment with the hotel in advance, otherwise the car outside will not be allowed. Here are the most dazzling sunshine, the coolest sea breeze and the swaying coconut grove, doing nothing, sitting on the beach and listening to the waves on the shore, its awesome!
I just sneaked into the sea the day before. For me, the mysterious and quiet seabed has the same deadly appeal as here. If you can, the life you yearn for is like this, free and free, just do what you like, do it. The most delicious food is simply fine. In addition to this beach, Anse Lazio Lazio Beach is also superb, and was selected as the second most beautiful beach in the world by National Geographic magazine. Seychelles is amazing, recalling this deep blue.
Angeline Yang.
Traveling to Seychelles, you must not miss Praslin Island, which is more primitive than Mahe Island. It is like a paradise. The most anticipated is that it has the world's top ten beaches and is ranked second.
European people know Seychelles because of Praslin Island. As early as the middle of the 18th century, the Europeans rumored to find the legendary Garden of Eden, and the so-called Eden was Praslin Island. More specifically, it is Vallee De Mai on Praslin Island. The May Valley is rich in sea coconuts, so the sea coconut has also become a symbol of Seychelles. Anse Lazio on Praslin Island has also been ranked among the top ten beaches in the world and ranked second.

Located in the relatively quiet southwest corner of Praslin Island, Seychelles, this hotel offers great service and a superb welcome cocktail. The hotel is divided into two areas, the full name is actually Coco de Mer Hotel and Black Parrot Suites. The Coco Sea Hotel near the lobby is a luxury sea view standard room and family room. My room is in the Black Parrot Suite, and the lobby is 3 minutes walk from the lobby. There are 12 suites in total. The view of the pool in the suite area is very good, with a 270-degree view of the beautiful Indian Ocean.
The hotel's restaurant has a buffet and an la carte restaurant. The location is better at a single point. Close to the beach, seafood fried rice and pasta are more suitable for Chinese people's appetite, but Seychelles' price level is also really expensive. Basically, Two people simply have such a staple food and drink more than 400 yuan. There is also a supermarket nearby. If you think the hotel is too expensive, you can drive to buy some.
There are a lot of taxis waiting in line at the Praslin Island Pier. The price is 20 Euros at the hotel and the journey takes about 10 minutes.
Angeline Yang.
In addition to the world-famous beaches, the Cote d'Or beach in Seychelles is especially recommended by the locals, and the water here is not inferior. The dive shop Octopus Diver is the hotel to help you contact, including round-trip car transfer, two days of diving does not include lunch 100 euros / person. Peer diving counts us a total of 5 people plus a dive guide, the other three are European grandfathers. If you want to go to the OW open water diving certificate is also there, 420 euros, AOW is 300 euros. However, there is English teaching there, which is not convenient for most people, but it is also recommended for Southeast Asia.
Approximately half an hour from the beach to the dive site, the equipment is provided by the dive shop, and a light is also provided. After the light is turned on, the blue fish turns into orange, the underwater world is really amazing, and I saw the little sharks, the oversized Napoleon and the manta rays. If there are large whale sharks in August and September, the experience should be even more Baton.
