On Praslin Island in the Seychelles archipelago, one of the few remaining havens on earth that's retained a sense of harmony between nature and modernity, we've strived to create a place that's equally in tune with its surroundings. Acajou is among those Seychelles hotels built with nature in mind – not on top of where nature used to be. Along the beachfront of Cote D'Or, a 2.5 kilometre stretch of white sand and calm waters all year-round, our guests enjoy tropical gardens, shade from Takamaka trees far older than any of our residents, and the original coastal vegetation that's gone unchanged for centuries.
