Constance Lémuria Anse Kerlan - Praslin Island - Seychelles
On the small island of Praslin, thirty miles from the
main island of Mahé, the Lémuria Resort is the first five-star
Deluxe hotel and eighteen-hole golf course in the Seychelles. Extending
on the slope of a hill overlooking the two Anse Kerlan coves, the resort
enjoys panoramic view of the lagoon and the neighbouring island of Mahé
in the distance. The resort enhances this beautiful site by blending totally
with the luxuriant vegetation of palm groves, wooded hills and dramatic
boulders formations. Everything at the resort is in total harmony with
the environment and in accordance with the strict conservation regulations
that protect the outstanding beauty of the Seychelles.
Accommodation comprises exclusively of Luxury Suites and Villas, hidden
in the tropical greenery and less than fifteen metres from a beach preserved
in its pristine state - no umbrellas or deck chairs here, keeping the
vista totally unspoilt and virtually untouched. With thatched roofs, all
suites open onto spacious shaded outdoor living areas facing the Indian
Ocean. Inside, the subtle decor projects an atmosphere of mellow comfort
and serenity by using elegant classical materials such as rosewood, marble,
pink granite and raw fabrics of natural hues.
The "Villas by Lémuria" have been designed to offer privacy
and exclusivity. Each one of the eight villas is a true private residence
comprising two bedrooms with private bathrooms, a large living room, a
gazebo and an outside dining area tucked in lush greenery around a private
pool. In addition, each villa has its own open air bathroom and private
butler service.
Under the direction of Irish Chef Micheal Clinton, the Lémuria
Resort offers a refined cuisine blending flavours from the Seychelles
with traditional recipes of the French cuisine. For lunch, the Beach Bar
& Grill near the waters edge offers a buffet with a range of
traditional spicy Creole cuisine and seafood, while The Legend restaurant
provides a wonderful setting for a candlelight dinner where you can enjoy
dinner buffet and themed evenings. The Sea Horse serves modern French
cuisine overlooking the fairways.
To release the stress of modern life, the Health & Fitness Centre
provides a wide range of beauty and body treatments in small elegantly
appointed bungalows. Facilities also include a sauna, jacuzzi, steam bath,
spa, fully equipped fitness room and a Pavilion Shiseido.
Additional activities include tennis, a full range of watersports, deepsea
fishing or a cruise to neighbouring islands. Lémuria Resort is
also the ultimate golf retreat, boasting its own championship course extending
along the coast through the tropical greenery of the island. Green fees
are complimentary for guests at the Resort !

Championship Course
Rodney Wright & Marc Farry (2000)
18 holes - 6,076 yds - Par 70
Complimentary greenfees for guests
Designed by Rodney Wright, responsible for the famous Mauna Lani Course
in Hawaii, and co-designed by French champion Marc-Antoine Farry, the
Lémuria Course offers a great challenge to all levels of players.
This spectacular layout borders the enchanting beaches of Kerlan Cove
and Grand Kerlan Cove. The first 12 holes run through the soft shade of
a palm grove, while from the 13th hole, the course climbs over the steep
slopes of a thickly wooded hill, providing breathtaking vistas. Several
artificial lakes, acting as water reservoirs, affect play on nearly every
hole, as does the soothing ocean breeze.
