Indian Ocean Lodge

A beautiful, newly renovated hotel on a lovely, long sandy beach. The staff were extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. The food in the hotel restaurant was excellent and varied. The rooms are large and functionally furnished. 100% recommended!

Beautiful hotel with a lovely sandy beach! Our room was spotless and had a stunning sea view. Everything about the stay was pleasant. A special thanks to the Chef, who prepared delicious vegetarian meals for my sister and me, and to Denise at the bar, who made so many amazing cocktails! Staying here made our holiday truly memorable.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Indian Ocean Lodge. After moving here from another hotel, the difference was remarkable. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, always attentive and ready to help with genuine kindness. The rooms were modern, very clean and comfortable, with a beautiful sea view that made our stay truly relaxing. The most impressive part was the food – everything was freshly prepared in-house with high-quality ingredients and great attention to detail. Dining here felt like being in a 5-star restaurant, and we would return just for the meals alone. Congratulations to the entire team for creating such a warm and professional atmosphere. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Praslin.

Lovely hotel where the food and the staff just made the experience. Bar team led by Dennis and Tony were fabulous. In the Restaurant , Babu and the amazing Samantha who looked after us for our stay. Lovely flowers on our table each night , and drinks by the beach and pool. What more can you ask for🥂😎😎. Room was lovely and the hotel had a relaxing vibe. Some seaweed on the beach ( which apparently happens at this time) but plenty of beautiful beaches within short distance.

I have spent 1 Week with my mom in this hotel. Having only 32 room, each of them facing the Indian Ocean, just being completely refurbished, makes the hotel to a great choice on the Island Praslin. Every corner of the hotel has been renewed / updated, the boho-chic-style with it´s bright colours makes it to a comfortable and chic boutique hotel. The overall rating on Tripadvisor is not representative, as it includes the ratings before the total makeover of the hotel. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Special thanks to Anita Michaud-Payet (FO and Reservations Manager) who took very good care of us. Samantha, Babu, Vinay (but all other staff as well) in the restaurant were always there for us, Dennis (barkeeper) prepared the best bloody mary ever, but also the kitchen team (unfortunately I don´t remember on their name) made maximum efforts during breakfast and dinner. The dinner was mainly offered in Buffet -style, ( one night á la carte) the food is well described (on eco-friendly banana leafs), each night different theme. After the dinner the chef asks the guests, if the food was okay. 3x per week there is live music during dinner time. Luckily other guests were in a dancing mood too, it was great fun :) The two brand new swimming pools are good alternatives for a refreshing swim, should someone dislike to swim in the ocean. Depending on the monsoon there is indeed seaweed on the beach, but that´s nature. The hotel puts efforts to clean the seaweed on a daily base. Closeby the village Grande Anse offers ATM, money exchange office, supermarket, even a tiny coconut oil factory. Overalll we had a wonderful time, we found the hotel offering a great value for the money.
