Islander Guesthouse

Praslin


The good people at the Islander are not setting out to win any 'best in its class' awards with their establishment but its virtue is the good condition of the rooms, and you'll be made to feel at home. The four bungalows (eight rooms in total) are unpretentious but clean and the property opens onto Anse Kerlan. Air-con is extra (€8).

There's an on-site restaurant.
