Where to Stay in Praslin for Curieuse
There is no accommodation for tourists on Curieuse Island, so you sleep on Praslin. Which part of Praslin suits the Curieuse boats, Grand Anse, Anse Volbert or Baie Ste Anne, with room searches by area.
There is nowhere for tourists to stay on Curieuse Island: the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority (SPGA) says there is no overnight accommodation for tourists, only facilities for scientists and research groups. Every Curieuse day trip on this site picks up on Praslin, so the question is where on Praslin to sleep, and the answer is anywhere the pickup reaches. Angel Tours Pty LTD’s Praslin: Curieuse & St. Pierre Full-Day Boat Trip with Lunch collects you from your accommodation on Praslin, subject to location, from $111 per adult (checked November 2026).
The calendar above is Angel Tours Pty LTD’s full day, with 1,929 reviews (checked November 2026).
Not on Mahe
Sleeping on the wrong island is the mistake that costs a whole day. None of the Curieuse day trips here picks up on Mahe. On 12 November 2026 a guest staying on Mahe wrote that the trip was “meant to start from Praslin”, found out the night before, and was refused a refund. If your stay starts on Mahe, cross to Praslin first (Cat Cocos runs a ferry between Mahe, Praslin and La Digue) and book the boat for a morning when you wake up on Praslin. How to get to Curieuse Island has the detail.
Which part of Praslin
For the boats it matters less than it seems, because most of them collect you.
- Angel Tours Pty LTD picks up from your accommodation on Praslin, subject to location, and its boat leaves from Grand Anse on the west coast.
- Infinity Charter Seychelles' day trip with barbecue lists 105 pickup locations on Praslin, and Geoli Charters' guided tour picks up from any hotel on Praslin.
- Loyalty Boat Charter's day picks up only in the Baie Ste Anne, Grand Anse and Anse Volbert areas.
Anse Volbert, also called Cote d’Or, is the beach that faces Curieuse; SPGA gives the boat ride from there as about 20 minutes. Grand Anse is on the other side of the island, where Angel Tours Pty LTD’s boat starts. Baie Ste Anne is on the east side. If you want to choose by the boat, stay where your operator picks up; if the Curieuse day is one of several, stay where the rest of your trip is and let the pickup come to you.
