This guesthouse is set amidst a beautiful tropical garden on Praslin Island. Villa Rafia Guesthouse is situated right next to the Berjaya Praslin Hotel and offers a good, homely place to stay for those who prefer a small guesthouse to big hotels.
From the guesthouse it is only a few minutes' stroll to a year-round excellent beach, the Anse Volbert or Cote D’Or beach. It is also close to banks, souvenir shops and restaurants, giving you the flexibility of doing things at your own leisure and pace. A bus stop is close by, but we can also offer you a rental car at super-cheap rates. Ask us for our car pricelist.
At Villa Rafia, the friendly family who runs the guesthouse will be very attentive and welcoming.
All six rooms have their own attached bathroom (partially renovated in 2014) and a mini bar fridge. There is a ceiling fan and if you wish, you may book air-conditioning on a day-to-day basis on site at a cost of 10 Euros per night.
Three of the rooms have a private veranda. The rooms are serviced daily and towels and bedsheets will be changed anytime, upon request. Laundry and ironing facilities are available at extra cost. At the reception there is a safe for your valuables.
The lounge / living room and the communal breakfast area are opening out to the terrace facing the exotic tropical garden. So one can listen to the chanting of birds whilst enjoying tranquility, relaxation and a home-made creole meal. Barbecue facilities are available.
We warmly recommend to book half board with the Villa Rafia Guesthouse. The food you get here is excellent, home-made creole style and special wishes are gladly taken care of.
We find that Villa Rafia is a true home away from home and a recommendable place to stay.
