About this villa rental
Maison Vue Des Iles has the character and appearance of a traditional plantation property. The shared private drive is gated and the gardens have a fine collection of tropical plants. Behind this impressive self catering villa is a wind-cut granite outcrop covered in Bougainvillea. The interior is a real contrast, the decor is a modern take on colonial style, with white walls and sofas softened by wooden floors and furniture, a mezzanine level doesn't obstruct a view upwards 30ft to the rafters. There are huge oil paintings by local artists (including our famous neighbour Raymond Dubuisson) to provide colour, none however can compete with the vivid turquoise of the sea that can be seen straight ahead through the veranda doors. Stepping through is breathtaking, locals believe there is no more beautiful spot on what is a tropical island paradise. The property has a range cooker, fridge, dishwasher, laundry and library. Most of your time will be spent outside relaxing in the infinity plunge pool, snorkelling in the ocean or looking at it from the pool, sun deck or veranda.

My husband and I, and my parents travelled to the Seychelles from Vancouver, Canada to celebrate my dad’s 85th birthday. It was a bucket list trip for us and it certainly lived up to our dreams thanks to discovering this amazing vacation rental on VRBO. We are forever grateful to Claudette for sharing her wonderful piece of paradise with us! Maison Vue Des Iles was absolutely beautiful. A very comfortable place where we could just relax and take in the breathtaking views! We rented a car and did some sightseeing around the island …but we never wanted to leave the house for too long because it was just so amazing! Whenever we came back to the house we felt so grateful to be staying there. We couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else on Praslin! It was simply the best! We enjoyed spending time on the spacious verandah where we played games, read, lounged in the hammocks, and had all of our meals. Snorkelling was great right in front of the house and in fact, one of the locals said it was the best on the island. Wonderful to float in the plunge pool afterwards and watch the dramatic sunsets. The caretakers ( Mina & Gopi) were friendly, helpful, and nearby if we needed anything. Claudette was quick to answer any questions regarding our reservation and was kind enough to accommodate a few special requests. We are so grateful! Thanks for giving us such a special stay! We dream of returning to Maison Vue Des Iles! (Hopefully sometime soon!)

Lovely place in a great location with a nice view right by the water. Would have been great to have a second remote, so that two couples can move more independently.
