About The Islander
The Islander is a small, family-run self-catering establishment located at Anse Kerlan on the north-west coast of Praslin, one of the principal islands of the Seychelles archipelago. The property occupies a flat site of more than 4,000 square metres a short distance from the beach, with accommodation arranged as a collection of Creole-style garden bungalows ranging from Superior units to a Family Villa. Licensed for self-catering, it offers 10 rooms with a total of 20 beds, and shared facilities include a bar/restaurant, landscaped grounds and a private area on the beach. The property is managed by Mrs Miette Godley, who also serves as the registered contact.
Anse Kerlan lies on the western edge of Praslin, an area known for its long stretches of beach and proximity to attractions such as the Vallée de Mai nature reserve and the harbour at Baie Sainte Anne. Praslin is reachable from Mahé by domestic flight or inter-island ferry, and the surrounding district offers grocery shops, restaurants and car-hire services typical of Seychelles self-catering zones. Enquiries regarding availability, rates and longer-term stays can be directed to the property by telephone, email or through its website.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is The Islander located, and is it easy to reach from the main ferry terminal on Praslin?
The Islander is situated at Anse Kerlan on the north-west coast of Praslin, one of the Seychelles' principal islands — not on Mahé. Guests arriving by ferry to Praslin's Baie Sainte Anne terminal will need to arrange onward transport, as Anse Kerlan is on the opposite, western side of the island, roughly a 20–30 minute drive away.
What type of accommodation does The Islander offer, and how many guests can it sleep?
The property offers Creole-style garden bungalows ranging from Superior units to a Family Villa, with a total of 10 rooms accommodating up to 20 beds. All units are self-catering, meaning guests have the facilities to prepare their own meals, though a bar and restaurant are also available on site.
Does the property have any shared facilities beyond the bungalows themselves?
Yes — shared facilities include a bar/restaurant, landscaped grounds spanning more than 4,000 square metres, and a private area on the beach a short distance from the property.
Can guests at The Islander access the beach directly, and what is Anse Kerlan known for as a location?
The property has a private beach area and sits a short walk from the shore at Anse Kerlan, a stretch of Praslin's western coast known for long beaches and proximity to local attractions. The area is also close to Praslin landmarks such as the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
How should a prospective guest get in touch to check availability or make a booking?
Enquiries can be made by phone at +248 4233224, by email at ashley.knight@islander-seychelles.com, or through the property's website at hotelscheck-in.com/islander-hotel. The registered contact is Mrs Miette Godley, who manages the property directly.
Is The Islander a large resort or more of an independent, owner-managed property?
It is a small, family-run establishment managed by Mrs Miette Godley, who is also the registered contact for the business. With just 10 rooms across a collection of garden bungalows, it operates on a more personal scale than a large resort.
Are walk-in enquiries accepted, or is it better to contact The Islander in advance before visiting?
As a self-catering accommodation property, availability is typically arranged in advance rather than on a walk-in basis. Prospective guests are advised to call +248 4233224 or email ashley.knight@islander-seychelles.com to confirm room availability and check-in arrangements before travelling to Anse Kerlan.
