La Cigale Estate is an ultra-exclusive, private plantation house founded on the warmth of a family home. This is a magnificent 5 bedroom house and, with its 4 additional garden suites, can accommodate groups of up to 18 guests.
The 4.5-acre private estate is nestled amongst tropical palms on the edge of the stunning Côte d’Or beach, a powdery white sandy beach along the north-eastern shores of Praslin. Praslin boasts stunning natural landscapes including granite boulders, a jungly mountainous interior, and the amazing Vallée de Mai - one of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Seychelles.
Owned by a Seychellois family and entirely constructed and run by a Seychellois team, La Cigale Estate epitomises authenticity and pays tribute to the family’s history in farming. Led by a Seychellois general manager with decades of experience at legendary resorts from Positano to Phuket, the team at La Cigale delivers discreet, intuitive service infused with heartfelt Seychellois hospitality.
