The early hours belong to the swimmers, the walkers and the guests staying just up the road. Coffee brews, the kitchen fires up, and breakfast is served while the bay is still glassy and the sand cool underfoot.
It’s the quietest hour on Anse Lazio and, plenty would argue, the finest. Visit us in the early hours and you’ll understand why we open when we do.
Lunchtime is Lazio Blu at full tilt. Tables down on the sand, the bar in full swing, and an eager team wanting to facilitate memorable experiences.
Everything starts with what the island gives us. Fish landed in local waters, produce grown just up the road, and flavours that run from Creole tradition to the wider world, poured over with a cocktail list built for ideal afternoons on Anse Lazio.
As the last of the afternoon drifts away and the sun drops behind the headland, the environment changes character. Lamps come on low, the noise settles, and Anse Lazio turns very nearly private.
Evenings here are for forgetting the time. A five course menu, champagne on ice, and one of the world’s most beautiful stretches of sand fading gently into the night before you.
The Seychelles is the reason anyone would come this far, and everything about us is built around that notion. Our kitchen draws its flavours from Creole tradition and the wider world, our fish comes in from these waters, and we buy and hire close to home wherever we can. Anse Lazio was here long before us, and we honour that by doing our bit to conserve the dunes, the treeline and the water. Through this, we are proud to have earned an award for sustainable tourism and it keeps this beach exactly as you would hope to find it.
The best takeaway counter on Anse Lazio, and quite possibly on Praslin. Everything cooked to order and wrapped for the natural environment.
