Spectacular Seychelles
800 miles off the coast of Africa, sprinkled in the Indian Ocean you find the stunning islands of the Seychelles, each island boasting their own unique charm, many white, soft and sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters just begging for you to dip your toes in. The ultimate relaxation destination, perfect for honeymooners, couples and families alike.
Mahé is the largest island and is the entry point to the Seychelles. The small capital of Victoria is here. The largest and busiest island, Mahé has fabulous restaurants, beaches and much more to explore. Allow yourself plenty of time to discover the dazzling Hindu temples, take in the colours, smells, and sounds of the small, but vibrant Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke market, or take a hike along the Morne Blanc trail for incredible views of the island’s west coast or the Copolia trail, where you will have a superb bird’s-eye view of the capital.
With hundreds of hotels and villas at our fingertips let us help you plan your next holiday.
A short boat ride away are the smaller islands of Praslin and La Digue.
If you can, pull yourself away from the crystal-clear waters and soft, sandy beaches of Praslin for a day and venture into the centre of the island, visit the nature reserve of Yallée De Mai, one of the smallest UNESCO World Heritage Sites, wander through cool vegetation where you will find the famed Coco de Mer, along with five more indigenous palms. If you’re in luck, you may even see the rare black parrot that lives here.
If you stay on sleepy La Digue, don’t miss out on a visit to the very photogenic L’Union Estate to discover its colonial period vanilla and coconut plantations, where you can be transported back to a time when both crops were the primary source of income for the locals. Connected to the Estate is the must-see beach of Anse Source d’Argent with its iconic white sands and other-worldly granite rocks. Or enjoy tickling the chin of one of the giant tortoises that live within the grounds of the estate.
Cousin Island. Nature's treasure island
This little gem of an island is a must for a day trip, it's so much more than just an island, it’s a conservation legend and nature's treasure island! Purchased in 1968 to save just one species, the Seychelles Warbler, the entire island, and 400 meters of the surrounding waters are now a protected nature reserve, sensitively developed from ecological impoverishment into a flourishing forest, brimming with indigenous trees. Learn about the wildlife that share the island with the once nearly- extinct Warbler. Let your body and soul become one with its abundance of birds, wildlife and lush tropical vegetation.
