Island Holidays in the Seychelles
Lush, Exotic Beauty
Nestled in the western Indian Ocean, the Seychelles is the epitome of serene tranquillity and stark natural beauty. Here, soft powdery beaches, plush tropical forests, thriving underwater ecosystems, and an extensive collection of exclusive luxury resorts offer a perfect blend of rest and restoration.
From the local life on Mahé to the ancient palm forests of Praslin, each island presents its own allure. Bicycles and oxcarts are common modes of transport. Experience the islands’ natural beauty at a leisurely pace, with stunning beaches and secluded picnic spots tucked into quiet coves.
Start your day with a sunrise yoga class. Sunbathe with a good book, then head out for a laid-back bike ride or dip beneath the waves on a dazzling snorkelling tour. You may also like to get up close and personal with some of the world’s last remaining giant tortoises or hike the spectacular nature trails in search of the perfect view.
In the evenings, indulge in fresh Creole cuisine, where the flavours of African, European, and Asian influences melt into flavoursome curries, fresh seafood, and sweet fruits that smell as good as they taste. Round off your evening with a starlit walk, then sink into a deep, nourishing sleep at your luxurious beach resort.

Mahé
Beautiful Beaches
Mahé, the largest island in the Seychelles, is famed for its stunning beaches, including Beau Vallon and Anse Royale which are both within easy access to the international airport. Soft sands and cerulean waters welcome sunbathers and watersports enthusiasts alike. Beyond the beaches, head to the upbeat markets of Victoria for a taste of Creole culture and the vibrant rhythms of Seychellois life.
Praslin
Enchanting Wildlife
Home to UNESCO World Heritage site, the Vallée de Mai, Praslin offers an incredible opportunity to see unique wildlife such as rare black parrots, bronze geckos, Seychelles skinks, and tiger chameleons in their natural habitats. The island's coco de mer palm forests and pristine beaches, such as Anse Lazio, provide a stunning backdrop for nature lovers who are looking for something special.
La Digue
Cultural Immersion
La Digue’s slower pace offers a deeper connection with Seychellois heritage, which is ideal for those looking for an authentic island experience where traditional ways of life are still preserved and nourished.
