Granite-boulder beaches unchanged since the Gondwana supercontinent, private island resorts with no more than twelve villas, sea turtles at dusk — the Seychelles at their most exclusive.
Design your Seychelles journey →The Seychelles are 115 islands, each one different, most of them unreachable without a boat or a small aircraft. The mass tourism, such as it is, stays on Mahé and Praslin. We go further. To the private island resorts where your villa has its own beach and the only sounds are the waves and the fruit bats in the forest above. To Aldabra — the world's second-largest coral atoll and home to 150,000 giant tortoises. To snorkelling on a reef that was designated untouchable before you were born.
The inner island resorts of the Seychelles — each one privately owned, accessible only by helicopter or boat, with no more than a handful of villas. You will not share a beach with another guest. You will not hear traffic. The Indian Ocean begins at your veranda.
Bird Island and Cousine — the Seychelles' great turtle nesting beaches. A marine biologist takes you at dusk to watch hawksbill turtles lay their eggs in the sand. One of the rarest, most humbling experiences available anywhere on Earth.
Alphonse and Cosmoledo — outer atolls where the fishing and diving are among the finest in the world. Fly-fishing on the flats at dawn. Diving on walls that have never been touched by pollution. This is the Seychelles that most visitors never reach.
Mahé to La Digue to a private inner island — a journey through the Indian Ocean's most extraordinary archipelago. Best year-round; April–May and October–November for calmest seas.
Arrival. Morne Seychellois National Park hike. Victoria market at dawn. A boutique hotel in the hills above the harbour.
The Vallée de Mai — the garden of Eden, where the Coco de Mer palm grows wild. Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue — widely considered one of the world's most beautiful beaches.
Six nights on a private island resort accessible only by helicopter. Your own beach. Snorkelling, diving, kayaking, and the silence of an ocean that belongs to you.
