Granite boulders and white sand beach, Seychelles
Destination

Seychelles.
Where the journey slows.

The Seychelles is where an African journey comes to rest. Granite boulders and powder-white sand, warm clear water, and islands that range from the lively main three to private retreats and remote atolls few people ever reach. It is a place to slow down after the bush, or to come simply for the sea. We build each Seychelles holiday by hand, on its own or as the close of a safari.

Why Seychelles

The art of doing nothing.

The Seychelles asks nothing of you but to slow down. The three main islands, Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, hold some of the most beautiful beaches on earth, framed by the smooth granite boulders that give the islands their character. Beyond them lie private islands and far-flung atolls with world-class diving and fly-fishing. It pairs perfectly with a mainland safari, the wild days of the bush followed by quiet days by the sea, and it stands on its own just as well. We know the islands and their hotels, and we shape the trip around how you want to travel.

Beau Vallon beach on Mahé, Seychelles
The island gateway

Mahé

Mahé is the largest island and the gateway to the Seychelles, home to the international airport and the small capital, Victoria. It is more than a place to pass through. Forested peaks rise behind a coastline of fine beaches, from the long sweep of Beau Vallon to quiet coves you can have to yourself. Victoria is worth an afternoon for its market and botanical gardens, and the island has the widest choice of places to stay. Most journeys begin here before island-hopping onward.

  • Beau Vallon and hidden coves
  • The widest choice of hotels

Anse Lazio beach on Praslin, Seychelles
Vallée de Mai and Anse Lazio

Praslin

Praslin is a short hop from Mahé and home to two of the islands' treasures. The Vallée de Mai is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a primeval palm forest where the famous coco de mer grows, the largest seed in the plant kingdom. On the coast, Anse Lazio is regularly named among the most beautiful beaches in the world, a curve of pale sand and granite under clear water. Praslin is relaxed and green, an easy base for exploring the inner islands.

Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue, Seychelles
The granite-boulder beaches

La Digue

La Digue is the slow heart of the Seychelles, a small island where bicycles and ox-carts still outnumber cars. Its beach, Anse Source d'Argent, is among the most photographed in the world, a series of pink-tinged coves sheltered by the great granite boulders the islands are known for. Days here are simple: cycle between beaches, swim in the shallows, and watch the light change on the rocks at sunset. It is the Seychelles at its most unhurried.

Private island retreat in the Seychelles
Private-island retreats

The Inner Islands

Around the main three lie a scatter of small private islands, each given over to a single retreat. North Island, Silhouette, Frégate and Cerf among them offer barefoot luxury within easy reach of Mahé, where the only footprints on the beach are your own. Some are sanctuaries for giant tortoises and rare birds, conservation and comfort side by side. These are the islands for a honeymoon or a special celebration, privacy and pampering with the sea on every side.

  • Private islands given to a single retreat
  • Barefoot luxury close to Mahé
  • Honeymoons and special celebrations

The Outer Islands

Far beyond the granite islands lie the coral atolls of the outer Seychelles, reached by light aircraft and seen by very few. Alphonse and Desroches are legends among divers and fly-fishers, with healthy reefs, big game fish and the famous flats where bonefish and trigger run. This is the Seychelles at its wildest and most remote, for travellers who want true seclusion and some of the finest diving and fishing in the Indian Ocean. It is a long way from anywhere, which is exactly the point.

  • World-class diving on healthy reefs
  • Fly-fishing the flats at Alphonse and Desroches
  • True seclusion, reached by light aircraft
