DISCOVER ThE SEyChEllESSitting like sparkling jewels just under the equator, lie 115 exquisite granite and coral islands, which make up The Seychelles. Long considered as one of the most beautiful island countries, you will discover powder soft beaches, turquoise lagoons teaming with tropical fish making them a diver’s paradise, and hotels ranging from lavish 5 star to small and intimate boutique resorts.

The best way to discover what The Seychelles have to offer is to get out on the ocean. Why not discover the Inner Islands with our scheduled yacht tours or perhaps your own private charter.

Mahe: Victoria, the capital city, and the international airport are located on Mahe, the largest island of The Seychelles. Flights and local ferries to the outer and inner islands depart from Mahe. The majority of the population live on Mahe and here you can discover local culture through the many local restaurants and arts and craft galleries, hire a car or do a 3 hour tour of the island or find a hidden treasure.

Praslin: only 45kms northeast of Mahe and the second largest island, Praslin only measures 10km by 3.7km. Walk through the Vallee de Mai, described as the “Garden of eden”, where the legendary Coco-de-Mer, the world’s heaviest nut, grows high on ancient palms. The beaches of Anze Lazio and Anze Georgette are regularly voted in the Top 10 List of the world’s best beaches.

la Digue: An island where time stands still, only 10sq kms in area, you will still find people getting around by ox cart. Hop on a bicycle and get into the island way of life, visit the traditional boat builders or swim at the breathtaking beaches, such as legendary Anse Source d’Argent, reputed to be the most photographed beach in the world.

Other Inner Islands: Bird Island, Cerf, Cousine, denis Island, Fregate, north Island, Silhouette, Round Island and St Anne offer accommodation from simple bungalows on the beach to luxurious chalets with butler service. our staff will be happy to put together the ultimate island-hopping holiday.

Outer Islands: 72 low-lying sand cays and atolls are less visited than the Inner islands but just as beautiful. They are pristine miniature worlds offering pristine diving, snorkelling, fishing and sailing. only two islands Alphonse and desroches offer accommodation.
