Request informationA week in the Seychelles designed for quiet time together. When you land on Mahé, private assistance meets you at the airport, then the resort. The first days are for resting. Then you explore the island with a private driver and guide, around Victoria, the forested interior and the most secluded beaches, with a programme built around your interests. Mahé ends with a private sunset cruise or a romantic dinner, whichever you prefer.
You reach Praslin on the domestic flight and spend four nights at a luxury resort. With a private guide you visit the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Anse Lazio. You spend a day on a private boat around Curieuse and the nearby islands, and a day on La Digue, with time for an unhurried lunch and a swim away from the crowds.
The trip includes flights from Italy, seven nights in luxury resorts, all private transfers, the domestic flight to Praslin and the private days described. We choose the resorts and meal plan together. On request we add a helicopter or a few nights on a private island.
10 days in the programme
Departure from Italy on a flight to Mahé, with a stopover. Meals and overnight on board.
Arrival at Seychelles International Airport, on the east coast of Mahé. Private assistance at the airport and private transfer to the luxury resort chosen together, then check-in. Mahé is the largest island in the archipelago, with forested granite mountains running down to the sea and dozens of beaches, from small coves among the rocks to long stretches of sand. After the flight, the rest of the day is for resting and a first swim.
Free day, devoted to resting after the journey. Mahé's luxury resorts usually have a beach, pool, spa and water sports, to enjoy slowly and with no timetable. If you feel like going out, you can book separately a boat trip in the Sainte Anne marine park, a group of small islands just off Victoria, with snorkelling among coral and tropical fish, or a treatment at the resort spa. The rest of the day passes between beach and pool, until sunset.
A day exploring Mahé with a private driver and guide, with a programme built around your interests. You can start in Victoria, the small capital, with its clock tower, the covered market with fish, spices and tropical fruit, and the Hindu temple. Then the mountain road crosses the forest of Morne Seychellois, the national park covering the centre of the island, and winds down to the most secluded beaches on the coast. The day ends with the private sunset cruise or the romantic dinner, whichever you choose.
Private transfer to the airport and domestic flight to Praslin, a short flight over the sea with views of the islands. On request, the hop between the islands can be made by helicopter. On arrival, private transfer to the luxury resort and check-in for the next four nights. Praslin is the second largest island in the Seychelles, quieter than Mahé, with green hills, few roads and long, sheltered beaches. The afternoon is free, for a first swim and the sunset.
A day with a private guide. It starts at the Vallée de Mai, a palm forest and UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the coco de mer grows, the palm that produces the largest and heaviest seed in the world. The guide explains the plants and animals found only here, such as the black parrot, which you can hear along the shady trails. Then on to Anse Lazio, in the north of the island, with pale sand, granite boulders on either side and calm water, for an unhurried swim until late afternoon.
A day on a private boat to Curieuse and the nearby islands. Curieuse is a small protected island north of Praslin, where giant tortoises roam free and a boardwalk crosses the mangroves. In the marine park around the island there are stops for snorkelling among coral and tropical fish, and time to swim at leisure in the turquoise water. The boat is private, so stops and timings follow your pace. Back to the resort in the afternoon.
Private transfer to La Digue, a short distance from Praslin, for a tailor-made day. La Digue is small and slow, with few cars, roads travelled by bicycle and the village of La Passe near the harbour. You discover traditional island life, among Creole houses and the old plantation of the L'Union estate, and the granite landscapes. The main stop is Anse Source d'Argent, with its pink rocks and shallow lagoon. There is time for an unhurried lunch, not included, and for a swim away from the crowds. Back to Praslin.
Last morning on Praslin, with time for a last swim or a walk on the beach, depending on the flight time. You leave the resort without hurrying. Return to Mahé with a private transfer and, at the airport, flight back to Italy, with a stopover. The connections between the islands and all of the day's transfers are already arranged, so there is nothing to think about. Meals and overnight on board.
Arrival in Italy and end of the trip.
