An Archipelago of Two Souls

The 115 islands of the Seychelles are scattered across a vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, and they are best understood as a nation of two distinct personalities.

• The Granitic Heart: The inner islands—including Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue—are the dramatic heart of the nation. They are the only mid-ocean granitic islands in the world, characterised by lush, mountainous interiors that cascade down to some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. Their coastlines are natural sculpture parks, where colossal, time-worn granite boulders frame perfect crescents of powder-fine sand.

• The Coral Fringe: Farther afield lie the outer islands. These are low-lying coralline atolls and sand cays, remote and sparsely populated. This is a wilder, flatter world, the exclusive domain of vast seabird colonies, nesting sea turtles, and a vibrant, undisturbed marine ecosystem. To journey here is to feel a true sense of exploration and utter seclusion.

The Art of Being

In the Seychelles, the greatest experiences are often the simplest ones, elevated to an art form by the perfection of the surroundings.

Walk Through a Primordial Forest

On the island of Praslin lies the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often believed to be the original Garden of Eden. Stepping into this forest is like entering a prehistoric world. You will walk beneath the canopy of giant, endemic Coco de Mer palms, listen for the call of the rare Seychelles black parrot, and feel the profound stillness of a place that has remained unchanged for millennia.

A Gallery of Beaches

The beaches of the Seychelles are consistently named among the world’s best, but to see them is to understand they are more than just sand and sea. Each is a masterpiece with its own character. We can arrange for you to discover them in near solitude, from the iconic granite sculptures of Anse Source d’Argent to the sweeping, wild beauty of Anse Intendance. A day spent sailing between these coves on a private charter is the definitive way to appreciate this gallery of natural art.

The Living Aquarium

The waters surrounding the islands are a treasure, diligently protected and teeming with life. The experience of gliding through the warm, clear sea is like swimming in a vast, natural aquarium. We guide you to the best spots for snorkelling and diving in protected marine parks, where you can swim alongside gentle sea turtles, eagle rays, and countless species of colourful reef fish in a vibrant, healthy coral ecosystem.

Your Private Sanctuary

The concept of a private sanctuary is perfected in the Seychelles. Here, accommodation is not just a place to sleep, but an integral part of the experience, designed to immerse you in the surrounding beauty while providing absolute comfort and seclusion.
