What to Do: Unmissable Experiences in the Seychelles
Luxury travel in the Seychelles is as much about what you do as where you stay. Here are some of the top experiences to include in your itinerary.
Island-Hopping Adventures
Charter a private yacht or join an exclusive small-group tour to explore some of the other islands. Praslin and La Digue are particularly worth visiting for their striking beaches and traditional Creole charm.
You can also visit more remote islands like Silhouette or Denis, where nature dominates and crowds are few.
Private Beach Picnics
Many resorts can arrange private beach picnics on hidden coves. Picture a beautifully set table on soft sand, with no one else in sight. This is a memory you’ll treasure forever.
We can help arrange these moments as part of your tailor-made holiday — just let us know your preferences.
World-Class Diving and Snorkelling
The Seychelles is a paradise for underwater enthusiasts. Luxury resorts often have private dive guides who can take you to pristine coral reefs away from the busier spots.
You can also snorkel straight off the beach at many islands, with vibrant marine life just below the surface.
Spa and Wellness Experiences
The island atmosphere lends itself perfectly to wellness. Many high-end resorts have award-winning spas offering treatments inspired by local traditions. Yoga, meditation, and personalised wellness programmes are widely available.
