Ultimate Guide to Luxury Travel in the Seychelles: Where to Stay and What to Do

Luxury travel in the Seychelles is more than just a holiday — it’s an experience of pure tranquillity, elegance, and natural beauty. This archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean is renowned for its white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush interiors. If you’re dreaming of tailor-made indulgence and a getaway you’ll remember forever, this guide covers where to stay, what to do, and why booking with Awake & Wander Luxury Travel ensures your holiday is completely protected.


With our expertise and access to exclusive offers, we help you plan the Seychelles escape you’ve always wanted, with all the reassurance of ATOL protection and supplier failure cover included.


Why Choose the Seychelles for a Luxury Holiday?


You’ll find serenity and sophistication at every turn in the Seychelles. Many islands remain largely untouched, offering an unspoilt setting for high-end resorts that blend seamlessly with the surroundings. With year-round warm weather, this is a destination where luxury feels effortless.


Are you looking for a place to unwind and reconnect? Then the Seychelles should be at the top of your list.

From private villas with infinity pools overlooking turquoise lagoons, to boutique hotels on secluded beaches, there’s something for every discerning traveller.

MAIA, on Mahé Island, is perfect for those who value privacy and attentive service. With just 30 secluded villas, each featuring a private pool, outdoor sunken bath, and panoramic views, it offers a level of exclusivity few places can match.


The butler service here is exceptional, and the resort’s focus on wellness is ideal if you’re after true relaxation. Dine anywhere you choose — on the beach, in your villa, or under the stars.

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.



Our Take:

“For us, the Seychelles embodies the art of slowing down and indulging in what truly matters — time, beauty, and connection. Let us craft your perfect escape, so you can simply enjoy every moment.”
