Seychelles

The Seychelles pairs granite-fringed beaches and clear Indian Ocean water with exceptional private-island resorts, tropical forests and a wonderfully unhurried style of luxury travel.

Granite islands, exceptional beaches and some of the Indian Ocean’s most private retreats

The Seychelles is an archipelago with distinct island personalities. Mahé and Praslin provide the main gateways, La Digue retains a slower character, and private islands such as North, Fregate and Denis can deliver extraordinary seclusion.

Island combinations are worth considering because landscapes, beaches and marine experiences differ. Helicopter and light-aircraft transfers can turn logistics into part of the journey, while snorkelling, diving, sailing and nature walks provide more than enough structure between quiet beach days.

Where to explore in Seychelles

Our current Seychelles collection takes in Alphonse Island, Denis Island, Fregate Island, L’Archipel, La Digue, North Island, Platte Island, Praslin and Six Senses Zil Pasyon. Each area has been selected because it adds something distinct to a tailor-made journey, whether that is wildlife, landscape, culture, food, coast or simply the chance to slow the pace.

Rather than treating these as a checklist, we can help decide which regions belong together and how long to spend in each. The aim is a journey that feels coherent, with sensible transfers and enough time to enjoy the properties and experiences along the way.

Who Seychelles suits

Seychelles works particularly well for honeymooners, families and privacy-focused travellers seeking dramatic beaches, nature and small-scale island stays. The detail can then be shaped around the people travelling – preferred pace, room or villa requirements, interests, celebrations and how much structure you want built into each day.

Planning your stay

Private Hideaway Escapes can arrange the complete journey, including handpicked accommodation, private transfers, internal flights where appropriate, guides and experiences. We can also combine Seychelles with another destination when the routing genuinely improves the trip rather than simply adding another stop.
