Itinerary-in-Brief

Deluxe Option

Days 1-3
Praslin Island, Haven of Serenity

Encircled by the azure Indian Ocean, the Seychelles archipelago presents the quintessential vision of a lost paradise: crystalline seas washing across pristine coral reefs, powdery beaches fringed by granite pinnacles, ancient rainforests unchanged in centuries. Strict conservation regulations govern and protect the outstanding beauty of the Seychelles and visitorship is limited to a select few, keeping the islands elegant and unspoiled. The island of Praslin is famous for its tranquil atmosphere, pristine beaches, and tropical forests including the fabulous Vallee de Mai, an enchanting nature reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site that protects rare black parrots and towering coco-de-mer palms, a species that occurs nowhere else on earth. Our choice for luxurious accommodation on Praslin is the 5-star all-suite Lemuria Resort, a Relais & Chateaux property whose architecture and interior design were created with natural materials such as wood, stone, pink granite, and thatch. At Lemuria, your days are filled with snorkeling in crystal-clear waters amid a kaleidoscope of tropical fish, sea kayaking along the edge of white-sand beaches, hiking in the Vallee de Mai, playing tennis, and golfing at the resort's spectacular championship 18-hole golf course.

Days 4-6
North Island—A Private Paradise

A private helicopter flight is your spectacular conveyance to North Island, one of the world's most exclusive hideaways. The island has only 11 guest villas and offers unmatched privacy, a vital element of North Island's ambiance. Mountain biking on miles and miles of trails, guided walks with resident ecologists, incredible snorkeling and diving the reef systems (including courses for beginners), sea kayaking, spotting rare tropical birds, and catered private beach picnics are all included. You are also welcome to join in day-to-day monitoring and research activity with the island's environmental team. Each villa is a private sanctuary with a private pool, master bedroom, separate dressing area, spacious bathroom with marble tub and indoor/outdoor showers, dining area, and second bedroom or study. Public facilities include a 150-foot-long swimming pool nestled into a granite outcrop, a health spa and gym overlooking the ocean, and a bar tucked away on the western side of the island. North Island has three separate exquisite sandy beaches and a dive center that is world class.
