Reasons To
Visit The Seychelles

  • Beaches

    The Seychelles are world famous for their beaches and in rightly so. They really are as picture postcard beautiful as you imagine. The islands of Seychelles are fringed with perfect white sands ideal for beach lovers.

  • Coastal Scenery

    Taking a sailing trip is an excellent way to see more of the Seychelles’ beautiful island coastline. Swimming in secluded coves and exploring Robinson Crusoe-style desert islands is the stuff of daydreams.

  • Diving & Snorkelling

    Snorkelling and diving in the Seychelles are fantastic ways to see the diverse coral reefs and marine life. The best time to snorkel with whale sharks is in August and between October and January.

  • Luxury hotels

    There is a wide range of accommodation on the Seychelles including deluxe five-star hotels, Creole guesthouses, boutique hotels, plantation houses and exclusive private island hideaways (these have only one exclusive lodge). Accommodation locations range from the larger islands of Praslin and Mahé to sleepy La Digue and far flung Desroches.

  • Marine Wildlife

    The coral reefs and drop-offs are host to an array of marine life from the big game fish marlin, sailfish and tuna to the colourful reef fish which teem in schools around the coral.

  • Migratory birds

    The Seychelles is home to well over 200 species of birds that vary from residents that stay all year around, to migrants who pass through with the seasons. Bird Island, as the name suggests, is alone home to around 800,000 pairs of sooty terns.

  • Relaxation

    Lying back with a cocktail and occasionally dipping into the turquoise Indian Ocean to cool off is a wonderfully relaxing way to spend a day, or even a few!

  • Turtles

    If you visit from Oct-Jan you may be lucky enough to be joined by the Hawksbill turtles. Now critically endangered, they come ashore to dig their nests in the sand and then lay their eggs. A couple of months later (Dec-Mar)the hatchlings scuttle back into the sea during the night. The rare Green Turtle can be seen from June to September.

Accommodation in The Seychelles: Banyan Tree Seychelles

Banyan Tree Seychelles is one of the best hotels on the islands. It is very elegant, private and understated. The beach is superb and always quiet. We highly recommend it.

Whereas many of the world's luxurious hotels have become places to 'be seen', the Banyan Tree is where you come to hide away.

It is elegant, understated and very refined. With its cool wooden decking, white balustraded balconies and views of white sand and turquoise water it is simply, the place to stay.

Cool marble floors lead you to the bar with comfortable chairs, a fresh sea breeze and endless views. Nearby, there are two restaurants, one serving Thai cuisine and the other International (both are a la carte). There is a pool with comfy sunloungers, enchanting spa with variety of soothing treatments and beach with sunloungers and large green umbrellas.

All that said, it is perhaps the rooms that are so original. All are very well spaced apart and exceptionally private. Little golf buggies take you along the small paths to the rooms. There are hillside pool villas, villas by the rocks, beach villas and the two simply stunning Intendance villas. All villas have elegant furnishings with double or twin beds covered in fresh white linen. There are cool stone floors, wide glass windows with good views and every comfort including air-conditioning, satellite TV and DVD player and en-suite bathrooms with twin basins and large showers. Outside, decks with comfy views are set in the shade, perfect for relaxing in the evening with a cold drink.

Finally, for those that would like to be active, diving, snorkelling and boat trips can be arranged from the dive centre nearby.
