Seychelles

A sanctuary of Creole spirit and endless ocean horizons.

Seychelles is a private island dream come to life — where granite shorelines meet Indian Ocean brilliance. Navigate this intimate archipelago aboard a private yacht or helicopter, hopping between lush islets and secret coves. Unwind in villas that open onto powder‑white sand, dive with turtles among coral gardens, and dine on freshly caught seafood beneath starlit skies. Whether you’re nurturing romance in a secluded spa, hiking to panoramic viewpoints on Mahé, or drifting through marine sanctuaries, Seychelles delivers an elevated, barefoot escape that is as serene as it is sumptuous.
