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.

Places that tell a deeper story.
For those who dare to explore.
Ker & Downey® Africa reveals the heart of each country through its most iconic and undiscovered places. From legendary landmarks to hidden gems, each journey connects you to the landscapes, cultures, and stories that shape a nation.
Denis Island
Denis is a coral atoll retreat where barefoot bliss meets conservation. Here, giant tortoises roam freely, reef life vibrates just offshore, and every villa is a gateway to sea turtle nesting and island solitude.
Desroches Island
Desroches is a private paradise of turquoise channels and long sandy beaches. Stay in luxurious beachfront villas, snorkel pristine reefs teeming with rays, and embrace both active and restful days in utter seclusion.
Félicité Island
