Seychelles Luxury Vacations








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.

Where to go
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.
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
Félicité offers dramatic granite boulder landscapes and sophisticated villa sanctuaries. Arrive by helicopter, toast sunset over the ocean, explore untouched beaches, and indulge in wellness rituals under the stars.
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.

EXCELLENT Based on 73 reviews Posted on Google Kyle PalmieriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My father and I put our trust into Ker & Downey to put together a once in a lifetime trip to Egypt and they did not fail. Everything went flawless and K&D provided a true white-glove experience, that was above and beyond our expectations. I am so thankful we went with K&D, working with this team was fantastic and paid off. Thank you all.Posted on Google Tracey de KockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most incredible travel company I have ever dealt with! They tailor make your trip to exactly what suits you and do not miss a detail. No one else comes close to them when it comes to African safari curated holidays. Thank you we already looking at our next trip !Posted on Google Shani DassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a safari in Kenya through Ker & Downey and had a wonderful experience. Sarah and the team were very professional and communication was exceptional and were always available. The hotels they recommended were great and matched what we requested. It was stress free from start to end. We will definitely go with them againPosted on Google Lynn BeardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We returned home from our safari in Tanzania about two weeks ago. It was arranged by the incomparable Tamsyn "Tam" Young of Ker & Downey and was hands down the best vacation we've ever experienced. From my first inquiry to today, Tam made the entire experience outstanding. She was with us when our flights to Tanzania (arranged by us) were all messed up by delays. While we were sitting in airports, she was busy rearranging our plans so we wouldn't miss a beat. The camps where Tam booked us were unforgettable and staffed by unforgettable people. Our game drivers were absolutely outstanding. We saw gobs of animals, including close ups with elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. We also saw two wildebeest crossings on the same day. We are convinced our trip would not have been the same if not for Tam and Ker & Downey. Top notch service!Posted on Google Gillian JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So helpful and knowledgeablePosted on Google Emina BegovicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience working with Ker & Downey, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. A special thank you to Tamsyn Young, who planned an incredible African itinerary for me on extremely short notice, just two weeks before departure. Tamsyn stayed in regular contact throughout the planning process and during my travels, carefully coordinated every detail around my flight schedule, and ensured that all of the ground logistics were completely seamless. From airport transfers to lodge connections, everything worked flawlessly, allowing me to simply enjoy the experience. The trip itself was unforgettable. Gorilla trekking was a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Every destination, accommodation, and activity was thoughtfully selected and flawlessly executed. Thank you, Tamsyn and the entire Ker & Downey team, for creating such an extraordinary adventure!Posted on Google Frank GrosspietschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sarah Morris and her team from Ker & Downey Africa arranged an incredible 3 night stay at the Atzaro Okavango Camp in Botswana. From arranging the flights (helicopter and fixed wing), responding to our questions and requests, they were exceptional and very quick in their responses. As for the accommodations, facilities and most importantly, the staff at the camp were incredible.Posted on Google Sarah KraemerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
