Adventure and Exploration in the Seychelles
Overview
Where stillness, sea, and self reconnect
This 10-night journey through the Seychelles is designed to slow you down, tune you in, and restore balance through nature, movement, and mindful luxury.

Check-in
Alphonse Island
Your journey begins far beyond the usual routes, on Alphonse Island – a remote coral atoll where the rhythm of the ocean defines each day. With no crowds and no distractions, this is a place to truly disconnect. Days unfold gently: barefoot walks along powder-white beaches, time spent in the water, and long, quiet moments under wide open skies. Life here is simple by design, encouraging presence, rest, and reconnection with nature at its purest.
Accommodation
Alphonse Island
Alphonse Island’s beachfront bungalows and villas are designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape. Natural materials, open-plan living, and direct beach access create a sense of ease and intimacy with the environment. With thoughtful service and understated comfort, the emphasis is on space, privacy, and quiet immersion in island life.
Experiences
Wellness here is instinctive and ocean-led. Begin your mornings with yoga or gentle stretching, followed by snorkelling vibrant reefs or kayaking across shallow lagoons. Spend afternoons swimming, fishing sustainably, or simply resting in the shade. Evenings are for nourishing meals, barefoot strolls, and stargazing.
