Islands of Silent Wonder: A 12‑Day Luxury Seychelles Itinerary

Imagine stepping barefoot onto warm, powder‑soft sand, the rhythm of gentle waves mingling with the scent of frangipani carried on the breeze.

Day‑by‑Day: A Glimpse Into the Journey

Day 1 – Departure: Let the rhythm shift

Your journey begins with a private transfer to the airport. As the plane lifts off, you already sense time stretching ahead like a slow tide.

Days 2–4 – La Digue: Life in slow motion

Arrive in La Digue, where bicycles replace cars and beaches feel like your own private world. Check into a villa tucked among granite and palms. Spend your mornings cycling to Anse Source d’Argent before the crowds arrive, and afternoons snorkeling off hidden coves or hiking with a private guide to panoramic island views. Evenings are for candlelit dinners scented with ocean air.

Days 5–7 – Praslin: Elevated seclusion

A short ferry carries you to Praslin, where your villa’s infinity pool seems to pour directly into the sea. Explore the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or set sail by private yacht to islands teeming with giant tortoises and untouched reefs. Spa treatments open to the breeze and seafood dinners under a blanket of stars complete your days.

Days 8–10 – Mahé: The final sanctuary

Fly to Mahé for your last chapter—an intimate luxury retreat with just 30 villas, each with its own butler and ocean views. Wander spice gardens with a guide, indulge in personalized culinary experiences on your terrace, and savor the serenity of a private beach where time seems to stand still.

Days 11–12 – Homeward bound

Wake to one last sunrise breakfast on your villa’s terrace before your private driver returns you to the airport, leaving you with not just memories, but the lingering rhythm of these rare islands.

How long should you spend in the Seychelles?

Twelve days allows you to immerse yourself in three distinct island experiences without rushing. It’s a great balance between exploration and rest.

Exclusive touches that set this journey apart

• Private charters & insider access: Cruise to Coco and Félicité islands where only a handful of guests ever snorkel each season.

• Handpicked villas: From granite‑carved outdoor baths to cliffside pools, every property exudes quiet elegance.

• Curated pace: Activities and downtime are designed to awaken your senses without overwhelming them.
