<strong>Seychelles</strong><br />
not just another place, another world
Welcome to the<br />
<strong>Seychelles</strong><br />
Located in the azure waters of the Indian<br />
ocean, just over 2 hours flight from<br />
Mauritius, 2 ½ hours from Reunion<br />
island, 4 hours flight from Dubai<br />
and Johannesburg and 6 hours from<br />
Singapore, are the exotic islands of the<br />
<strong>Seychelles</strong>. Stretching from four to ten<br />
degrees south of the equator, and made<br />
up of over 100 islands, the <strong>Seychelles</strong><br />
lies outside the cyclone belt, keeping the<br />
country safe from tropical storms, and<br />
resulting in year-round sunshine, with<br />
temperatures ranging from 25°c to 32°c.<br />
These spectacular tropical islands are<br />
a mix of towering granite rocks, lush<br />
tropical forests, unexplored atolls fringed<br />
by teeming coral reefs and some of the<br />
world’s most spectacular beaches.<br />
The <strong>Seychelles</strong> is a dream destination<br />
and has a variety of accommodation<br />
options available, however many do<br />
not live up to the quality and standards<br />
expected of international travellers. To<br />
ensure you enjoy your dream holiday,<br />
we have focused on selected resorts that<br />
offer the highest standards to ensure your<br />
holiday investment returns incredibly fond<br />
and treasured memories.<br />
Island hopping is a great way to discover<br />
the different islands of the <strong>Seychelles</strong>.
General Information<br />
Whatever time of year you plan your<br />
visit you’re sure to have the opportunity<br />
to bask in warm equatorial sunshine.<br />
November to January are warmer months<br />
and can mean higher rainfall. <strong>Seychelles</strong><br />
weather patterns are predominantly<br />
influenced by the two main trade winds<br />
which shift twice a year.<br />
During the months of May to October<br />
the south-east trade wind blows, leading<br />
to relatively cooler, drier and windier<br />
conditions, peaking in July and August.<br />
The wind shifts in November into a<br />
<strong>Travel</strong> in Style<br />
Award winning Emirates provides flights<br />
to more than 120 destinations worldwide<br />
offering daily flights from Malta International<br />
airport with onward connections to<br />
<strong>Seychelles</strong> via Dubai. Winner of numerous<br />
international awards, their modern fleet with<br />
the latest in-flight entertainment facilities<br />
offer generous seat pitches in economy (32”<br />
to 34”), with adjustable footrest, headrest<br />
and lumbar support. Business Class offers<br />
a 60” to 62” seat pitch, sleeperette seats.<br />
First class sleeper seats have a pitch of 72”<br />
to 87”, plus a 7 course meal choice.<br />
pre-north west condition, when the<br />
temperature warms up and winds remain<br />
very light. The north-west trade winds<br />
occur from December to March, causing<br />
a slightly wetter season coupled with<br />
higher temperatures.<br />
The changing trade winds mean it is<br />
very important to consider where you<br />
stay when choosing a holiday in the<br />
<strong>Seychelles</strong>. Resorts such as Sainte Anne<br />
Resort & Spa offer guests a year round<br />
holiday destination as the choice of<br />
beaches on both the east and west side of<br />
the islands ensures guests have protection<br />
from the winds<br />
.
Activities<br />
Sailing<br />
Outside the cyclone belt and offering a year-<br />
round sailing season, moderate swells and gentle<br />
tides, there is no better way to enjoy <strong>Seychelles</strong><br />
than by cruising its pristine waters by catamaran,<br />
keelboat, bareboat or kayak. Inner Islands with<br />
their secure moorings, myriad beaches, golden<br />
sands, hidden bays and secret coves and the<br />
Outer Islands of virgin territories featuring stunning<br />
lagoons are perfect for an island-hopping<br />
excursion.<br />
Diving<br />
Open the door to a vast world of marine extravagance<br />
as diverse and vibrant as it is unique.<br />
The Inner Islands, the remains of a submerged<br />
mountain range, rest on a shallow plateau that<br />
has encouraged prolific growth of marine life<br />
while the ‘Outer Islands’ are largely uninhabited<br />
and present the experienced diver with excellent<br />
diving spots where few have gone before. All diving<br />
is supervised by internationally qualified and<br />
insured Dive instructors with a number of courses<br />
of instruction available.<br />
Swimming and Snorkelling<br />
Step from uncrowded beaches straight into the<br />
warm embrace of the purest turquoise water<br />
and live your dream of a perfect tropical island<br />
lifestyle in the land of perpetual summer. And<br />
in the waters just offshore, you will discover the<br />
enchantment of the <strong>Seychelles</strong> marine parks<br />
where a living aquarium awaits you in the form<br />
of colourful schooling reef fish, octopus, lobster<br />
and turtle.<br />
Water sports<br />
For thrills of the ocean, enjoy a selection of water<br />
sports like water-skiing, parachute rides, jet-skis,<br />
banana rides and so much more. The waves and<br />
wind offer great windsurfing opportunities for<br />
the novice and expert alike. Kite surfing is also<br />
popular.<br />
Fishing<br />
The stuff of fisherman’s tales- <strong>Seychelles</strong> makes<br />

and blue-water fly-fishing is also becoming<br />
increasingly popular so come cast your fly lines!<br />

overlooking the ocean or occupying stylish<br />
niches within the luxurious cocoons of 5-star<br />
resorts, <strong>Seychelles</strong>’ spas offer natural elegance<br />
and refinement in pristine surrounds promising<br />
the ultimate voyage of personal transformation.<br />

to a full range of beauty and grooming services,<br />

Walks and Trails<br />
<strong>Seychelles</strong> is a pristine sanctuary for diverse species<br />
of flora and fauna to be discovered by organized<br />
walks and trails though the lush countryside.<br />
Nowhere else on earth will you find unique<br />
endemic specimens such as the fabulous Cocode-mer,<br />
the largest seed in the world, the jellyfish<br />
tree, with only eight surviving examples, the<br />
<strong>Seychelles</strong>’ paradise flycatcher and <strong>Seychelles</strong><br />
warbler.<br />
<strong>Seychelles</strong> is also home to two U.N.E.S.C.O World<br />

coral atoll and Praslin’s Vallée de Mai, once<br />
believed to be the original site of the Garden of<br />
Eden.<br />
From the smallest frog to the heaviest land<br />
tortoise and the only flightless bird of the Indian<br />
Ocean, <strong>Seychelles</strong> nurtures an amazing array of<br />
endemic species within surrounds of exceptional<br />
natural beauty.<br />
Under the Stars<br />
Enjoy the unique atmosphere of the local clubs<br />
and bars where you can dance to the latest music<br />
until the small hours. Most large hotels have<br />
public bars and often host their own programmes<br />
of evening entertainment were you can try local<br />
dances such as the Sega and Moutia. Your can<br />
even tst lady luck at casinos on Mahe and Praslin.
Mahe<br />
Mahé is the largest island of the <strong>Seychelles</strong> and home to the capital, Victoria, the<br />
international airport and most of the Seychellois population. Mahe is 27 kms long<br />
by 10 kms wide and offers visitors an enchanting mix of tropical forests,<br />
majestic mountains, massive granite rocks and over sixty eight different beaches,<br />
dotted around the island.<br />
Most visitors arrive here only to transfer<br />
to their hotels on one of the other more<br />
exotic islands, but Mahé is certainly<br />
worth a look if you have the time.<br />
On the east coast, Victoria, the small<br />
bustling capital is the focus of all<br />
commercial activity and is easily<br />
explored on foot. Tropical vegetation,<br />
exotic fruits and street markets nestle<br />
alongside internet cafes, banks and<br />
restaurants.<br />
The main tourist centre on Mahe is<br />
Beau Vallon on the north west coast,<br />
which has a nice beach and an array<br />
of watersports including waterskiing,<br />
parasailing and banana boat rides.<br />
Other places on interest include Baie<br />
Lazare with its long span of beach, the<br />
art studios in Anse a la Mouche and<br />
Anse aux Poules Bleues in the south and<br />
Morne Seychellois National Park, home<br />
to Mahé’s tallest peak at 905 metres.<br />
Mahé is surrounded by a string of<br />
satellite islands, six of which are found<br />
just off the east coast and help to create<br />
Victoria’s natural harbour. The most<br />
luxurious island is Sainte Anne, which<br />
feature an amazing marine park and an<br />
outstanding five star resort. This island<br />
is often used as a gateway to Mahe and<br />
island hopping tours by visitors wanting<br />
a fantastic island resort yet only ten<br />
minutes from the mainland.
Praslin<br />
Praslin is the second largest of the <strong>Seychelles</strong> islands and is easily accessible from<br />
Mahe by a regular air transfer which takes approximately twenty minutes or by<br />
sea via a fast catamaran ferry or a more relaxed paced schooner.<br />
The island is home to some of the worlds finest<br />
beaches including Anse Lazio, voted one of the<br />
world’s best beaches and Anse Volbert located on<br />
the spectacular C’ote d’Or.<br />
Praslin is also home to the<br />
UNESCO World Heritage site, the Vallee<br />
de Mai, which features the Coco-de-Mer,<br />
a palm unique to the <strong>Seychelles</strong>. Lush<br />
tropical vegetation dots this pristine<br />
island and complements the amazing<br />
lagoons which have an abundance of<br />
different marine life.<br />
The pace on Praslin is very laid back and leisurely<br />
and although public transport does exist, car,<br />
bicycle and foot are the most popular way to<br />
explore this island. Highlights of Praslin include<br />
the village of Baie Ste Anne, Cote d’Or, the Vallee<br />
de Mai and Grand Anse, the largest<br />
village on Praslin. The jetty in Praslin<br />
also offers visitors a daily departure to<br />
visit the exotic nearby island, La Digue,<br />
one of the most photographed islands in<br />
the world.
La Digue & outer Islands<br />
La Digue is considered to be the most traditional island of the <strong>Seychelles</strong><br />
and is accessible from Praslin via regular water taxis.<br />
Accommodation is very basic and mainly<br />
consists of guest houses so most visitors tend<br />
to take a day trip from Mahe or Praslin. Life is<br />
very easy going with walking, bicycles and the<br />
traditional ox cart the main means of transport.<br />
La Digue is most famous for its spectacular<br />
beaches including Anse Source D’Argent, one<br />
of the world’s best and most photographed<br />
beaches.<br />
For those wanting to venture inland, a<br />
visit to Veuve Reserve is recommended.<br />
This reserve is home to the rare black<br />
paradise flycatcher only found in the<br />
<strong>Seychelles</strong>. A visit to L’Union coconut<br />
plantation is also suggested. This is also<br />
the entry to the famous beach Anse<br />
Source D’Argent.
Sainte Anne’<br />
Sainte Anne Island is the largest of the satellite islands near Mahe, and<br />
is the perfect gateway to Mahe and beyond, offering guests a luxury island vacation and<br />
only a mere ten minutes by boat from the mainland, Mahe.<br />
This beautiful island was discovered on<br />
Sainte Anne’s Day and was the first place the<br />
early French settlers lived before colonising<br />
nearby Mahe. Now amidst the islands tropical<br />
unspoilt vegetation lies the stunning Sainte<br />
Anne Resort & Spa, a five star all villa private<br />
island sanctuary.<br />
Occupying nearly a mile of undulating<br />
coastline the only sounds are rustling<br />
palm trees and gentle waves lapping<br />
the white sandy beaches. Teeming with<br />
marine life the three beaches at Sainte<br />
Anne offer a unique experience of<br />
complete harmony and nature.<br />
Sainte Anne Island is surrounded by a<br />
Marine National Park, home to more<br />
than 150 species of fish and magnificent<br />
underwater life. The island also offers<br />
fantastic hiking trails with pathways<br />
winding through lush tropical vegetation<br />
and rising to a peak of 240 metres.<br />
Sainte Anne is one of the most stunning<br />
islands in the <strong>Seychelles</strong> and its close<br />
proximity to Mahe and choice of beaches<br />
make it the perfect year round holiday<br />
destination in the <strong>Seychelles</strong>.

you require an early check-in or late check-out<br />
please advise our sales staff at time of booking.<br />
Please note that a charge amounting to up to<br />
1 additional nights accommodation will be payable.<br />
• Currency – for those countries that you cannot<br />
buy the local currency in advance we recommend<br />
that you bring US dollars.<br />
• Religious & Public Holidays in some countries<br />
may affect your holiday as some facilities may<br />
not be available – please check with our travel<br />
consultants.<br />
• Hotel standards vary from country to country<br />
– please be aware that a five star hotel in one<br />
country may compare to a four star in another<br />
country – it is important you read the hotel<br />
description carefully.<br />
• Sea plane transfers only operate during daylight<br />
hours. If your flight into <strong>Seychelles</strong> arrives late at<br />
night, or if you have a very early morning departure,<br />
it may be necessary to stay overnight at an<br />
island close to Male airport or at the airport hotel.<br />
• Due to increased passenger numbers and<br />
security in international airports, we strongly<br />
recommend that you check-in for your flight at<br />
least 3 hours prior to departure.<br />
• Finally, in the unlikely event that you have any<br />
reason for complaint, it is important that you<br />
speak to our ground agents locally, or by calling<br />
our sales team, where every effort will be made<br />
to resolve the matter immediately. Should this<br />
not be possible, please forward full details of your<br />
complaint to our customer service department<br />
who will try to resolve the complaint.<br />
