<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 />

for an unforgettable big-game fishing experience<br />

for both the seasoned and novice fisherman alike!<br />

You do not have to venture far from <strong>Seychelles</strong>’<br />

shores to break fishing records in the archipelago.<br />

It has become the epicenter of salt-water fly-fishing<br />

and blue-water fly-fishing is also becoming<br />

increasingly popular so come cast your fly lines!<br />

Mind, Body and Soul<br />

Whether nestling in dreamy, mountain-side pavilions<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 />

From the signature treatments of dedicated spas<br />

offering relaxing massages with exotic herbal oils,<br />

scrubs, detox baths and invigorating wet-treatments<br />

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

<strong>Seychelles</strong>’ spas hold the key to a complete<br />

renewal of mind, body and soul.<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 />

Heritage Sites: Aldabra, the world’s largest raised<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>.

out times are between 11am and 12 noon. Should<br />

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 />

• For full booking terms and conditions, please<br />
