Seychelles

If you are looking for beautiful beaches, clear blue sea and wonderful hospitality then look no further than the islands of the Seychelles.

My recent trip started with a direct flight from Gatwick- Seychelles which operates on a Sunday and for extra comfort why not upgrade to Pearl Class. After a short wait in Mahe we flew by light aircraft to Praslin where we stayed at Coco De Mer Hotel – a beautiful setting with real seclusion and perfect for weddings, you can even explore the island by crewed yacht.

These islands are perfect for Honeymooners but families are also well catered for as well. The 5 Star luxury Lemuria Resort boasts an 18-hole championship golf course with superb accommodation and facilities set on two beaches. The Paradise Sun is another excellent hotel with an idyllic setting for weddings on the beach and also family holidays. There are many more excellent Hotels and self-catering properties to suit your pocket. A visit to the World Heritage Site of Valle de Mai on Praslin is a must.

Liphook Travel, Denis Island    If possible incorporate a stay on Denis Island, a privately owned coral island where you will find total relaxation and tranquillity, where life seems to virtually stand still. The same applies to La Digue, which is a short ferry ride from Praslin.

Back on Mahe there are so many sights to visit including the capital, Victoria. The ultimate in luxury is the brand new Banyan Tree which opened in February this year and where I had the pleasure of staying in a Beach Front Villa with private treatment area, swimming pool and Jacuzzi.
My visit to the beautiful islands of the Seychelles was a truly memorable experience.
