Seychelles

The Seychelles is warm year-round and sits outside the cyclone belt, so there is no bad season. The calmest all-round conditions come in the shoulder windows of April to May and October to November, with glassy seas and the finest diving. The southeast trade winds (June to September) are breezier and cooler — good for sailing — while the northwest winds (December to March) are warmer and better for diving.

Seven to ten nights suits most trips, and the islands reward island-hopping — a resort base on Mahe with a private charter to Praslin and La Digue, whose Anse Source d'Argent is among the most beautiful beaches in the world. Honeymooners often add a few nights of complete seclusion on a private island. We arrange the inter-island flights and boat transfers so the joins are seamless.

Yes, and it is the best way to see the archipelago. From Mahe there are short flights and boat transfers to Praslin and La Digue, and helicopter or light-aircraft connections to the private islands. We plan the routing and connections so the joins are seamless rather than a series of long waits.

On Mahe, Cheval Blanc Seychelles — LVMH's sixth Maison, opened in December 2024 on Anse Intendance — sets 52 pool villas by Jean-Michel Gathy between the beach and the jungle hills, while Four Seasons Seychelles tumbles down a jungled hillside above Petite Anse in treehouse-style villas, each with its own plunge pool. For total seclusion, North Island — eleven handcrafted villas on a private granite island famous for its conservation rewilding and a royal honeymoon — is among the most exclusive addresses in the Indian Ocean.

You pay the same rate as booking direct and gain preferred-partner benefits and honeymoon touches — breakfast, upgrades when available, and credits, with the occasion flagged so the resorts prepare a private welcome. The real value is the island-hopping: combining a resort base with private charters between islands, and arranging every connection from Mahe.
