Day by day
This is a sample plan, not a fixed departure. Days can be added, removed or reordered, and almost every client changes something. Prices are an entry-level guide; your quote will be exact.
Days 1-5: Seychelles
Seychelles is an archipelago made up of 115 islands just off the eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. The most popular islands to stay on include Mahe, Praslin, La Digue, Silhouette, Bird Island and Denis Private Island.
You’ll find varied landscapes in Seychelles, as well as some of the world’s finest beaches. The variety of wildlife is dazzling – be sure to visit the giant Aldabra tortoises on Praslin island. You can also go snorkelling and explore the reefs.
The accommodation on offer here is spectacular, with options including treehouse-style villas in the mountains.
Days 6-12: The Maldives
Continue to the Maldives, a destination synonymous with relaxation and luxury. This archipelago, comprising scores of tiny islands, is celebrated for its minimal landmass and extraordinary marine biodiversity. Here, you’ll find yourself in a world dominated by crystal clear lagoons and soft white sand beaches.
The Maldives is our most popular destination for a relaxing, luxury escape. The islands that comprise the Maldives are so small they have almost no land mammals. You’ll find extraordinary marine life however, as well as crystal clear lagoons and white sand beaches.
Spend the second half of your trip unwinding in an overwater villa. You’ll have direct lagoon access from your private deck. Swim with manta-rays, enjoy the best of your all-inclusive package, and enjoy the intimacy and exclusivity of a private island.
Our Experts
The Maldives is a stand-out when it comes to luxury travel and our most popular destination. We are also proud to be able to work with properties that are welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.
Staying in an over-water bungalow is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'd recommend to any traveller. It's amazing to swim in some of the world's most impressive coral reefs and the sunset's divine.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
