Enjoy the Seychelles on this 9-night island holiday and stay at two charming beach hotels: spend 3 nights based on the beach at Clef des Iles, exploring the beautiful scenery and beaches of Mahé with you own hire car, then sail by fast ferry to Praslin where you'll also have your own car to get around, and stay for 4 nights at the smart, modern Le Duc de Praslin.

Day 1

Your scheduled Air Seychelles overnight flight will take you from London Heathrow to Mahé Island, where you land early in the morning.

Days 2-4 Mahe Island, Seychelles

On arrival in the morning, you'll be met by our representative and collect your hire car at Seychelles International Airport. Your hotel is on the north coast of Mahé, right on the beach of the stunning Beau Vallon Bay. To drive there on a good road won't take much longer than 45 minutes or so – leaving you free to enjoy the rest of the day exploring, then relax for your first night at…

Clef des Iles (accommodation only)

At this relaxed, self-catering property you'll stay for 3 nights. Beau Vallon Beach is very popular, with plenty of local-style bars and restaurants (the famous Baobab Pizzeria is right next to your hotel), several dive centres, and 2km of white sandy beach, stretching right in front of your doorstep. It's relatively busy by Seychellois standards, but there are enough quite spots to relax and unwind.

Days 5-8 Praslin Island, Seychelles

Leaving Clef des Iles, you'll drive over to the ferry terminal near Victoria and drop your hire car. A fast catamaran ferry takes you from Mahé to Praslin Island in about 45 minutes. On arrival in Praslin, you'll pick up another car at the ferry terminal, and meander to the other side of the island in an hour or so. Here, you'll spend 4 nights at…

Le Duc de Praslin (bed & breakfast)

Just one block back from the beautiful sands of Anse Volbert, this small hotel is probably the best value place to stay within its class on Praslin. There are a handful of restaurants and watersports centres nearby, and for those seeking total privacy, some small deserted islands, like Chauve Souris and St. Pierre, are just a short boat ride away.

Day 9

From Côte D'Or, you'll drive back to Praslin's ferry terminal and drop your car, before the 45-minute crossing back to Mahé. On arrival, you'll be met and transferred to Seychelles International Airport, which takes approximately 20 minutes, to catch your scheduled overnight flight back to the UK with Air Seychelles.

Day 10

Your flight touches down in London Heathrow early in the morning, giving you a full day to make connections with other flights or to travel on to your home – after a laid-back Seychelles beach holiday.
