Enjoy the Seychelles on this fantastic 14-night island holiday to Mahé and Praslin, whilst staying at three lovely places in contrasting locations; spend 4 nights at the friendly, owner-run Le Sans Souci, high up in the mountains above Victoria; then relax for 4 nights at the original Acajou Hotel, which stands on a beautiful, quiet stretch of Anse Volbert Beach; and finally, you'll be welcome at the laid-back Anse Soleil Beachcomber, where you'll spend 4 nights amidst massive bamboos on the edge of Anse Soleil Beach.

Day 1

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

Days 2-5 Mahe Island, Seychelles

On arrival at the airport, you'll be met by one of our representatives and pick up a Mahe hire car. Your first hideaway stands in an impressive location high in the lush mountains above the Seychelles' capital, Victoria. Its location isn't a 'classic' Seychelles beach, but it is absolutely magnificent. To drive there will take about 30 minutes, and you can then enjoy 4 nights at the small, friendly…

Le Sans Souci (bed & breakfast)

Although not on the beach, Le Sans Souci is no less attractive than other places - this retreat presents you with terrific views over Victoria's harbour and the islands of Sainte Anne Marine Park. It's very friendly, and you're likely to have a relaxed, family-style banquet on the open-air terrace with your host Janine. With your own car, this place is perfect for exploring the island, and the capital is just a short 15-minutes drive away.

Days 6-9 Praslin Island, Seychelles

Leaving Le Sans Souci, you'll drive to the ferry terminal near Victoria to drop your rental car before the 45-minute catamaran crossing to Praslin. At Praslin's jetty you'll be met by one of our representatives, collect another hire car, and potter over to the northern coast of the island, where you'll spend 4 nights amidst beautiful tropical gardens at…

Acajou Hotel (bed & breakfast)

Your log-cabin-style room is set on a quiet section of the lovely Anse Volbert Beach – ideal for a peaceful seaside holiday. It's just a short walk along white, palm-fringed sands to the village and its restaurant and bars. The facilities at this friendly, well-run hotel include a large and curving outdoor swimming pool, two restaurants, a boutique and a small gym.

Days 10-13 Mahe Island, Seychelles

Leaving Acajou, you'll drive over to the ferry terminal and drop your car, before the 45-minute crossing back to Mahé Island. There you'll be met by one of our representatives and collect another rental car at the ferry terminal close to Victoria. It's then about 90 minutes' drive to the south-west of the island – where you'll spend the next 4 nights at….

Anse Soleil Beachcomber (bed & breakfast)

This small, relaxed hotel stands above a perfect crescent-shaped sandy beach, complete with picturesque rounded boulders. Anse Soleil Beachcomber is popular for its casual atmosphere and the excellent Creole restaurant next door. You can relax on the beach, or use your car to explore the rest of Mahé, with its charming capital, artists' studios and secluded tropical beaches.

Day 14

From Anse Soleil, it's perhaps 45 minutes' drive back to the airport. Your flight will usually be in the late evening, generally giving you enough time to meander and sight-see on the way. Arriving at the airport, you drop off the rental car, before your scheduled overnight flight back to the UK with Air Seychelles.

Day 15

Your flight arrives at London Heathrow early in the morning, giving you a full day to make connections with other flights or travel on to your home – at the end of a relaxing island-hopping holiday in the Seychelles.
