This ultimate 9-night beach holiday combines the best of the Seychelles: spend 3 nights in the peaceful, yet stylish surroundings of the Banyan Tree Seychelles on Mahé; then enjoy 4 nights at Le Château de Feuilles, Praslin's premier boutique hotel; you'll travel between these two islands by fast catamaran ferry, and be able to explore both with your own hire car.

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, you'll be met by our representative and collect a hire car for your time on Mahé at the airport. Your hotel is on the southern coast of the island, scattered around the beautiful and remote beach of Anse Intendance and its adjacent rocky island jungle. To drive there on a good road will take you approximately 90 minutes, leaving you free to enjoy the rest of the day. Then settle down for your first night at…

Banyan Tree Seychelles (bed & breakfast)

Here, you'll stay for 3 nights in one of the hotel's Hillside Pool Villas, set high up on the coastal cliff-face. Banyan Tree is the perfect retreat for couples trying to get away from the outside world, with lots of fine-dining options and an excellent Thai-style hillside spa. At the small on-site watersports centre, a variety of motorised and non-motorised activities can be arranged, including deep-sea fishing or snorkelling.

Days 5-8 Praslin Island, Seychelles

Leaving the Banyan Tree, you'll drive to the ferry terminal near Victoria and drop your car. A fast catamaran ferry takes you from Mahé to Praslin in about 45 minutes. On arrival, you'll be met and transferred with a private taxi to you hotel, which is about 20 minutes' drive from the jetty, on the southern coast of the island. Then spend 4 nights at...

Le Chateau de Feuilles (half board)

This small, very beautiful hotel has been designed and built with great care. It stands in a commanding position, high on its own hillside above the white sandy beaches of Anse Consolation and Anse Marie-Louise, and includes a hire car for you to explore Praslin. You'll also have a very special treat – Grand Soleur, a small island 6 km northeast of La Digue, is reserved for the exclusive use of Le Château's guests over the weekends!

Day 9

From Le Château de Feuilles, you'll be transferred to Praslin's ferry terminal with a private taxi, 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 arrives 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 very stylish, high-quality break in the Seychelles.
