Seychelles

Granite-cradled beaches

Honeymoons·Couples·Yacht weeks
The brief

The Seychelles — granite boulders, jungle-cradled beaches and an Indian Ocean stillness.

More dramatic than the Maldives, more layered than Mauritius. The Seychelles deliver the only beaches in the world fringed by giant granite outcrops. North Island for the bucket-list private week, Six Senses Zil Pasyon for the design honeymoon, the Four Seasons on Mahé for the calibrated family stay.

Yacht weeks among the inner islands are increasingly the way we book them.
