Robinson Crusoe Relaxation in the Seychelles

After a long journey a driver will whisk you to your luxury hotel base for the next few nights. Head straight for lunch, where you can enjoy the beach views and maybe a first cocktail of the holiday.

The rest of the day is then yours to simply relax, catch up on some sleep on your sunlounger and then cool off in the pool or the turquoise ocean.

The snorkelling right off the shore is excellent in Praslin and we highly recommend dedicating some time to discovering the underwater world as well as the one above it. Additionally, you might like to make use of the hotel bikes and explore the beauty of the island away from your hotel.

Come evening, head back to freshen up before a special private dinner which the staff will have set up in a secret location.

A short 15-minute boat journey will take you over to little La Digue, which is entirely car-free. Because of this, all exploration has to be done by pedal power or ox cart, which just makes it all the more fun. Whichever way you choose to get around, hop between almost impossibly beautiful boulder-strewn beaches that look just like those you'll have seen in magazines - Seychelles is probably the ultimate #nofilter destination.

After a lazy day on La Digue take the ferry back to Praslin in time for sunset drinks and dinner. Our clued-up local Concierge can recommend the best places to eat on Praslin and book the best table in the house.

To get there you will need to fly back to Mahe, where a member of our team will escort you to another light aircraft for a second flight, direct to Denis Island. Though you do have to stop off in Mahe, both flights are nice and short so you'll have landed at your new home in good time for check in and then lunch.

This afternoon, spend some time exploring your new surroundings with a walk along the beach and a dip in the sea before dinner.

During your stay enjoy land-based excursions such as cycling or walking along some of the well-marked trails or joining the island rangers to track resident wildlife and record data to aid conservation efforts. The bird watching opportunities are particularly amazing here and if you're travelling between May and February, you can usually see either green or hawksbill turtles nesting.

For those who prefer the water to the forest, the reef around the island is as pristine as they come. Thanks to protection from the Seychelles government the marine life is thriving and tropical fish, turtles and other species can easily be spotted when snorkelling or diving. Beginners and pros can both be catered for by the PADI dive centre. As long as it adheres to the catch-and-release policy, deep sea fishing at the edge of the reef can also be organised, and exploration by kayak is also very popular.

The direct flight home leaves in the morning and takes around ten hours, so you will be back on British soil by late afternoon today.
