Seychelles Luxury Travel: A Sample Itinerary
Days 1 - 3
Your unique Indian Ocean adventure begins in Seychelles' granite islands before exploring Madagascar's endemic wildlife wonderland.
Day one welcomes you to Mahé's Victoria, the world's smallest capital, exploring colourful markets showcasing Creole culture blending African, French, and British influences since settlement began in 1770. Visit the Botanical Gardens housing coco de mer palms - the legendary "love nut" that grows only in Seychelles and once sold for more than gold in European markets. Your second day ventures to Vallée de Mai on Praslin, a UNESCO World Heritage primeval forest where coco de mer palms have grown for millions of years, plus relaxation at Anse Lazio consistently rated among the world's most beautiful beaches. Day three offers island hopping to La Digue, where ox-carts remain the primary transport and Anse Source d'Argent's granite boulders create the most photographed beach in the world.
Days 4 - 7
Days four through seven explore Madagascar's incredible biodiversity and unique landscapes.
Your fourth day flies to Antananarivo, Madagascar's capital, exploring Rova palace complex reflecting the island's Malagasy kingdom heritage before French colonization in 1896, plus markets showcasing vanilla, ylang-ylang, and other spices that made the island famous. Day five journeys to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, where morning calls of Indri lemurs - Madagascar's largest primates - echo through rainforests that have evolved in isolation for 160 million years since the island separated from Africa. Your sixth day explores Analamazaotra Reserve searching for 11 lemur species found nowhere else on Earth, plus chameleons, fossas, and endemic birds that make Madagascar one of the world's top biodiversity hotspots. Day seven offers cultural immersion with Malagasy villages where 18 distinct ethnic groups maintain traditions blending Asian, African, and Polynesian influences reflected in rice terraces and ancestral ceremonies.
Days 8 - 12
Your final stretch returns to Seychelles paradise for ultimate relaxation and marine adventures.
Day eight flies back to Seychelles for exploring Cousin Island Special Reserve, where conservation efforts since the 1960s have saved endemic species like the Seychelles warbler from near-extinction. Day nine offers diving or snorkeling in pristine waters where coral reefs support over 1,000 fish species, or simply relaxing on beaches where giant Aldabra tortoises roam freely as they have for centuries. Your tenth day visits artisan workshops on La Digue where traditional coconut oil production and boat building continue using techniques passed down through generations of Seychellois families. Day eleven features sailing between granite islands on traditional schooners, stopping at secluded beaches accessible only by boat where fairy terns nest in takamaka trees. Day twelve concludes with sunrise yoga on powder-soft sand and farewell Creole dining featuring fresh fish and tropical fruits, carrying memories of two destinations showcasing both unique wildlife evolution and pristine island paradise in the western Indian Ocean.
