Seychelles - 7 Nights Raffles Seychelles

The Seychelles, to the discerning, luxury traveler is synonymous with the world’s most beautiful islands and beaches. As nature intended – it’s one of the world’s best-kept secrets and ranks amongst the purest destinations anywhere. So pure indeed, that the second largest island, Praslin, was once thought to be the Garden of Eden. Now, surrounded by the world’s most pristine beaches, framed by primeval forests and brilliantly clear ocean waters, it is home to the legendary Raffles. An extraordinary setting for 14 exceptional villas with superlative views of the Indian Ocean—Raffles Estates. Truly, paradise reborn.
Located on the magical island of Praslin, are exquisite villas with private pools, touched by the sublime beauty of white powdered sands, opal-hued oceans and lush green hills. The 30-hectare resort features 86 villas, an outstanding Raffles Spa and a plethora of dining options for an exquisite dining experience. The luxury of space makes the villas the perfect haven for romantic getaways or family stays. Only fifteen minutes by plane or helicopter from Mahé Island, and a million miles from ordinary.
The mighty waters of the Indian ocean swirl around it. The large bulk of Africa looms right next to it. You would think, that with such large presences lurking around it, this small island nation would be overshadowed and lost in the blue waves.

That simply isn’t true of Seychelles. Every year, thousands of tourists make their way to the 115 island nation, to partake in spectacular virgin beaches, to enjoy the sunny weather, to peer into its thick forests, to dig into the flavours of octopus and coconut, to slip into its surrounding waters and meet the sea beasts that lurk there, to enjoy the cultures and carnivals.

Seychelles might be dwarfed in size, but it packs quite a punch. So, if you’re planning to visit this beautiful country, the first thing you must ask is what would be the best time to visit Seychelles? Now that you’ve asked, let us answer.
