Where to stay at an adults only hotel in Seychelles?
Mahé Island: Choices on Seychelles’ largest island
Praslin & La Digue: Picture-perfect island vacation
Equipped with some of the most picturesque scenery in the world, Praslin and La Digue are the sleepier islands in Seychelles, primed for ultimate relaxation. Much less developed than Mahé, Praslin is the second largest island and is filled with not much other than soft, sprawling beaches: the Anse Lazio and Cote D’Or have been deemed some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and are naturally worth a visit. Foodies will love Praslin’s traditional Creole restaurants. Admirers of nature should put Vallée De Mai on their list. This nature reserve, consisting of a natural rainforest, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was originally thought to be the Garden of Eden. La Digue flaunts a relaxed island vibe, home to only around 2,000 inhabitants. The best way to fully embrace the laid-back island energy is with a stay away from the bustle of vacationing families and other distractions. On the other hand, active couples will be pleased to know that the small island is primed for scenic cycling of varying difficulty. An adults only hotel on Praslin or La Digue is perfect for those seeking a true island escape; packed with sunbathing, lavish spa treatments, yoga on the beach, and trekking through the island landscape to discover secluded areas just for you and your partner.
Private Islands: The ultimate escape in ultimate luxury
Those celebrating some very special, or looking to treat themselves to something totally sublime, Seychelles’ private islands promise to blow you away. Primed for weddings, honeymoons, birthdays, or that special dream vacation, jet off the shore of Mahé to one of the lush islands and discover some of the finest island accommodations in the world. Nestled in a tropical garden on an island shared only with fellow hotel guests, within air-conditioned villas with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, this is the real deal when it comes to island vacations. Your adults only hotel will have everything taken care of for you: discover the underwater world with snorkeling off private beaches, savor international cuisine in the first-rate restaurants, and lest you forget to explore the entirety of your own private island.
Good to know
Getting there: Given Seychelles’ location in the middle of the ocean, the islands are naturally not the quickest nor the cheapest place to get to. However, there are airports both on Mahé Island (SEZ) and on Praslin (PRI). Praslin’s airport only charters to other islands in the Seychelles while Mahé handles the international flights. Expect at least a half-day of travel to arrive in Victoria. From there, hop on a very quick 15-minute flight to PRI, or, buy a ticket (in advance!) for the ferry which travels between the two islands in addition to the other smaller ones. Be wary that the ferry ride is purported to be quite a bumpy (and nauseating) one. If you’re staying on a private island, most times the hotel offers a personal meet & greet service at the airport, from where they’ll ferry you to the resort. You’ll have to arrange this with the hotel in advance and pay for it.
