Visit La Digue, an island of timeless quality and stunning beaches, especially Coco Beach, which is a great spot to enjoy a barbecue in total seclusion. There are many bird sanctuaries where you can hear all the exotic birds that surround you. La Digue is basic but this island has a uniquely relaxed charm. The resort ‘La Digue Island Lodge’ is open to non residents and offers a pleasant atmosphere for an afternoon refreshment.

Home of the famous Coco de Mer Sanctuary and the Seychelles’ only 18 hole golf course (which is internationally renowned) at ‘Constance Lemuria Resort’. Praslin is one of the world’s best kept secrets and ranks amongst the purest destinations. So pure in fact, that the island was once thought to be the Garden of Eden. Wander along the soft pink coral beach or snorkel amongst the large granite boulders scattered along the shoreline.

Just a mile across from Praslin, visit the National Parks which are home to the world famous giant tortoises. Cut grass beneath the coconut trees bordered by huge granite blocks, gives this whole area a real feeling of individuality.

Five miles from Praslin and Curieuse lie the beautiful La Soeurs (The Sisters) and their idyllic anchorage.  Relax here and enjoy the views from your charter yacht.

12 miles from Les Soeurs, Aride is a bird sanctuary where birds stop on their north to south migrations. There are numerous areas where you can see birds nesting, and many are so tame that you can go right up to within six inches of them. Tracks are found in the sand where turtles come up and lay their eggs and the view down from the cliffs looking northward is fantastic with the frigate and tropical birds flying overhead.

Eight miles from Aride Island lie two beautiful islands with stunning deserted beaches. The inner islands of the Seychelles are unique as the only granite islands in the world, which accounts for the beautiful and varied landscape of Cousine Island. Surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and maintaining a balmy temperature year round, this island is a haven for unique, rare and endangered flora and fauna. Cousine Island actively promotes and protects the local environment ensuring that the habitats favoured by rare species are left intact. In 1992, Cousine Island was purchased by an individual who made a conscious decision to return the island to its natural state. This conservation work has involved the identification and removal of non-native vegetation, including a coconut plantation, and replacing alien species with native plants. In addition, work has been done to restore the habitats of many native species, including the critically-endangered Hawksbill turtles.

26 miles from Cousins, Silhouette is a stunning marine park offering amazing views over to Mahe island. The beautiful and mountainous island of Silhouette is the third largest in the Seychelles archipelago with Mount Dubon reaching a height of 780m. It is now the location of Hilton Resorts’ fabulous Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa.
Just 19 miles from Mahé, Silhouette Island’s rainforest-clad slopes give way to pristine white sand beaches with huge granite boulders. Here you will find an abundance of fauna and flora, including many rare species. With so many indigenous plants and animals, Silhouette Island has now been designated a Seychelles National Park. Wonderful walks abound, and expert help is available with guided walks offered by the resident naturalist at Labriz Seychelles. Encircled by a coral reef, Silhouette is also a Marine National Park, making it ideal for snorkelling as well as diving.
