Confidential islands and intimate accommodation for curious travellers
When one thinks of the Seychelles, the names Mahé, Praslin or La Digue naturally spring to mind, so synonymous are these islands with azure lagoons, granite-edged beaches and an incomparable gentle way of life. But for those who dream of getting away from it all, of treating themselves to a more confidential, exclusive or wild chapter, the archipelago conceals many little-known gems where accommodation is a promise of absolute escape.
And it is perhaps here that the Seychelles reveal their most beautiful truth: more than 70 % of the archipelago's establishments are small, ecolodges, guest houses or resorts on a human scale. Here, luxury doesn't have to mean ostentation, and there are experiences to suit all budgets.

A little pearl in the Sainte-Anne Marine Park, Cerf Island is an unspoilt haven just 10 minutes by boat from Mahé, but light years away from the hustle and bustle. No roads here, no cars, just lush jungle, turquoise coves... and charming addresses.
